Shelly Gutensohn

I’m Shelly Gutensohn, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) and Certified Correctional Health Professional (CCHP) with over a decade of experience in mental health therapy, education, and consultation. I specialize in EMDR therapy, trauma, anxiety, depression, and the unique challenges faced by individuals impacted by the justice system, technology addiction, and special needs. My practice is rooted in empathy, social justice, and a commitment to empowering individuals and communities.

I believe in creating a safe, nonjudgmental space where clients feel heard, understood, and supported. Whether you’re dealing with past trauma, overwhelming emotions, or life transitions, I’m here to walk alongside you with expertise, compassion, and unwavering support.

My approach is client-centered, trauma-informed, and tailored to your unique needs. I blend evidence-based modalities like EMDR therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) to help you process past experiences, develop coping strategies, and align your actions with your values.

I also incorporate mindfulness-based techniques and strength-based approaches to help you build resilience and self-awareness. My goal is to empower you to uncover your innate strengths, heal from past wounds, and create meaningful change in your life.

In our sessions, you can expect to gain clarity, coping skills, and a deeper understanding of yourself. Together, we’ll work on identifying patterns, processing past traumas, and developing tools to manage stress, anxiety, and emotional challenges. My goal is to help you feel more empowered, resilient, and aligned with your values.

Whether you’re navigating trauma, relationship issues, or life transitions, I’ll provide a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can explore your emotions and work toward the future you envision. You’ll leave sessions with practical strategies, a renewed sense of hope, and the confidence to create meaningful change in your life.
