SHELBY MCCLIGGOT

Therapist • Trauma-Recovery Specialist • Empowerment Advocate

For more than ten years I have helped clients move from surviving to thriving. Whether you are wrestling with depression, processing the impact of domestic violence, or healing from sexual assault, my work centers on compassionate, culturally attuned care. Using evidence‑based methods -- including Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) -- I tailor every session to your story so you feel heard, respected, and actively supported.

My Counseling Philosophy

Therapy is most powerful when it adapts to the person in front of me, not the other way around. I draw from trauma‑informed frameworks, cognitive‑behavioral techniques, and somatic grounding skills, layering them with EMDR to target the nervous‑system imprint of painful memories. Our goal is to reduce distress, rebuild self‑trust, and expand the choices available in your daily life.

Areas of Focus

Depression and mood regulation
Post-traumatic stress and complex trauma
Recovery from domestic violence or sexual assault
Anxiety, panic, and chronic stress
Grief, loss, and life transitions
Building resilience and self-empowerment for clients of diverse cultural backgrounds

What Working Together Looks Like

Sessions feel like a partnership: we set intentions, assess current stressors, and choose the tools that fit best -- maybe an EMDR reprocessing set, a grounding breath exercise, or a gentle cognitive reframing practice. You will leave each appointment with a clearer understanding of how past experiences shape present reactions, plus concrete strategies to practice between visits. Over time, these skills translate into calmer moods, healthier boundaries, and a renewed sense of agency.
