Getting to know Kristie Shelbia
Welcome - I’m Glad You Are Here. I’m passionate about helping individuals and families navigate life’s challenges, heal from emotional wounds, and rediscover their inner strength.
My approach
My approach to therapy is collaborative, compassionate, and rooted in evidence-based practices. I view each client as the expert of their own life, and together, we work to identify strengths, uncover barriers, and create practical strategies for healing and growth.
My focus
At my practice, I offer a safe, judgment-free space where you can unpack your story, gain clarity, and begin your journey toward growth and healing. I believe in the power of transformation- and that through intentional work, it’s possible to renew your mind, restore your peace, and reshape your future. Whether navigating anxiety, grief, relationship challenges, or simply looking to feel more yourself again, I’d be honored to support you.
My communication style
In our sessions, I create a safe, supportive, and respectful space where you can speak openly without fear of judgment. I believe that clear and compassionate communication is essential to the therapeutic process. I listen attentively to your concerns, reflect back what I hear to ensure understanding, and provide feedback in a way that is honest yet encouraging.
My journey to mental healthcare
My path to becoming a therapist has been shaped by both professional experiences and a deep commitment to helping others. For more than 15 years, I have worked in a variety of settings - supporting youth, families, and individuals facing challenges such as trauma, stress, and life transitions. Each step along the way reinforced the belief that people have the strength within them to heal, grow, and thrive when given the right support. Becoming a provider allows me to do the work that is most meaningful to me: creating a safe, supportive space where clients feel heard, valued, and equipped to reach their goals.
