Empowering Women to Lead Confidently

  • Setting Us Apart

    Our approach is distinct from traditional therapy or coaching. We utilize innovative techniques like EMDR, Brainspotting, and other somatic and cognitive approaches to help clients process past experiences, challenge limiting beliefs, and develop greater emotional resilience. 

    EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) and Brainspotting are therapeutic techniques that help process past traumas, distressing experiences, and limiting beliefs that can contribute to current challenges in leadership. 

    These experiences can manifest as imposter syndrome, difficulty asserting oneself, struggles with work-life balance, and other obstacles. 

    By processing these underlying issues, clients can experience greater emotional freedom, confidence, and resilience in their leadership roles. 

  • Who Can Benefit

    This service is ideal for career-driven women, including empty nesters, who have not yet achieved their desired career goals and are seeking clarity and direction.

    Many of these women have watched their peers advance or be selected for opportunities while they feel overlooked.

    They may be grappling with feelings of being stuck, experiencing career plateaus, and struggling with stress, anxiety, or self-doubt in their leadership roles.

    This program offers support and strategies to help them understand the reasons behind their current challenges and empowers them to move forward in their professional journeys.

  • Our Commitment

    We create a safe space for women to:

    Explore biases affecting leadership and career advancement, especially for women of color and older women.

    Foster self-awareness and celebrate diverse strengths.

    Build confidence and challenge self-doubt.

    Enhance communication and navigate interpersonal dynamics.

    Cultivate resilience and develop stress management strategies, honoring age and cultural identity.

My Shift…

My name is Cyd, and I need you to picture this: I was fired at 42 years old and facing a crossroads. I was a whirlwind of emotions—shame, relief, excitement, and bone-deep fear. It was a pivotal moment and an awakening of sorts.

The bumps and bruises of building a business from the ground up taught me lessons no textbook could. I came to understand that, as women, we often minimize ourselves. We dismiss our gut feelings, defend our tone, and apologize for our presence – all to fit into a mold that was never ours to begin with.

Does this resonate with you? I understand how it feels. That’s why I created EJ Women’s Leadership Consultation. My aim is to help you dismantle those limiting beliefs and cultivate a leadership style that honors your true self.

I recognize that investing in yourself can seem daunting, but what is the cost of staying stuck? Together, we can unlock your potential and create a future where you survive and thrive.

My belief…

My name is Shay, and I would like you to imagine a space where your leadership potential isn't just encouraged but nurtured. That's the space I strive to create. As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 15 years of dedicated experience in mental health, I understand the unique challenges women face, especially in leadership roles. I'm not just a therapist but a guide, a partner on your journey to 'The Balance Within.'

My expertise in trauma-informed care and family systems therapy provides a strong foundation for my work. I understand that our personal and professional lives are intertwined and that true leadership comes from a place of wholeness. Whether you're navigating workplace dynamics, seeking to heal from past experiences, or simply striving for greater self-understanding, I offer a compassionate and insightful approach.

My work illuminates my understanding of how systems impact us and how we can, in turn, impact those systems. My passion is to help you "trust the process" of your life's journey and empower you to define your path. If you're a woman ready to step into your authentic leadership, I'm here to support you in manifesting your purpose.
