Shyann Hamilton Wright

Shyann Hamilton Wright

Psychotherapist
NY
“Do it scared.” That’s my philosophy for life and therapy. Fear doesn’t mean stop – it means something meaningful is ahead. And if you’re reading this, feeling nervous about starting therapy, know that courage isn’t the absence of fear. It’s moving forward anyway. The pandemic changed my path completely. I was set on getting my master’s in early childhood education when everything shut down. In that forced pause, I realized I wanted something deeper – not just teaching, but helping people navigate their most overwhelming moments. Mental health counseling became my calling, though in many ways I’m still a teacher, helping clients learn about themselves and develop new ways of moving through the world. I’m Jamaican and Cherokee Indian, born and raised in the Bronx where I’ve lived my whole life. Before becoming a therapist, I worked in college admissions at Lehman, along with various other jobs that taught me patience, adaptability, and how to connect with people from every possible background. Those experiences, combined with my own challenges and hardships, shaped the therapist I am today. My biggest fear was ending up in a career I didn’t love. Now I can’t imagine doing anything else. I work with clients across the lifespan – from 5-year-olds in play therapy to adults navigating major transitions. But I’m especially passionate about young adults figuring out identity, boundaries, and how to stop people-pleasing their way through life. These are the themes that energize me because I remember that transition myself. Clients tell me our sessions feel calm and that they can talk about anything with me. They appreciate that we’re “actually doing work” and building real skills. I’m your curious, supportive teammate who asks questions that help you understand yourself better. You set the pace and direction.
