Our Story
The Shift began with a simple belief: real change is always possible. What starts as pain, depression, or disconnection can transform into growth, joy, and strength.
Founded on lived experience, The Shift was built to help others find their way from struggle to healing — and from silence to connection.
Today, The Shift is more than a counseling practice. It’s a space of compassion and trust, where care meets expertise.
We walk alongside people through life’s hardest moments and celebrate their transformation into new seasons of life — helping them create their best life, in their own way.

You will have wonderful experience at The Shift Counseling and Wellness in Atascocita. Chess is compassionate, professional, and truly child-centered. From the start, Chess created a calm, safe space and gave us practical strategies that helped at home and school. The practice is trauma-informed, scheduling is easy, and telehealth is convenient when needed. If you’re seeking child therapy, individual counseling, or parenting support in Atascocita, I highly recommend Chess and The Shift Counseling and Wellness.
