Shellany has worked as a counselor for over 15 years, and she entered the field after losing a friend as a teenager to a mental illness, which changed her life. The therapist she went to after the loss of her friend helped her learn how to grieve, and she wanted to help others learn how to process things they were dealing with as well. She has experience working with depression, anxiety, Bipolar Disorder, career challenges, grief, pain management, addictions, sleeping difficulties, Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder (ADHD) and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD).
Her approach combines cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), solution focused therapy, and motivational interviewing, and she believes in meeting participants wherever they may be in their journey as they work towards healing, growth and living life to the fullest.
