Getting to know Shelly Simpson

Hi there, I'm Shelly! I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with master’s degrees in Social Work and Clinical Counseling and over 20 years of experience. I primarily work with adults and also welcome teens, providing a warm, down-to-earth space where you can feel heard, supported, and comfortable being yourself. My focus I primarily work with adults and also welcome teens. I support clients experiencing anxiety, depression, stress, relationship concerns, grief, life transitions, trauma, and those times when life feels overwhelming, or you find yourself feeling stuck. Together, we’ll focus on what matters most to you and develop strategies to achieve your goals. My approach I believe therapy works best when it is collaborative, supportive, and tailored to you. I draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR). I use these approaches based on your individual needs to help you better understand yourself better. My communication style I’m warm, genuine, conversational, and supportive. I listen carefully, but I also believe therapy should be interactive. I’ll ask questions, offer thoughtful and honest feedback, and help you consider situations from different perspectives. I provide a nonjudgmental space where you can be yourself. My journey to mental healthcare My career in social work began over 20 years ago, working with individuals and families facing complex challenges, including addiction, abuse, family difficulties, and major life transitions. Those experiences gave me a deep appreciation for the strength and resilience people can discover even during very difficult times. My goals for you We’ll identify goals that feel meaningful and realistic for your life and break them into manageable steps. Along the way, we’ll regularly talk about what’s working, what isn’t, and how your needs or priorities may be changing.
