High school can be a very difficult time in life. There is intense pressure and a pandemic that has made it even harder. Anxiety about friends and friend groups, frustration with teachers, poor self-esteem, feeling angry/ upset, or lonely most of the time can make relationships with family and going to school feel really hard. If you are struggling at this time in your life, please call me.

I don’t feel heard. I don’t feel seen. I am exhausted. I can’t take a break. I feel like everyone is relying on me. I’m just tired. Does this sound familiar? Perhaps, this is you. If you're here, you're probably searching for something to be different in your life or your loved one's life. You may not know exactly where to go for help, who the best person would be to talk to, or what to expect from therapy. These are valid questions and concerns. I want to assure you...you are in the right place. You don't have to navigate this alone.

If you're a woman who is looking for holistic healing from trauma, let's work together to find the root cause of your discomfort and dysregulation and co-create a space for overall stability. You might have tried therapy in the past with little resolution of distress or sustainable improvement. Or you walked away not feeling truly heard, were only scratching the surface and weren't being honest with yourself about what was really needing to be addressed. You notice ongoing triggers and your body is telling you something doesn't feel right. Ultimately, you crave compassionate connection with your authentic self and to truly heal.

Having worked for several years in both residential and outpatient settings, I have seen firsthand the impact of pain and suffering. Through non-judgmental, affirming and confidential therapy, I help both adults and teens take achievable steps towards wellness and growth. I work with individuals and couples of all backgrounds and identities. Some areas I specialize in are men's issues, relationship issues, anxiety and depression, emotional regulation and mood disorders, gender and sexuality, LGBTQ+ identity, life transitions, faith, spirituality and trauma recovery.

Hello Everyone! My name is Shelby Quilling! I work primarily with children and teenagers, as well as any age adult that has experienced childhood or complex trauma. To me, trauma can mean any event that has caused disruption to your daily life/functioning. My goal is to help those who have been through challenging experiences and who have a desire to work through these experiences. This may be seen as but is not limited to relationship conflicts, spacing/zoning out, anxiety/depressive symptoms, at-risk behaviors, flashbacks/nightmares, difficulties managing emotions, or troubles with basic functioning such as eating/sleeping.
