Individual adults (18+) who are committed to self exploration, challenging past patterns, and growth tend to enjoy my approach. My practice focuses on adults with symptoms of depression and/or anxiety that may stem from: adjusting to life changes–such as, going to college, career challenges, coming out, partnering/divorce, death of a loved one, mid-life crisis, retirement, empty nest;
relationship
conflicts–work or personal; media or social justice exhaustion; poor attachment to childhood caregivers; traumatic experiences; or having a marginalized identity (BIPOC, LGBTQIA+, women, immigrants, unhoused, etc.). Together we can rise!

Trauma Recovery Queen LLC

Trauma Recovery Queen LLC makes a firm commitment to offer expertise to people who are struggling after experiencing trauma to find ways to recover and improve overall function. Conditions of trauma experiences vary due to proximity, intensity, and frequency. Critical incident exposure is when natural coping mechanisms of the brain and body become overwhelmed and therefore revert to a potentially damaging stress state required for survival. Options under such duress become limited to fight, flee, or freeze responses. Melissa Shockman, MA has a master’s level degree from George Fox University in Marriage,

I practice therapy using a blend of theories including Attachment, Internal Family Systems, Emotion-Focused and Gottman
Couples
Therapy.
When there is a feeling of disconnect between yourself and the world or with those in your life, it can be lonely and confusing. We alI feel stuck in our life at times around repeating old patterns, managing painful emotions or having critical thoughts of self and others. Maybe you are experiencing depression, life transitions or anxious thoughts. I aim to help clients explore what is causing them distress and identify new ways to overcome those obstacles. If you find yourself engaging in similar patterns and struggling to find effective ways to cope with anxiety or daily stressors, therapy may be a courageous first step to relief.

With almost 30 years of experience counseling only clients with
relationship
issues I've learned a lot about how to help people work through a range of
relationship
issues.
Great relationships don't happen by accident. I can help you learn how to have one. Whether it is a
relationship
with yourself, your family, your boss or your significant other, they all have one thing in common. It's good communication. Communication is one of the top three problems in relationships. Over the years I've found that if you can handle good communication you can then handle almost anything. Why don't you let me know what your needs and goals are, then we can start there.

Working with
couples
, families and children who are journeying through tumultuous life circumstances is my passion.
Life circumstances can easily become overwhelming and scary for children as well as adults in the world we live in. Children may not have the relational experience or emotional skills needed to heal and begin to thrive. We adults find ourselves there at times as well, in need of support, new skills and character development in order to be the best versions of ourselves during challenging times. I'm passionate about helping you achieve more balance and growth.

I primarily use Emotionally Focused
Couples
Therapy (EFT) which is a highly researched and effective treatment focusing on the emotionaI bonds between partners.
When we have healthy relationships with those that are important to us, life tends to run more smoothly. When this is not the case our lives can feel out of control and we can become anxious, frustrated, angry or depressed.
I enjoy working with
couples
as they work to create and maintain healthy and fulfilling relationships. I also work with individuals as they struggle with many of life's concerns and difficulties. I always consider a clients family of origin experiences to discover possible connections in their way of dealing with difficulties in the present.

I believe that people seek counseling for a variety of reasons and when people are suffering from mental and or emotional pain, it can interfere with a persons overall wellbeing. Many times when a person is feeling and experiencing pain, this can make a person feel disconnected from others. I believe that when a person reaches out for help and support, this is the first step in the healing process. Through establishing and building a therapeutic
relationship
, based on congruence, unconditional positive regard, and empathetic understanding, I can help facilitate a place to foster healing, personal growth, change, and self discovery.

Does couples counseling work?
Research shows that couples counseling is effective; it can reduce relationship distress and improve emotional awareness, communication, empathy, intimacy, and overall relationship satisfaction. For example, emotionally focused therapy was found to be effective for about 75 percent of couples, and those benefits lasted at least two years.
When should a couple seek counseling?
Couples can benefit from counseling if they consistently struggle in their relationship. They may have lost the ability to communicate effectively, become entrenched in harmful patterns, begun to fight more than usual, broken the other’s trust, suffered from a mental or physical illness, or faced any number of other challenges. Many therapists offer free consultations, so if a couple isn’t sure whether therapy is necessary, asking directly can provide clarity.
How can I get my partner to go to couples therapy?
The decision to seek couples therapy is often driven by one partner, who then convinces the other to participate. When discussing the idea, the initiator should be direct and assertive. They can state the problems they see and explain how the relationship would benefit from therapy. In more serious cases, they can also explain how their relationship may suffer without making any changes or seeking professional help.
How does a couple prepare for couples counseling?
The anticipation of beginning couples counseling can be difficult—sometimes more difficult than the first session itself. Taking a few moments to reflect can allay those concerns: What are the current challenges? When and how did they begin? What do they want the relationship to look like in the future? Reflecting on these questions can help individuals or couples articulate their goals. Of course, the therapist will also ask questions and guide couples through the process.
