Anxiety & Gut-Brain Specialist- I've spent over a decade delving into the science of wellbeing and provide holistic treatment blending psychotherapy, hypnosis, and clinical nutrition. I am obsessed with the gut-brain connection, neuroscience, mental health, & nutrition! I take pride in creating a down-to-earth, compassionate, gentle, and nurturing approach to healing.

Do you feel anxious, depressed, stressed, unable to balance life and emotions? Do you feel like there’s no way out? Hello, my name is Michele Chenevert, but call me Shelley. I am a licensed clinical social worker and licensed master of family therapist. I have been trained as certified Accelerated Resolution Therapist. I work from a family systems orientation in a person centered manner, emphasizing relational, realistic perspectives. I have worked both inpatient and out. I treat individuals, aged twelve and up, and couples.

Do you suffer from depression, bipolar, anxiety, chronic stress, or other problem(s) that may be holding you back from reaching your potential? Do you wish you were more productive, healthier, and happier? Are there days when you just can't get out of bed or feel like the world is working against you - or perhaps you feel you are working against yourself? Do you often wish you could wake up and feel more positive about the day ahead instead of feeling anxious, insecure, frightened or hopeless? Do you need someone to hold you accountable, motivate you, and teach and offer you skills to overcome these struggles?

No matter what you are suffering from or want to improve, there are ways to get your brain to function better and give you the life you deserve.

I am an experienced, engaging therapist who brings warmth, humor, creativity, hope, and compassion into my practice. I am dedicated to helping rebuild, strengthen, and empower individuals and families who have felt lost or been hit by life's challenges. I have extensive experience in working with young individuals and families who have experienced significant loss or trauma, including physical, emotional, and sexual abuse. I specialize in early childhood, attachment, developmental/ behavioral issues, trauma in infancy/ early childhood, issues around adoption, and in helping parents develop insight and understanding into their child's behavior and experiences.

Accepting New Clients+ The "game-changers" for my clients are the "AHA" moments; the moments they find themselves thinking about something differently than before. That moment can change a person, and it can change their destiny. The majority of my clients are young adult females looking to understand what’s wrong with them… dating life, home life, work life… it all seems too overwhelming and there are more questions than answers. The aha moments come when we connect the dots between childhood experiences and current mind-set. There is nothing wrong with you; and what happened is not your fault.

Deciding to seek psychological services can be a difficult step. When looking for therapy, the right clinician/client match is essential. My goal is to respond to my clients with compassion, empathy, and in a non-judgmental way, as well as stay up-to-date with the most effective treatment interventions. With over 20 years of experience, have successfully treated people with low self-esteem, assertiveness difficulties, loss/grief, guilt, eating disorders, emotional eating, binge-eating, anxiety, panic, life transitions, divorce/separation, obsessive thinking, relationship struggles, "quarter-life crisis," and depression.

I believe real change is possible. I feel it is an honor and a privilege to be a change agent. I am a guide in assisting my clients to become their best, most authentic selves possible. The hardest part is taking that first step. Be brave and take that step - you can do hard things - this is the only way to grow and change.

Accepting new clients: morning, afternoon, and evening appointments! Just like you, I understand the challenges of balancing life’s responsibilities with mental health & well being. My true passion is helping others navigate their own journeys to mental and holistic health. I believe that life’s early experiences and major life events influence the ways we live and relate to others in the present. I am licensed in Connecticut in Florida.

Are you struggling with relationships, with being misunderstood? Is life leaving you feeling anxious, depressed, confused, overwhelmed, or scared? Are you ready to experience the best version of yourself? Are you interested in discovering new ways of seeing and experiencing yourself? In therapy I offer you a safe space to both heal from the past and grow into the future.

"Why do we fall? So we can learn to pick ourselves up". Life is a journey with many hurdles and potholes, but these challenges are also tremendous learning and growing opportunities. I support people with a wide range of challenges and have witnessed amazing transformations.
