Meet Shana Bennett, MSW
Mental Health Consultant & Spiritual Life Coach
Founder, Restoring Resiliency LLC
With over 17 years of experience in both clinical and mental health settings, as well as earning my MSW from the University of Akron- I’ve worked with individuals across a wide range of mental and emotional needs. I’ve seen what works… but more importantly, I’ve seen what doesn’t.
People who were self-aware.
People who genuinely wanted to feel better.
People navigating real-life challenges—grief, divorce, overwhelm, life transitions, emotional burnout—yet didn’t necessarily need a diagnosis or long term treatment planning.
They often struggled to follow through.
Not because they didn’t care.
Not because they weren’t trying.
But because what they needed didn’t fit neatly into a clinical model.
They had real-life struggles…
and they needed real-life strategies.
That realization is what led me to create Restoring Resiliency.
You have to understand that this work isn’t just professional for me—it’s personal.
As a mother, a caregiver and as someone who has navigated my own seasons of overwhelm, internal battles, and the pressure of holding everything together while still showing up for others, I understand how heavy life can feel behind the scenes.
That’s why this space is different.
Because mental and emotional challenges don’t just exist in a clinical sense…
They show up in our daily lives, our relationships, and our ability to function as our best selves.
And beyond that—there’s another layer that often goes unspoken.
The spiritual weight we carry.
The internal battles we fight.
The unseen impact of what I believe is a very real spiritual war affecting our thoughts, our peace, and our sense of direction.
My approach is rooted in supporting the whole person—mind, body, and spirit—helping you gain clarity, build emotional strength, and reconnect with who you are and where you’re meant to go.

What Sets Restoring Resiliency Apart?
Because not everyone needs therapy—
but that doesn’t mean they don’t need support.
At Restoring Resiliency, you’re not stepping into a one-size-fits-all program or a rigid system that expects you to fit a label. You’re stepping into a space designed for real people navigating real-life challenges—whether that’s emotional overwhelm, life transitions, or patterns you’re ready to break but haven’t been able to on your own.
This work is grounded in deep understanding—not guesswork. You get the benefit of clinical insight without the pressure of clinical treatment.
This approach goes beyond surface-level coaching. We focus on what’s underneath—the patterns, emotional responses, and even the unseen spiritual influences that can keep you feeling stuck, disconnected, or out of alignment.
You don’t have to have it all figured out.
You don’t even have to know exactly what’s wrong.
You just have to be ready for something different!
Here, support is:
- Practical – real strategies you can actually use in your daily life
- Personalized – no two journeys look the same
- Spiritually grounded – acknowledging the deeper battles that impact your life
- Pressure-free – no expectations, just progress at your pace
Because real life struggles need real life strategies—
