Shelbie Michaels

I’ve been helping people as a therapist for 18 years. I specialize in working with children, teens,and parents. I see kids ages 10 and up, as well as adults and families. Many of the people I work with are going through tough times, like trauma, PTSD, anxiety, grief, or loss. I also support families who are dealing with high-conflict custody or parental alienation. My goal is to create a safe, caring space where you feel heard, understood, and supported as we work together toward healing.

I use a mix of different therapy approaches to best fit each person and their needs. I look at the whole picture—mind, body, and emotions—when working with someone. I have a strong memory, which helps me notice patterns and bring them up in a helpful way, so we can understand what’s going on and process healing. Some of the tools I use include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, TBRI (Trust-Based Relational Intervention), and other methods that support growth and change.

It can be really hard to find the strength to move forward, especially during tough times. But you don’t have to go through it alone. I’m here to walk with you through life’s challenges and big changes. Together, we can help you feel more confident, stronger, and ready to reach for new goals and dreams.
