Getting to know Shelby Pate

Shelby is a calm, curious, and compassionate clinician who believes meaningful therapy begins when people finally have a place to tell the stories they've been carrying alone. She works with children, teens, young adults, and adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma and PTSD, burnout, adoption, identity development, family and relationship dynamics, spirituality, and major life transitions. Her approach is integrative and holistic, drawing from CBT, DBT, ACT, mindfulness, family systems, psychodynamic work, and creative approaches. Shelby welcomes the whole person into therapy—including the messy feelings, complicated thoughts, awkward moments, and uncertainty—and helps clients make sense of the smaller pieces within their bigger picture. Outside of sessions, Shelby loves getting lost in a good book, discovering places that make the city feel a little smaller, and finding ways to make ordinary days feel special with the people she loves. She brings that same curiosity and appreciation for connection into her work, approaching clients' different backgrounds and experiences with cultural humility rather than assumptions. With Shelby, clients don't need to find the right words before beginning; they can simply start wherever they are. Shelby Pate has a Master’s in Psychology. Shelby Pate is a Mental Health Counselor – Limited Permit, MHC-LP #18-P141972-01 at Cerebral. She is supervised by Kristine King, Licensed Mental Health Counselor, LMHC #013985, in New York. Shelby loves getting lost in a good book, discovering places that make the city feel a little smaller, and making ordinary days feel special with the people she loves.
