Outwardly it may seem that you have everything together. Yet inside, you're experiencing a persistent undercurrent of sadness, loneliness, or self-doubt. Despite how far you’ve come, you still don’t feel good enough. You don’t feel as close to others as you yearn to be. Your strong sense of what you “should be” feeling or doing makes it hard for you to connect with your actual emotions, desires, and needs, leaving you feeling stuck, numb, or confused. No matter how hard you try, you can’t seem to obtain the security or satisfaction you seek.

Hi, I'm Dr Shelly Hanlon. I'm a licensed and board certified clinician with over 30 years of experience. My approach to practicing psychotherapy is to first work collaboratively with you, on identifying and harnessing your innate strengths, and talents. Then together, we will work in a safe and comfortable setting to develop strategies and "life hacks," that will ensure therapeutic change and personal growth. By analyzing existing patterns, within the context of one's own life experience, we will develop a behavioral approach that will result in a greater sense of empowerment and the opportunity for life long success.

Clients who work best with me tend to yearn awakening and change. I welcome the challenge to help clients connect with higher versions of themselves. Trauma, difficult emotions, relationships and the stress of life often lead to feeling stuck, feeling out of control of yourself, your emotions and reactions. My goal is to show you that there is a better way. A way to live with intention and purpose, guided by the best version of you!

When confronted with difficult experiences and challenges in life, we can feel stuck. I believe that everyone is capable of growth and knowing what is best for themselves. However, we sometimes need help to see the barriers and how to overcome them. Therapy is a place to feel safe and encouraged while exploring the most vulnerable parts of our experience. I conceptualize problems from primarily a cognitive-behavioral lens, meaning I believe that we can develop distorted beliefs about ourselves, others, and the world that negatively impact our emotions and behaviors.
