Getting to know Shelley Hamilton

I am a licensed clinical social worker with over 25 years of experience providing psychotherapy services to children, adolescents, and adults. I earned my Master's in Social Work from the University of Southern California. I work with clients who have experienced complex traumas, specializing in childhood abuse and neglect. Trauma is an emotional response to a deeply distressing or disturbing event that overwhelms an individual's ability to cope. Trauma, especially during childhood, can lead to troubling symptoms throughout adolescence and adulthood. It can adversely affect self-worth, the ability to maintain healthy relationships, and optimal functioning in school or work. This is where therapy can be beneficial. Trauma-focused psychotherapy can successfully interrupt the short- and long-term impact of trauma. I strive to create a safe, nurturing environment where clients can talk at a pace that is not overwhelming. I ensure clients develop the necessary skills to process difficult events as they move beyond trauma toward healing and well-being.
