Seeking Therapy Series

How do I find the right therapist? I get that question a lot--especially from Latter-day Saints, who aren't sure how to find a therapist who will respect their beliefs while helping them improve their mental health. In this free 20-minute video, I walk you through the process of finding the right therapist for you.
Value Tree
In working with clients, I've come to believe that discovering our personal values is a crucial part of achieving mental and emotional well-being. Using the image of a tree, this handout can help you identify and understand your values, so that you can live your life with purpose and meaning.
Gratitude Workbook
Are you looking for a way to make gratitude a part of your life? In my free workbook, I will lead you through prompts that can help you discover the grace in gratitude and the overall well-being that can come from deepening your gratitude practice.

Classes to Encourage Personal Growth and Potential
Perfectionism
When we start to understand the many facets of perfectionism, we can begin making the necessary changes to bring joy back into our lives.

Emotional Literacy
and Health
Contrary to popular belief, we can't cherry pick our emotions. When we blunt our difficult feelings, such as sadness, we're also numbing our desireable emotions, including joy. Instead, we can focus on emotional regulation and learn to treat all emotional experiences with compassion and safety.

Relational Communication
Understanding another and being understood is one of the greatest gifts we can offer to ourselves and others. This class can help you foster both.

WHAT PEOPLE SAY
In this two-part series, I go beyond journaling exercises and gratitude strategies to help you create a relationship with gratitude that is unique to you.
​
These classes were professionally presented, informative, and thought provoking. I learned how to recognize and label my emotions along with how to manage stress. Highly recommended!
E.D.
I attended these classes and gained so much insight about myself and how I can better deal with others. Shelly's educational background and spiritual commitment to the gospel qualify her to eliminate many myths, both in the church and in society, about mental and emotional health.
D.L.
Shelly's classes were full of information. Her power points and handouts were helpful additions. Each topic was relevant for many people who could relate to her classes for themselves or someone they knew.

As a therapist, one of my greatest joys is helping people overcome the barriers that have kept them stuck. My goal for each client is empowerment as they discover their own strengths. My private practice, the classes I teach, and my writings reflect that aspiration.
