Shelby Koshy, LCSW — Therapist in Arkansas

Hi there, I'm Shelby!

Welcome to therapy! My goal is to create a safe, collaborative space where you feel heard, empowered, and supported on your journey to healing. Let's use some humor coupled with new skills to get you started.

My focus

I will support you by providing a calm, non-judgmental space where we can work together to build coping skills, process emotions, and develop a greater sense of balance and self-awareness. Whether you're navigating a difficult season or seeking long-term growth, I'm here to help you feel more grounded and in control of your life.

My approach

I have experience supporting individuals through anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, and relationship challenges. My approach is compassionate, strengths-based, and tailored to each person's unique needs, drawing from CBT, DBT, mindfulness, and trauma-informed care.

My communication style

My down-to-earth communication style and approach to treatment will lightly challenge you on your unhealthy thought patterns in order to move towards change.

My journey to mental healthcare

I've always been drawn to understanding people's stories and helping them find strength in their struggles. Becoming a therapist has allowed me to combine empathy, clinical skills, and a passion for mental health to make a meaningful difference in people's lives.

My goals for you

We will set clear, realistic treatment goals that align with your values and what you want to change or improve in your life. Together, we break those goals down into manageable steps, using evidence-based tools like CBT, mindfulness, and strengths-based approaches to track progress and adjust as needed.

Our first session

In our first session, I will spend time getting to know you and talking about what brings you to therapy. I'll ask about your background, current challenges, and goals so I can understand how to best support you.
