Getting to know Shelly Hughes

I offer a trauma-informed, collaborative approach to therapy for children, teens, and adults navigating anxiety, trauma, emotional regulation, and life transitions. My work integrates EMDR, somatic therapy, play therapy, and evidence-based practices like CBT and DBT, always tailored to the individual rather than a one-size-fits-all model. My approach My approach to treatment is trauma-informed, relational, and individualized. I focus on creating a safe, trusting therapeutic relationship while tailoring interventions to each client’s developmental level, needs, and goals. I integrate EMDR, somatic therapy, play therapy, sand tray, and evidence-based approaches such as CBT and DBT. My focus I work with children, adolescents, and adults experiencing anxiety, trauma, emotional regulation difficulties, and challenges related to relationships or life transitions. Many of my clients feel overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected and are seeking both understanding and practical tools for change. My communication style My communication style is warm, grounded, and direct. I prioritize clarity, collaboration, and honesty while maintaining a supportive and nonjudgmental tone. I offer gentle challenges when helpful and check in regularly to ensure clients feel understood, respected, and aligned with the work we’re doing. My journey to mental healthcare My journey to becoming a provider grew from a desire to support individuals and families through meaningful, compassionate care during challenging seasons of life. My goals for you I help clients reach their goals by collaborating with them to identify what feels most important and meaningful, then breaking those goals into realistic, manageable steps. We focus on building insight, strengthening emotional regulation, and developing practical skills that can be used outside of session.
