Family therapy and counseling in Bethlehem, PA

Hello! I’m Shel (he/she/they), a white genderfluid therapist working in a systemic lens of individual therapy. I am passionate about working with LGBTQ+ and people of the global majority. I have training in CPTSD-focused mindful psychodynamic therapy, IFS and working with people who use substances. My degree is in Marriage and Family Therapy, so I bring a relational perspective to individual therapy. I use compassion, warmth, and humor to create a non-judgmental and open space for healing. I believe through healing past trauma and building a connection to one’s intuition/wise mind and community, we can withstand hardship in the path of liberation and empowerment of all people.

For more than 30 years, I have been helping children, adults, and families navigate life’s challenges, heal from difficult experiences, and build stronger, healthier relationships. I am passionate about working with individuals who have experienced trauma, significant life stressors, anxiety, grief, relationship difficulties, and major life transitions.

I believe healing happens when people feel truly seen, heard, and understood. My goal is to create a safe, supportive environment where clients can explore their experiences, discover their strengths, and develop a greater sense of peace, resilience, and self-confidence.

I earned my Master of Social Work from Temple University and my Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from Catawba College. Throughout my career, I have remained committed to meeting each client where they are and helping them create meaningful, lasting change.

I am a therapist who genuinely loves this work and the people I get to do it with. I work with adults who are navigating big life changes, relationship shifts, and the kind of moments that make you stop and ask "who am I now?" My approach is flexible and collaborative, so we figure out together what you need and how to get there. I work fully virtually, so you can show up to sessions from wherever feels most comfortable for you.

I work with individuals navigating anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or adjusting to a new chapter, I aim to create a supportive space where you feel heard and understood.
