I'm Shelly Stover a therapist practicing in the state of California. My therapeutic approach is holistic and psychodynamic exploring all the factors that might be blocking you from having a fulfilling life. I incorporate mindful and somatic exercises that teach you to decipher your body's messages so you can learn how to trust yourself.

Are you feeling lost and overwhelmed because of a major life transition? Are you exhausted by every day demands? Whether you're stepping into parenthood, navigating a career shift, or building the foundations of a new relationship, I offer a compassionate space to help you on your journey towards feeling safety and security in yourself. I love working with creative professionals, new parents, career transitioners, and couples. I also support those grappling with loss and grief, as well as people interested in exploring their sexual intimacy in a nonjudgemental space. Before working as a therapist I was a doula and childbirth educator and I’m passionate about how big life changes can impact one’s identity and relationships.

If you are feeling burnt out, struggling with self-worth, or wishing you had more support, I get it. Let's identify coping strategies that might not be serving you and build awareness of your strengths to empower you. I customize my approach with each client to follow their personal goals. You are the expert of your healing. If you're ready to build a life with more intention and security, let's talk. I’m looking forward to meeting you!
