Introduction

Shelly is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, U.S. Navy Veteran, certified Warrior Goddess Training Facilitator, Bootstrap Stress Management Facilitator, Yoga Teacher, certified Mental Health Integrative Medicine Provider, certified Vaginal Steam facilitator, Ayurvedic Wellness Coach, and Reiki Practitioner. Shelly has been working in the mental health field for over 22 years, starting her career in mental health as a Psychiatric Technician in the U.S. Navy. Shelly worked in Corrections for seven years within behavioral health as a Corrections Officer and Substance Abuse Counselor. Shelly worked for the Veteran's Administration for nine years as a Therapist, and conjointly with DOD for one year in the IDES program. Shelly is trained to work with teens, adults and couples suffering with trauma, anxiety, depression, stress and a variety of other mental health concerns for counseling. Shelly also provides Ayurvedic Wellness Coaching, Vaginal Steam Facilitation, Reiki, teaches Yoga classes, provides individual Yoga sessions; and is specifically trained in Cognitive Processing Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Problem Solving Therapy, and Mindfulness. Shelly completed Ayurvedic Wellness Coaching through Shakti School, her 200-hour Yoga Teacher certification with Yogaia Yoga School in Louisville, and is currently working on her 300-hour Yoga Teacher certification through Yoga Baum. “I teach Hatha yoga that most levels can enjoy and have been practicing yoga on/off since high school. Working in mental health has provided me an opportunity to examine the human condition. I believe it is important to combine body work with mental health therapy through a variety of modalities. There are many pieces to the bigger picture. Providing an atmosphere that encompasses something for everyone to progress in their individual journey to wellbeing has been my dream and guiding post. Yoga and Reiki have been ways for me to bridge the gap between mental health and physical well-being as a therapist and as a trauma survivor. I believe it is important to listen to what our bodies tell us and to never push oneself beyond your edges. While our services do not offer a cure, they are a means to serenity and peace of body, mind and spirit.”
