Have you experienced depression, loneliness, or trauma? My name is Shelly Keller and I've been practicing as an LCSW for the past 12 years. I have extensive experience working with trauma, grief, adoption, depression, foster care, and relationship issues.
My approach
I know that no single approach is the right one for every individual, which is why I have been trained in several modalities of therapy including Cognitive Behavioral therapy, Psychodynamic, Humanistic, and Interpersonal. My modalities also include Attachment-based, Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Family Systems, Complicated Grief Therapy (CGT), and Strength-Based approaches.
My focus
I am willing to see individuals and minors (ages 13-17). My specialties include ADHD, Anger Management, Anxiety, Behavioral Issues, Bipolar Disorder, Depression, Divorce, Domestic Violence, Family Conflict, Grief, LGBTQIA+, Life Transitions, Parenting, Pregnancy/Prenatal/Postpartum, Relationship Issues, Self-Esteem, Self-Harming, Sexual Abuse, Sexual Addiction, Stress, Substance Use, Suicidal Ideation, Transgender Issues, Trauma and PTSD, Racial Identity, Panic Attacks, and Autism or Asperger's Syndrome.
My communication style
My personality is positive and empowering. I am very passionate about assisting others in finding ways to cope with the issues we are faced with throughout life.
My journey to mental healthcare
I have been working in the field of social work for over 22 years and have been involved in empowering people from different life circumstances during this time. From April 2005 to April 2009, I completed clinical hours for licensure with Cindy Hathaway in Santa Clarita, CA, and with Mrs. Huff in the Shawnee Mission School District in Shawnee, KS.
My goals for you
My personal philosophy is not to judge but to empower people. I aim to help you find effective coping strategies to navigate life's challenges and make positive changes.
