I offer insight and empathy through the difficult aspects of life. Looking at relational patterns and emotional needs, I hold a non-judgmental and safe container. My manner is gentle yet direct, meeting my clients where they are at and offering assistance in finding their own path to a life less burdened by struggle and more attuned to their authentic self. My approach is steeped in the wisdom of Depth Psychology, Buddhist Psychology, Psychodynamics, and psychedelic-assisted therapy. I am LGBTQ+ allied and lead with trauma informed practices.

I am a licensed psychologist with over 10 years of experience who approaches therapy with warmth, compassion, and creativity. I help adults, couples, and teens identify maladaptive patterns that hinder living life in more authentic and purposeful ways. My therapeutic approach is collaborative and strength-based at its core, and therapeutic techniques used in therapy stem from an integrative, mind-body approach. I’m well-versed in utilizing a broad range of empirically-informed interventions and psychological assessments to treat the myriad complexities that come with our collectively shared human experiences.

Whether you are dealing with anxiety, depression, loss, trauma, major life transitions, or relationship difficulties, and you are ready to regain your power and capacity for choice, we can work together in a safe, non-judgmental space. I am multicultural and bilingual, I work with clients from diverse backgrounds, with a wide range of life experiences. I am a depth-trained psychotherapist. I introduce a psychodynamic approach including mind, body and soul/spirit in treatment. The therapeutic work leads to exploration, promotes insight and awareness, and stimulates psychological growth, emotional healing, and spiritual transformation

I believe in the human capacity to heal, accept, love, and grow from our life experiences. Our most treasured beliefs and relationships help us through the pain and difficult times in life. I believe there is no point so low from which we cannot only recover, but gain wisdom and strength as well. Therefore, I focus my treatment style on emotional and character growth, rather than simple symptom reduction.

Connecting with yourself can bring a greater calm and balance to your life. I provide a warm presence to help you nourish, strengthen and restore yourself to emotional, physical and spiritual wellness.

Hi, my name is Shelly Lopeman. I have a passion for therapy and what it can do for a person and their healing. My philosophy is that each one of us has a purpose and we are striving to achieve many of the same basic needs which are to be loved, to be accepted, to gain self-efficacy, and to realize that we have the ability to heal within.

Few of us make it through childhood without having experienced trauma of one form or another. Often times, the adaptations that we make in order to best survive early life challenges, lead to patterns of belief and action which get in the way of us finding freedom, happiness, and fulfillment as adolescents and adults. Every person deserves an opportunity to grow to their greatest potential. Therapy is a facilitated process of increasing awareness of obstacles to growth and supporting transformation.

The decision to seek help is the first step in creating the life you have always envisioned. Although difficult and often overwhelming, seeking support for the complexity of life's issues has the power to change your life for the better. My goal is to help you achieve your personal goals and create a life that is worth celebrating. Collaboratively, we will work to uncover unhealthy patterns and explore deep rooted issues that may be preventing you from experiencing a more fulfilling, peaceful, and meaningful life.

Balance, relief, peace, a greater understanding in relationships, or whatever appears to be “in the way” of achieving a better way of living life are all attainable. Life can be confusing and at times difficult to know how to navigate ourselves because of all that we are dealing with on a daily basis. Getting help to sort it out, removing obstacles, and gaining knowledge about our emotions are essential to wellness. Together we will collaborate, explore, develop trust, and learn how to make the changes you are desiring.

I am a passionate nature enthusiast and licensed Associate Marriage and Family Therapist (AMFT). I enjoy working with individuals, couples, and families who are interested in furthering their development and reaching a deeper understanding of their own, authentic being. I believe that we are more than our emotions and behaviors–we are complex people that require introspection and the honor of a unique and individualized path to healing. Through the exploration of stories and patterns (both current and past), I assist clients in coming into a deeper understanding and ease with the self.

In my work with adults, I aim to support you in developing a more wholesome connection to yourself, and a more meaningful awareness within your relationships. I feel passionate about the value of self-exploration, and learning to identify the areas in which you are searching for growth and healing. For couples and parents, I offer help in strengthening relationships by gaining a deeper understanding of each other’s experience, improving communication, mending wounds, and overcoming obstacles that stand in the way of your desired closeness.
