A Fresh Approach to Mental Wellness Designed Just For You
Clinically grounded, faith-informed mental health support built for the real demands of women in leadership.
Whatever You're Carrying, You Don't Have to Carry It Alone
Life doesn't always give you room to pause…not when there are people counting on you, decisions to make, and expectations to meet, day after day.
Maybe it's anxiety that won't quiet down.
Maybe it's grief you haven't had space to feel.
Maybe it's burnout that's been building longer than you'd like to admit, or a season of transition that's shaken ground you thought was solid.
Whatever it is, the hardest part usually isn't knowing you need support — it's finding a place that understands both what you're going through and the faith that shapes how you want to heal.
That's the gap Faitherapy was built to close — for anxiety and chronic stress, depression and mood challenges, grief and loss, trauma, life transitions, and yes, the burnout and boundary fatigue that come with carrying leadership on top of everything else.
We're Not Your Average Mental Health Practice
We help women leaders access healing at the intersection of faith and mental health — real clinical support, without ever leaving your beliefs at the door.
Hi, I'm Marilyn Shaw. Years ago, I went through my own mental health crisis — and I couldn't find a place where my faith and my healing were allowed to sit at the same table. So I built one.
Today I'm a psychotherapist, professor, and the founder of Faitherapy. I hold a Master's in Clinical Counseling from Emporia State University and serve as a National Mental Health First Aid Educator with the National Council for Mental Wellbeing. I host the Faitherapy Podcast and speak on healing and burnout, including my TEDx talk, "Disconnecting from Achievement Fatigue: Reclaiming Your Life Beyond Success".
When you work with me, you're working with someone who's been on both sides of this.

The Bee Well Membership exists to make care more affordable without going through insurance at all.
