Today, I am speaking with Shakeeta Torres about what it means to be a Christiaan counselor. I connected with Mrs Torres via Instagram but when I started to look her up, I realized that I had previously crossed paths with her mentor. So, I knew then that she was good people! I asked her to be a guest on my podcast and I am grateful that she agreed to be a guest.
Mrs Torres is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and owner of Empowered to Shift in North Carolina. In addition to being a social worker/therapist, Mrs Torres is a public speaker, a life coach and a prophetess. She is a Survivor of Childhood Trauma and understands the importance of healing and walking in freedom. She enjoys helping her clients by walking with them on their journey to Healing. Mrs. Torres’ main mission is to, “EmPower Christians Leaders to UnPack PAIN, Discover their PASSIONS so they can Walk Boldly into their God Given PURPOSE”. So many Believers are Suffering in Silence and lack a safe place for them to heal and receive spiritual and clinical support. Mrs Torres has observed that many are struggling with Anxiety, Grief, Depression, & Trauma and this prevents them from truly walking in Freedom and boldly in Purpose.
