Shelbi Petrosius

My name is Shelbi Petrosius. I attended Northern Arizona University in Flagstaff and earned my Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling degree in 2019. I work primarily with adult women or women coming into adulthood. I additionally have experience counseling women through the pregnancy and postpartum period. I like to help women to find their self-worth, to set boundaries, and to create the life they've always wanted. My practice is named Aurelia Therapy because an Aurelia is a Chrysalis or the place where butterflies are formed. I hope to offer my clients a space to undergo their own metamorphosis.

I utilize an integrated, Rogerian person-centered therapeutic approach and combine cognitive behavior therapy, logotherapy (meaning making), mindfulness-based stress reduction, trauma processing, dialectical behavior therapy, emotion-focused therapy, and positive psychology techniques. Additionally, I offer faith-affirming counseling services.

Clients can expect warmth, compassion, understanding and tangible tools to take away from the counseling process. Clients can expect to process on a deep level, to challenge negative thoughts, and to make daily shifts to improve their mindset and mood.
