Whether by video or in the outdoors it's an honor to accompany individuals, couples, and families on journeys of growth and discovery through therapy. I am guide in the process, you are the expert of yourself and your experience. If you're not feeling expert, my approach draws out individuals' inner wisdom, and confidence. Working with the mind-body connection, trauma resolution, mindfulness, and the natural world, we are able to co-create new possibilities for living a more enlivened and fulfilling life. Neuroscience and attachment theory highly inform my work and I am ever expanding my knowledge and skill in order to best serve.

I am a passionate person in recovery committed to creating health & wellness for individuals & families. As a licensed Substance Abuse Counselor, Trauma Therapist, Wellness Consultant, Family Specialist, Acupuncturist & Energy Healer, I use my expertise & personal experience to create a comfortable space to process what can be the uncomfortable parts of life. I am trained thoroughly in brain chemistry & the nervous systems, & I am passionate about empowering people to both understand & recreate their physiological responses. I also use holistic approaches to heal the mind & body simultaneously - I’m here to support your journey!

As a relational therapist, I imagine you're here to transform the conflicts & hurt in your relationship/s into safe and secure spaces - spaces that offer true intimacy and a sense of meaning. I imagine you want a therapist who accesses intuition and asks pointed questions to get to the depth and heart of the matter; one who is sensitive, yet courageous and direct. In my practice, I provide therapy to intimate partnerships, adult families, and individuals. I help you fiercely and gently engage discomfort, access emotional truths, voice needs, navigate difference, repair ruptures, and move toward renewed and deepened connection.

I believe that there is great power in developing a deeper understanding of who you are, your strengths and weakness, and how your brain functions and adapts-and applying this information to develop ways to manage and communicate your emotions and needs to the important people in your life. I have been working with kids, teens, adults and families for the last 15 years, and find it very meaningful and rewarding. I specialize in anxiety, depression, attachment and neurodevelopmental disorders, using cognitive-behavioral, interpersonal, solution-oriented and family systems based approaches.

Being human is complex and sometimes painful. With a foundation of trauma-sensitive mindfulness, I collaboratively create a client-centered space for individuals and couples to uncover obstacles that block aliveness, connection, safety, and joy. With an awake heart, clarity, and nonjudgmental presence, I help clients find perspective, make meaning of difficulties, access innate wisdom, and gain skills to emerge into freedom. From queer lineages and Celtic ancestry, I am a queer, gender-variant-femme, poet and Buddhist practitioner who derives inspiration and purpose from the forces of nature, meditation, and relationships.

I provide a therapeutic space where your healing journey is not just a possibility, but a reality. As a Certified EMDR therapist, my focus is on providing therapy for folks who reside in Arizona, California, Colorado, and Florida to navigate the complexities of anxiety and trauma rooted in aspects such as parenting dynamics, family history, and work-related burnout and stress. My approach to therapy diverges from conventional talk therapy methods. EMDR emphasizes the interconnectedness of mind and body. Additionally, I integrate "parts work" into my practice and draw from an Internal Family Systems (IFS) informed lens.

Creating a safe environment is where I begin. I see therapy as a collaborative process that can lead you toward a greater capacity for self-awareness, trust, clarity, a sense of meaning and freedom. Life gives us surprising obstacles, which can make us feel stuck, depressed, alone or scared. With therapeutic presence, creativity and guidance, we can change our relationship to obstacles and transform. Our darkest point may mark the moment we realize we want to change. I use yoga and creative writing in my practice, and have training in mindfulness/somatic approaches, gestalt therapy, family systems, DBT, & depth psychology.

Do you feel unsatisfied with your life? Whether it's past traumas or other complex factors that impacted you, most people looking for a therapist are seeking relief from the struggle and want to wake up to more joy, ease and self-acceptance. If you're searching it means some part of you knows it's possible to not only survive, but thrive and live an abundant life. With the right support and guidance you can feel in control of your life and attain your goals.

I am an open minded psychologist and meditation instructor specializing in couples, family and relationship therapy, individual therapy for anxiety, depression and life stressors for adults and children. I utilize an integrative approach including mindfulness and acceptance, family systems, cognitive-behavioral therapy, humanistic and narrative therapy in working with a wide range of clients and problems. I seek to meet clients where they are and understand their cultural contexts while helping them reach their goals. I am a kind, compassionate and motivating therapist that collaborates with clients to live their best life.

We all have a story to tell and I believe every person can benefit by sitting with someone and sharing their story, perspective, joy, and pain. I personally love to work with teens as they are discovering their story and the impact they want to have on the world. As well as for many adults our stories hold a significant amount of unresolved hurt and pain, I appreciate the honor of walking alongside people as they navigate their past, current, and future circumstances.

Throughout my time as a professional, I have grown to understand the significance surrounding connecting childhood learnings and patterns to problems currently arising within my client’s world. I believe we can't change our current situations if we don't know what is driving the behavior or thought process. Starting at the source and establishing patterns and connections is vital in healing, growing, and creating new behaviors and ways of thinking. I often utilize DBT, CBT, attachment theory, and family systems models within the therapy space.

Schedule instantly through my website link in my bio! Hi, I’m Shevy! I am honored and privileged to be a Marriage and Family Therapist Candidate. I love working with couples as they explore and redefine their relationships. Adults working through introspection and reflection is another population I enjoy working with. Through gentle depth work, I walk with my clients on the journey of self-awareness. Together we explore and discover each person’s unique beauty. Relationship therapy and trauma therapy are often the start to finding the place to thrive.

I work with children and adolescents (ages 7+), adults, and families. I specialize with treating depression, anxiety, and trauma. Major life changes such as attending a new school, divorce/separation, work-life struggles, health issues, or social concerns/bullying can greatly affect wellbeing. Such stressors can then be compounded when faced with a wide range of traumatic events. We will work together to express and explore any current struggles and restore balance to your life and relationships. There is no need to navigate these life, family, and emotional challenges alone. Reach out today for support!

We begin by exploring how you want your life to be better. You may be looking to restore a vitality or sense of yourself that has gone missing. You may be at the mercy of your emotions, unable to calm yourself or engage your rational thinking and this is wreaking havoc on yourself, your relationships and your work. You need some understanding and skills to bring balance back into your life. You may have a trauma history that is keeping you awake at night and interfering with your ability to function effectively. Your unique circumstances and goals inform the journey ahead.

Couples Counseling: Are you longing to reconnect with your partner and get back the closeness you once had? Is it hard to talk about issues without it turning into a conflict? Has your relationship been affected by some form of infidelity and now the two of you are struggling to repair your relationship? You may have tried traditional couples counseling and are looking for a more effective approach? I use Imago Relationship Therapy as the way I work with couples because I have found it to be the most effective form of couples therapy that I have come across in my 20 years as a couples counselor.

I am dedicated to providing a supportive, safe environment for clients to work on their own areas of concern. A relational model provides the context for this work, which is guided by each individual's needs. You can depend on my ability to offer warmth and compassion; respect your process; be educational and interactive; provide support and direction; and truly care. Clients report feeling better, having new insights and knowing they are supported while contemplating and effecting change in their lives. I am committed to assisting you on your journey.

What is challenging for you at this time? Are you struggling to adjust to current circumstances, unsure how to think about and plan for the future? Are relationships, work, finances, home, schooling, health, or ways of enjoying life adversely impacted? Could you use support in relating to whatever difficult emotions are arising? Would guidance in how to address difficult issues be helpful? Would you like to explore opportunities within the challenges? Are you ready to grow and to expand? Whatever your reasons for seeking therapy, I will offer you non-judgmental listening and skilled support.

My goal is to help you uncover your true potential and lead a life that is worth celebrating. While we can't change difficult situations of the past, we can work together to better understand and resolve challenges in your life. If you're looking for extra support and guidance through a challenging situation, improve your relationship, or you're just ready to move in a new direction in your life, I look forward to working with you.

Adolescence and early adulthood holds a special place in my heart, because it is such ripe ground for discovery, yet many young people get stuck along the journey. I have worked with young people for over 10 years, who have struggled with social-anxiety and shyness, addiction, anxiety and panic attacks, depression, grief and loss issues, trauma, school issues, and complex family issues. While all of these can be horrific for the individual and families involved, the underlying resiliency present in each of these young people and families is the foundation that we build from in the healing process.
