Dr. Shawyna Murray, LMFT
About me
I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in the state of Florida and I have worked in the field providing client focused therapy to clients of all ages and stages in life. I am a graduate of Nova Southeastern University and I came to the field because I enjoy hearing stories, and the opportunity to help others create new life stories. My goal is always to offer a safe space to process and work through the various challenges that life presents. In that safe space, it is my sincere honor to listen to your needs and concerns and partner with you to create a plan to help you meet those challenges as they come, judgement free. I also work with couples and families, helping to positively change relational and communication patterns. I also enjoy working with families with members living with Alzheimer's disease, or other Dementias, Cancer and other chronic illnesses, to help them navigate the anxiety and to prepare for the journey these illness' can take them on. Whatever side of this experience you find yourself on, I would like to be there to help.

Dr. Murray is extraordinary at what she does. Working with her has been life-changing. The tools she has given me have allowed me to face my challenges head-on and accomplish my goals. She speaks life into me and teaches me how to do it for myself. One of my biggest struggles is seeking validation from others. Dr. Murray taught me to trust God and seek his validation. That has truly been rewarding. I am a testimony of what prayer and a good therapist can do!

Dr. Murray has been such a blessing in my life. I have been seeing her for almost 3 years now and I can go on and on on how amazing she is. She is extremely professional, knowledgeable, kind, and just is genuinely invested in you. She helps me stay on track of things when life is just feeling overwhelming, she encourages and motivates me to do the things I feel that I can’t do or am procrastinating on doing. Dr.Murray is truly amazing at what she does.. the list goes on and on. I don’t know where I’d be if it wasn’t for her and I mean that so much. Thank you BetterHelp for helping me find not just a therapist but MY therapist, my biggest supporter, my confidant, my friend.

Dr. Murray is extraordinary. She is a woman of color and a Christian which was what I was looking for and has helped me tremendously.
