Getting to know Shelbra Thorla

Welcome! You might feel a lot of different ways about starting therapy, and I'm here to help! I am a compassionate, client-centered therapist dedicated to helping individuals navigate many different issues. My focus is on helping you reach your goals. My approach My treatment philosophy is based on partnering with my clients in identifying and addressing their needs in ways that are relevant to them. I encourage a dialogue in which I meet the client wherever they might be emotionally and spiritually, and then together, we explore the issues that led them to therapy. My job is to create a space in which my client feels safe to say things they may be afraid to say to others and to feel emotions that seem overwhelming elsewhere. In partnering with my client, I can provide the support they want, be it someone who just non-judgmentally listens without feedback, or offering hands-on suggestions and teaching coping skills. With my experience and training, I can tailor my approach individually to each client. People come into therapy for lots of reasons. Often, they may come for one issue and end up focusing on something else. I can work with you at whatever pace and in whatever way seems most beneficial to you. Working together, we can create the space and support you need to reach your goals. My focus Have you been struggling with anxious thoughts and self-doubt? Going through difficult life transitions or trying to make sense of things that happened in the past? I work with young and older adults who are managing many different issues, often all at once. Whether you’re working through trauma, building coping skills, or exploring your personal goals, I’ll work with you to create a growth plan that feels empowering and achievable.”
