Getting to know Christine Shelton-Kerr

Have you ever felt like you understand why you feel the way you do, but nothing actually changes? Many people I work with are insightful, self-aware, and motivated, yet still feel stuck. When insight alone hasn’t been enough, therapy can start to feel frustrating or pointless. As a young adult, I sought out different therapists as I transitioned through different stages of adulthood. Often I would walk away frustrated because I felt many of those therapists only managed the surface of my problems and didn't help me develop any real insight into my behavior or the underlying feelings driving my behavior. When I became a therapist I devoted myself to becoming one that would ACTUALLY be helpful for my clients. In short, I wanted to be a therapist that didn't suck. I feel I have reached that goal and I have a genuine desire to use my skills to help others. As your therapist, I am committed to helping you achieve your goals, whatever they may be. I specialize in working with adults who have tried therapy before but continue to struggle with anxiety, depression, relationship patterns, shame, or emotional overwhelm. My approach focuses on helping you move beyond thinking about your emotions to actually experiencing and processing them in a way that creates real, lasting change. By paying attention to what’s happening in both your mind and body, we can get to the root of what keeps repeating and interrupt those patterns at their source. I bring over 18 years of clinical experience working with a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship and attachment issues, addictions, grief and loss, chronic stress, and life transitions. I use an integrative, experiential approach grounded in Intensive Short-Term Dynamic Psychotherapy (ISTDP), alongside elements of other evidence-based modalities, to help clients understand how emotions, defenses, and anxiety interact and how to loosen what’s been holding them back.
