What is therapy like? What does a typical session with you look like?

First, we see if we are a good therapy match by discussing what you are looking for in therapy and if I am someone who specializes in what could help you. If we decide to move forward, I then get more information about your history and we collaborate on a treatment plan together to help you meet your goals. Treatment plans and goals will be different for each individual, but once we have that, then we could work on meeting those goals in sessions.

I am a licensed clinical social worker with extensive experience in outpatient therapy and hands-on parenting training. I am trained in EMDR which is a therapeutic model for addressing and treating trauma. I have completed certification programs in Child-Parent Psychotherapy, the Circle of Security-Parenting program, hypnosis, and I have national certification as an adoption competent therapist with the Center for Adoption Support and Education (C.A.S.E.). Working with women who are experiencing symptoms of anxiety and/or relationship issues is my passion. My goal is to help you to feel understood and validated. I do this by listening to you very carefully, and asking questions to help us figure out what the root cause is for your distress. Once we can identify the root of the issue, we can then figure out how to help you move forward and figure out a plan for facing life’s challenges head on. Many people come to me and tell me that they don’t know where to start or how to explain what’s been going on, and that is totally okay, let the therapist worry about all of that. Let’s work together and figure it out.

Typical sessions with me are structured around the client's needs and goals. Therapy with me is about bringing awareness to unhealthy behaviors and thought patterns that may be impacting your life. Without recognition of these patterns it is impossible to make a conscious decision to engage in a new behavior.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor providing services to clients. I've been in the field for over 5 years.

The work I do is multifaceted in nature. I begin sessions with a discussion aimed at understanding who the client is and what is bringing them into therapy, whether it is about healing, empowerment, personal growth, or something else. Then I work with the client to develop a plan of action, outlining their goals, their hopes for what they want to get out of therapy as they move through the process, and where they would like to be by the end of the process. Once we agree on these important benchmarks, the next steps begin. I identify the strengths that you bring to the table. These are so important because we all bring unique skills and talents into any dynamic, and it’s important that you know how to use these to accomplish your goals. Keeping those in mind, I work with my clients to address the issues as they have come up in the past, and importantly, how they manifest in the here-in-now. This allows us to map out together, how the past informs the present, and how to approach alleviating distress. I do this by helping you become more resilient in the face of future challenges, and achieve a new sense of freedom and control over your life and well-being.

Especially for some of the most successful among us, we can hold ourselves to the highest standards of performance in all areas. Sometimes we may feel that we're supposed to have all the answers to the challenges life throws our way, even when that isn’t always possible. For so many, an achievement focus can come at the expense of other areas of our lives. I see therapy as a collaborative experience. I work with my clients to help unlock what holds them back to gain an understanding of how our histories shape our present, while building a foundation of skills in the here-in-now to promote healing and a future that is self-defined. My approach is solution-focused and uses elements of Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Psychodynamic Therapy to identify and build on your strengths. As a Substance Abuse Specialist, I help individuals including young adults transform their relationships with substances and behaviors that feel out of control. Therapy should be a process that makes us feel free to be fully ourselves. To heal and enliven us to be authentically, beautifully, and powerfully exactly who we are, unbound by what has in the past, held us back. Let's work together to find strength, meaning, healing, and freedom so you can define your own path. It's time to be free and come alive again. Let’s do it together.

As a Licensed Independent Social Worker, I serve adults who are seeking to improve their mental health and overall well-being using a person-centered approach. This means that you will have a safe space to be yourself without judgment. Together we will define and enhance your strengths to help you achieve healing and wellness. It takes courage to seek treatment and to take the first steps towards change. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to support and empower you.

Hi there, I'm Shelby. I am a psychotherapist licensed in Ohio, specializing in trauma and serving veterans and their spouses. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns, including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, career challenges, and trauma. I believe in working with clients and couples to identify strengths and develop the skills needed to navigate life's challenges.

During your first appointment with me, I will initiate a comprehensive assessment, which may encompass a review of your medical history, a physical examination, and potentially diagnostic tests. This thorough evaluation aims to understand your health, pinpoint any concerns, and formulate an effective treatment strategy.

Since 2004, I have worked extensively in various inpatient acute care environments in Medical as well as Behavioral Psychiatric Inpatient Units covering Adolescents, Acute Adults, Geriatric Med-Psych, and Psychiatric Intensive Care centered on the significantly impacted, underserved population. Through the years, I have cultivated an exquisite skill set and profound philosophy centered on providing compassionate and empathetic care to a diverse pool of patients grappling with various psychiatric and dual diagnoses, and behavioral health challenges. My passion to help individuals identify the incapacitating beliefs that are hindering them back in life and resolve how to move past them has been influential in forging a path towards an increased sense of power, mastery and triumph. I welcome you.

We’ll probably spend the first few minutes just checking in. Don’t be surprised if I ask about your kids, mom or your pup.  Then we go where YOU want to go. We have a plan of goals and objectives and we tackle whatever you feel like you need support with!

Sessions with me starts with talking about how your week was. What went well? And what did not go so well? Depending on what comes up, we'll work on coping skills or do a deeper exploration of what is worrying you. It can be work stress, feeling disconnected in your relationships, or addiction. Nothing is too small or too big to bring up. Together, we'll uncover, or re-discover, your strengths and sense of purpose so that you can make change and/or find resiliency when life gets too overwhelming.

I help people explore the self-doubt and dissatisfaction in an otherwise put together life. Your life not so put together? Or falling apart? I can help there too. I believe you already have the qualities to transform your life and your relationships. With the right perspective and support system, difficult times can transition to a stronger, more resilient you. I can provide you with a safe and nurturing environment when life feels overwhelming or challenging. I work from a strength-based and practical perspective that supports self-exploration and healing.

An initial visit with a provider involves a medical history review, physical examination, and possibly diagnostic tests to evaluate a patient's health, identify issues, and develop a treatment plan.
