Meet Shaniya Ewing, LCMHCA
Hi! I’m Shaniya, a therapist providing counseling for individuals across North Carolina. I believe healing happens in spaces where you feel genuinely seen, safe, and understood. I specialize in working with LGBTQ+ clients, individuals navigating Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD), Bipolar Disorder, anxiety, depression, and major life transitions. Whether you’re dealing with intense emotions, relationship challenges, identity exploration, or feeling stuck, we’ll work together to understand what you’re experiencing and build tools that fit your real life.
I’m a real person who will talk with you openly and collaboratively. I’ll listen closely to your story while also offering reflections, questions, and tools that can help you move forward. If you’re looking for a therapist who is supportive, direct, and genuinely invested in helping you build a life that feels more stable and authentic, we might be a good fit.

My Training
My clinical work is grounded in evidence-based approaches including Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), trauma-informed care, and person-centered therapy. These approaches help clients better understand their emotions, develop healthier coping strategies, and create lasting changes in their daily lives.
I focus on integrating practical skill-building with deeper emotional understanding so therapy doesn’t just stay in the session, it actually translates into real life.
How I Can Help
In our work together, we’ll slow things down and make sense of what you’re experiencing. We’ll identify what’s been weighing on you, develop tools to help you navigate difficult moments, and build a stronger understanding of yourself along the way.
My goal isn’t to tell you who to be or what choices to make. It’s to support you in building a life that feels steadier, more authentic, and more aligned with who you actually are.
