Shayna Wellington - LMFT-A
Life can feel overwhelming when emotions, relationships, expectations, or difficult experiences make it harder to feel grounded, connected, or like yourself. I believe therapy can provide a space to better understand what you’re experiencing, reconnect with your strengths, and create meaningful change that feels authentic and sustainable.
My approach is warm, collaborative, nonjudgmental, and strengths-based. I strive to understand each person within the context of their relationships, culture, identity, development, and unique life story. Together, we’ll explore the experiences and patterns that may be shaping the present while identifying practical ways to move toward greater flexibility, connection, and well-being.
For many people, this can also mean examining the expectations or stories they have carried about who they are “supposed” to be and creating more space to discover who they genuinely are. My approach integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Narrative Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, mindfulness, and systemic family therapy. Depending on your needs and age, our work may include values exploration, emotional regulation, perspective-taking, strengthening relationships, increasing psychological flexibility, and developing practical tools for navigating life’s challenges.
I work with children, adults, couples, and families experiencing anxiety, depression, ADHD, relationship challenges, life transitions, emotional or behavioral concerns, and issues related to identity and self-worth. I welcome clients of all backgrounds, identities, spiritual traditions, sexual orientations, and family structures.
My goal is to create a space where you feel genuinely heard, understood, appropriately challenged, and supported. Whether therapy involves helping a child better understand and express their emotions, supporting a family through difficult dynamics, or helping an adult reconnect with their values and sense of self, I believe meaningful change begins with feeling safe enough to be curious about who you are and what you need.
Healing is not always about becoming someone new. Often, it is about developing a deeper understanding of yourself and finding a way forward that feels more authentically your own.
