"2024 has been hard on us all. If your teen is needing help and you’re not sure where to turn… Tewanda is excellent at her craft!"

Hello Beautiful Souls!
I am Tewanda Shepherd, an Independent Social Worker for Teens & Families. I have two Social Work Degrees (BSW & MSW) both with a specialty in working with children, adolescents, & families, and over 20 years of experience in the field. But the truth is, the youth that I work with couldn't care less about my degrees or my experience. All they need to know is that I genuinely care about them.
During my journey, I discovered that teenagers are my favorite people to work with and how they feel about themselves, their ability to bounce back from challenges, and who they feel connected to have major impacts on their thoughts, their feelings, their actions, and ultimately their outcomes.
Parents/Guardians, & Youth Group Leaders
Do you remember the challenges you faced as a teenager? How was your confidence? How resilient were you? Where did you belong?
Now imagine being a teenager TODAY (a little bit scary right?)!
Due to the many challenges of being a teen today I created SHEP Legacy Solutions with a determination to help teens better navigate the turbulent waters of modern adolescence, while also making sure families are healthy and on the same page.
My goal is to help create family dynamics where teens and their families feel supported and understood.
Because sometimes teens have problems...
