In response to Mrs. Torres’s Grief and Faith Workshop was a great presentation. She provided good resources, her presentation was delivered well, and her presentation was well organized. The participants were interactive with questions and connected well with your information and delivery. It was my pleasure to have you present for our NASW Pembroke LPU. I hope you'll join us again for a continuation of your expertise.

I have had the opportunity to attend a Faith and Grief presentation by Mrs. Shakeeta Torres and it was a phenomenal blend of scriptures, expression of her faith, and her clinical training. This training enhanced awareness about the role spirituality has in coping with grief and how it is reflected in the Bible. Although scriptures were integrated, it was beneficial for those who may carry different faith beliefs. Overall, strong and organized presenter. Well worth it!
Dr. Veronica Hardy, LCSW, Author, Speaker
Honest, tactful, passionate, dedicated, caring and insightful are a few words that come to mind when I consider Shakeeta Torres as a Speaker, Colleague, Therapist spiritual and community leader. Her passion to see others healthy, whole and as over-comers is the force that causes her to continue growing as a professional and as a spiritual leader. This passion and dedication ensures her clients receive the best services possible.
Shakeeta!! Thank you dear for a fabulous presentation yesterday. My heart is resonating nothing but praise and thanks to God for allowing your gift to break ground in the hearts of so many. Oh what a time we had…so grateful! Yes, must have you back for part 2. For those who missed out, the opportunity will come again….step in while the Spirit is moving. Through this beautiful vessel (Mrs. Shakeeta Torres), the Lord dropped intimate seeds of thought, insight, encouragement, and instruction. I’ll be in touch to lock you in for part 2. Thank you dear!
