Getting to know Shelly Hendley

Hi there, I'm Shelly! I'm a licensed counselor serving CO/TX clients. I blend DBT, ERP, and trauma-informed care with 20+ years of cross-cultural life experience. I support anxiety, trauma, OCD, addiction recovery, and neurodivergent clients. Faith integration welcomed, never required. Your story meets compassion here. My focus I work with clients facing anxiety, trauma, OCD, and addiction recovery, offering DBT, ERP, and neurodivergent-affirming care for ADHD/autism. Having lived abroad two decades, I especially connect with cross-cultural transitions. Faith integration welcomed, never required — you're met with compassion, not judgment. My approach My approach is collaborative and practical — DBT skills paired with a relaxed, conversational style, not just talk. I also draw on ERP, trauma-informed care, and person-centered methods, adapting to fit you. With 20+ years of cross-cultural experience, I understand transitions deeply. Faith welcomed, never required. My communication style I bring a warm, relaxed, and conversational tone to sessions — collaborative rather than clinical. I listen closely, ask thoughtful questions, and offer honest feedback with genuine compassion. You'll never feel judged here. My goal is for you to leave each session feeling heard, equipped, and a little lighter. My journey to mental healthcare My path began in music therapy within psychiatric settings, which sparked a lifelong passion for healing. I then lived and worked internationally for over two decades, gaining a deep, personal understanding of cross-cultural transition. That journey shaped who I am as a counselor — compassionate, adaptable, and genuinely invested in your story.
