Hear It From Me
I believe you must bring your whole self to the table if you want to thrive in today’s world; your personality, your sense of humor, your heart and most importantly, your faith
I have learned how and when to blend in, fade away, embrace, and fly. Indeed, through all of the life lessons I learned that I would not be the woman I am today. While I have learned to overcome these unique circumstances, I am not unique. As I said, such hardships do not discriminate. All of these elements brought me to establish The Red Shoe MinistryI
Philippians 4:13 “I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.” ... The “how” is what he then states in Philippians 4:13 as "doing all things through Christ." Paul was a man who preached the gospel in all kinds of places, some of which were hostile. He drew his strength from the power of Christ.
Philippians 4:13
Our Ministry
What We Do
I started The Red Shoe Ministry with the goal of offering resources. The Red Shoe Ministry recognizes the significant challenges that women face in their journey towards mental well-being. Our mission is to empower women by providing them with the necessary tools, support, and education to navigate the complexities of mental health issues. Through workshops, counseling services, and community outreach programs, scholarships, we aim to create a safe and nurturing environment for these women to heal and thrive through adversities.
We strongly believe that mental health should be a priority in our society. The stigmas and barriers surrounding mental health often prevent individuals from seeking the help they need. By investing in the Red Shoe Ministry, you will be contributing to the betterment of women's mental health and overall quality of life.
Meet Our Founder
Theronda Myers, LICSW, Founder of The Red Shoe Ministry.
Welcome to The Red Shoe Ministry, my very own passion project.
Theronda Myers, is a licensed clinical social worker. Theronda received her Master of Social Work (MSW) from Boston University. Theronda has extensive training in treating adverse childhood events, sexual assault, and Posttraumatic Stress Disorder. Theronda has worked in community mental health settings, school social work, nursing homes, children and family agencies, community mental health and advocacy organizations. For over ten years, she has worked as an Emergency Crisis Counselor.
Through her professional and personal experiences Theronda has identified women appeared to be twice as likely to develop and experience a longer duration of posttraumatic symptoms. The challenges of gender discrimination, gendered violence, and mistreatment of women directly work to undermine women's mental health. Theronda’s work has brought to light the stigma of mental health leads to fewer women seeking services which can increase women's exposure to stress, and stress is significant predictor of mental illness.
In 2018, Theronda created Abide Intergrative Services, inviting women and men of all ages to fight the stigma of mental health and trauma together. Abide provides Christians and non-Christians with a safe and healthy environment to overcome their mental health challenges. Specifically, Abide helps women manage their lives with the choice to incorporate Christian values, without fear of religious persecution. Theronda, believes you’re not alone in this process and together we can work to eliminate such stigma; while eliminating barriers of shame and trauma.
It is Theronda’s hope that while her clients' circumstances may have affected them, they do not define nor confine their lives. It is with this in mind that she aims to help her clients not only survive but thrive.
