Meet LaShaya
Director, Caregiver, & Coach at Healing the Pieces
Pieces so special
Hi, I’m LaShaya Collier—but my kiddos call me Ms. Shay.
Growing up in New York City, my family and I were unfamiliar with the world of special needs—until my nephew was diagnosed with autism at a young age. I remember my sister saying, “We have to try to understand him our way.” Like many families, we had no idea what kind of journey lay ahead. I saw firsthand the challenges my sister faced just trying to access basic resources and support.
Now, as a special needs care coordinator, I’ve dedicated my life to helping families navigate the many hurdles that come with raising a child with unique needs. I understand deeply—both emotionally and spiritually—what families go through in search of help and hope.
That’s why my team and I are committed to supporting each family we work with. Whether it’s keeping up with doctor appointments, attending IEP meetings, or helping with daily routines, my team and I are here to walk alongside you every step of the way. Were passionate about what we do—and that passion shines through in the success of the families we serve.
