Clinical psychotherapist calls for more attention to mental health

Shane Tull

The youngest of 14 children and half of a pair of identical twins, Shane Tull was always surrounded by family and from an early age he knew he wanted to work with people and help them. So it was no big surprise when he eventually became a licensed Clinical Psychotherapist. With more than 20 years of practicing in the US, more recently he has also been practicing in Guyana.

“Being the youngest of 14 siblings, I am always fascinated by relationships and how people think and to think in a way as an individual and how that connects to families…,” Tull said as he explained his journey towards his career choice. By the time he was five years old, most of his siblings were married and had their own families and he got to go to their homes and be with their families.

“I really love the family set up and that is really what influenced me in my choice in doing mental health and psychotherapy,” he continued.
