From the very beginning, Dr. Spirit has always held a profound passion and commitment to the mental health and well-being of others. Her lifelong dedication to mental health has already transformed countless lives and communities across the world. At a young age, Dr. Spirit saw firsthand the impact of community service through her parents’ dedication to serving those in their community. This early exposure instilled in her the belief that helping others was a natural part of life. Dr. Spirit’s journey in mental health began in elementary school when she was one of 10 students selected to launch her school’s first peer counseling program. Recognizing the profound impact of early intervention and peer support, she went on to develop similar programs throughout her middle and high school years, including support groups for historically marginalized students. These early experiences ignited a passion that has driven her career and life’s work.
In 2007, Dr. Spirit founded the for-profit social impact company T2S Enterprises, which continues to sit at the forefront of behavioral health, media, marketing, and consulting initiatives related to mental health across the United States. Since opening its doors, Dr. Spirit has spearheaded her organization in supporting the mental health goals of countless Fortune 500 companies, national sports leagues, school districts, congressional activities, nonprofits and departments of education. Her expertise also extends to the entertainment, judicial, and political sectors.
Dr. Spirit’s journey took a significant turn when she traveled to Egypt early in her career. This experience provided her with a deep understanding of how social determinants affect mental health on a global scale. It was the catalyst for her forming relationships with mental health professionals in more than 35 countries across the world. Her global perspective has been crucial in advocating for mental health equity, emphasizing the importance of culturally competent care and, addressing the unique challenges faced by diverse populations.

T2S C.A.R.E.S. aims to address the rising rates of mental illness projected to account for more than 18% of the global disease burden at a cost of $6 trillion to the GDP by 2030.
