As a social worker, I follow a strict code of ethics which means putting the client's needs and wellbeing above all else. I help clients to discover their full potential as well as overcome any trauma or barriers that have been keeping them down. I believe ultimately that therapy can be beneficial for everyone and that there doesn't have to be something "wrong" with anyone to seek help. I worked with a variety of clients including teens, young children, families, couples, individuals, veterans, and court-ordered clients.

My name is Shelby Nielson, and I am a licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor. The approach that I take in therapy is to look at my clients from a strengths-based perspective. My focus is to work with people and enable them to be able to find the best versions of themselves. The first step I take in therapy is to engage a client from a person-centered approach to enable a strong therapeutic relationship. In building this kind of rapport with individuals we then can explore the effective theoretical approaches and techniques that can work for them.

As a therapist, my goal is to help individuals and couples manage anxiety, depression, and life’s challenges. I empower clients to develop tools that promote emotional well-being and self-compassion. My approach integrates Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy, which helps clients explore the root causes of their struggles, heal inner conflict, and build healthier relationships. IFS fosters self-awareness, emotional resilience, and personal growth.

I strongly believe in the facet of the human spirit which is indomitable. This quality traverses culture and ethnicity, and so often plays a major role in recovery. The concept of radical acceptance invites individuals to embrace a regret of the past and fear of the future as part of the human experience while discovering what they truly value as they achieve treatment goals working toward sustainable mental health. As individuals learn to accept the fear that accompanies risk, the journey towards healing is a remarkable one to witness and, for me, is the true payoff as a therapist.

Throughout our lives we all face storms of many kinds. Often, we don’t even realize we’re in a storm or that the storm is over. My role as your therapist is help you travel through those storms and come out the other side different than who you were before. I believe that everyone is capable of change and healing, and my approach to therapy stems from that belief. I like to work from several approaches while using a variety of evidence-based modalities to fit your specific needs.

My approach is an affirmative space. I help many navigate the difficult journey of their faith crises, dismantling toxic systems in their lives and finding the true authority within themselves. I truly believe that everything we need is already within us. This is a very hard time to navigate and the universe is calling us to heal. I meet clients where they are at to work on their goals. I have special trainings and certifications with Brainspotting a brain based trauma approach; working with children through play therapy, couples therapy & LGBTQ+ relationships and issues. You deserve a supportive space to manage life.

Working through Trauma is an incredibly personal and courageous journey, one that feels like a battle against both invisible wounds and the weight of the past. It’s a slow and painful process, filled with moments of doubt, fear, and heartbreak. But there’s something undeniably powerful about each step forward, no matter how small. It's in the moments when you choose to face the darkness that you begin to reclaim your power and your peace. Healing doesn’t mean forgetting—it means finding strength in the scars and learning that you are more than your pain. Through the struggle, you rediscover hope, resilience, and joy once again.

You made a mistake this morning. It was small, but you can’t get it out of your head. You keep thinking about it. You feel like your thoughts are a runaway train and you can’t stop them. You try to consider what you could have done differently, and yet it’s in the past. It's so hard not to criticize your actions. You start to question other choices you’ve made. Your mind hurts, your stomach hurts, your body hurts. You feel exhausted; it's only been an hour.

You’ve recently experienced a loss that has been weighing heavily on you. It feels like things will never be the same, as if happiness and fulfillment are a distant memory. Whether it's the death of a loved one, the end of a relationship, or the loss of a job, grief can consume you, making it hard to imagine life beyond the pain. There’s an overwhelming lack of focus and an inability to eat or sleep. You’re haunted by memories that once brought you happiness. Family and friends talk to you, but you can’t hear them. It feels like you no longer have a purpose and you’re convinced that things will never feel normal again.
