Mendy Shriver

I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor who helps individuals and families experience  lasting change through a Christ-centered, whole-person approach. I am trained in EMDR and Emotion Focused Therapy and a Certified Play Therapist. I specialize in helping distressed families heal by repairing attachment wounds and restoring connection among parents, children, and couples. As a mom through both birth and adoption, I bring lived understanding of trauma, identity, and family integration into my work.

I began my career as a clinical mental health social worker and later spent many years in women’s fitness and holistic wellness, founding Fit By Burn and creating Gospel Centered Health and the Holy Habits Bible Study and Journal. These experiences shaped my belief that emotional, spiritual, and physical health are deeply connected. I later served as Director of the Pleasant Valley Counseling Center, where I expanded access to care, led clinicians and interns, and strengthened the quality of clinical services provided to the community.

Today, I supervise counseling interns from various universities, reflecting my commitment to ethical, high-quality care and continued professional growth.

I’ve been married for 28 years and am a mom of five, including two children adopted from West Africa, and a proud grandmother of two. My family’s journey continues to inform the empathy and care I bring into every session.

If you’re seeking a counselor who combines clinical expertise, whole-person insight, and genuine compassion, I would be honored to walk with you toward healing and hope.
