Great to meet you!

My name is Dr. Diona Shelton and I am a licensed clinical social worker with approximately 20 years of experience working with children and adolescents on a wide array of issues. I enjoy working with adults and provide services virtually for ages 18 and up. I specialize in treating anxiety, depression, trauma/ PTSD, mood disorders, stress management, and enjoy working with individuals who are experiencing life transitions.

My approach to therapy

I approach therapy with a warm and open-minded approach and seek to create an environment in which you feel comfortable. I use a variety of modalities in my work and tailor treatment to your specific needs.

What you can expect from me

I view therapy as a partnership and work with my clients to set mutually agreeable goals they would like to achieve.


The decision to seek therapy can be an overwhelming one. I am honored that you have chosen me to help guide you through this journey of self-discovery and enlightenment.
