Accepting Clients

Hi there, I'm Shelby. I am a psychotherapist licensed in Ohio with specialty areas in trauma, and serving veterans and their spouses.

Therapist in Gahanna, OH

About My Clients

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. I look forward to working with you!

My Background and Approach

My therapy style is warm, laid back, and interactive. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. After your first session, you can expect to feel hopeful and have a clear understanding of the goals that we will work on together in therapy. Through therapy, you'll gain the knowledge and skills that you need to handle life stressors and mental health symptoms. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, dialectical-behavioral, and solution-focused therapy. I also believe in the importance of physical activity and overall well-being as a pillar of good mental health. I will tailor our sessions and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

As a therapist, I believe in creating a safe, non-judgmental, and welcoming space where clients feel genuinely heard, respected, and supported in their healing journey. I approach therapy with empathy, compassion, and a deep commitment to fostering personal growth and emotional well-being. My practice is rooted in evidence-based approaches, blending techniques that are both effective and adaptable to eindividual'sal’s needs. I mainly provide person-centered, trauma-informed care, ensuring my clients feel empowered, validated, and understood. I believe therapy is a collaborative process where clients are the experts in their own lives. My role is to offer guidance, tools, and insights to help clients navigate their challenges and build resilience. Whether you're dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, or navigating life transitions, I am passionate about assisting individuals to uncover their strengths, develop new coping strategies, and achieve a greater sense of balance.
