"Working with Dr. Shakenya C. Burch from 2020 to 2022 was my first experience with therapy, and it was truly exceptional. From our very first session, she created a supportive and calming environment where I felt safe to explore my concerns. Dr. Burch possesses a rare combination of deep knowledge and profound empathy. She is a phenomenal listener who has a unique gift for connecting present-day challenges to past experiences in a way that brings incredible clarity.

I would sometimes join our sessions thinking that I didn't have anything to share or explore but then I would leave that session with a new, more profound understanding of myself. The personal growth I experienced under her guidance was significant; I felt more grounded and emotionally nourished than ever before. And now, thanks to the tools and insights I gained from our time together, I navigate life's stressors with greater emotional intelligence and grace. I only stopped our sessions because I relocated, but if Dr. Burch ever offers virtual services in New Jersey, I would be the first to sign up. I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone seeking a truly transformative therapeutic experience."

"I have been working with Shakenya Burch since 2020, and I can say without hesitation that she has truly changed my life.

From the very beginning, Shakenya created a space that felt safe, affirming, and deeply supportive. She has an incredible ability to meet you where you are while still gently challenging you to grow. Over the years, she has helped me gain clarity, develop healthy boundaries, heal through difficult seasons, and build a stronger sense of self.

What sets Shakenya apart is her warmth, wisdom, and intentionality. She listens with compassion, asks powerful questions, and offers tools that are both practical and transformative. I’ve never felt rushed, judged, or dismissed — only seen, heard, and supported.

Because of our work together, I move through life with more confidence, emotional awareness, and peace than I ever thought possible. The growth I’ve experienced since starting therapy with Shakenya has impacted every area of my life in the best way.

If you are looking for a therapist who is genuine, insightful, and deeply invested in your healing and growth, I cannot recommend Shakenya Burch enough. Working with her has been one of the best decisions I’ve ever made."
