So what's the "HYPE?" Holistic, Yielding, Partner-focused, & Empowering

This approached was designed to meet you exactly where you are while advocating for the person you are becoming. Do you feel like the world is too loud and your voice too small? Whether navigating the heavy fog of depression, the hum of anxiety, or the overwhelming "What now?"—I see you. I’m Shana Marques, an LCSW, Certified School Social Worker, and a dedicated advocate for those who feel unseen. I founded Hype Healing to look at the "whole human." As a true empath and believer in change, I am here to be the person who "hypes" you up—reminding you that even the smallest progress is a victory and that resilience is your birthright. My practice is deeply person-centered: I meet you exactly where you are, in your rawest moments, no judgement. I pride myself on working from a culturally sensitive, trauma-informed lens. Our work is a partnership where I utilize modalities that empower you and divest from those that don’t. No one knows your experience better than you. Together, we will build the trust necessary to turn down the external noise so you can finally hear—and trust—your own inner compass. To maintain the highest standard of advocacy and individualized care, I am currently accepting private pay clients only. I am happy to provide Superbills for those looking to utilize out-of-network benefits. (I am currently in the process of credentialing with select providers—please inquire for the most up-to-date status). Updated April 2026.
