Shelly Thompson

With a compassionate approach and a wealth of experience, Shelly Thompson has been guiding individuals through their darkest moments since establishing her private practice in 2006. As a Licensed Professional Counselor Supervisor (LPC-S), Shelly specializes in helping clients navigate the complex landscapes of PTSD, trauma, depression, anxiety, and body image issues, among other challenges.

Shelly's journey in the field of mental health began long before 2006, with her experience in counseling-related settings laying a strong foundation for her current practice. This diverse background has equipped her with the tools to provide assistance and guidance across a wide spectrum of mental health concerns. Her expertise extends beyond individual therapy, as she also works with couples and families, addressing relationship struggles and family conflicts.

In 2008, Shelly achieved the distinction of becoming a Board Approved Licensed Professional Counselor Supervisor in the state of Texas. This accomplishment not only speaks to her expertise but also to her commitment to nurturing the next generation of therapists. In this capacity, she helps aspiring professionals hone their skills and develop into effective counselors.

Shelly's therapeutic approach is both comprehensive and tailored to each client's unique needs. She employs a range of techniques, with a particular emphasis on Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) Therapy. EMDR is an integrative psychotherapy approach that has been extensively researched and proven effective for PTSD and various other distressing experiences. Shelly offers both traditional EMDR sessions and intensive options, demonstrating her flexibility in addressing client needs.

At the core of Shelly's practice is a belief in the resilience of the human spirit. She often uses the metaphor of life as a journey, acknowledging that while we all start from the same point, our paths can lead us to unexpected and sometimes challenging places. Shelly sees her role as a guide, helping clients develop strategies to navigate out of these dark corners and back into the light of fulfillment and happiness.

Shelly Thompson's practice is more than just a service; it's a beacon of hope for those struggling with mental health issues.
