It’s time to find joy in life again.
Shanel Clum, LCSW, LICSW EMDRIA Approved EMDR Therapist
You remember a time when avoidance, anxiety, & self-doubt weren’t the “norm” … but those days feel like a distant memory. Don’t you wish you had the tools to change that?
You’ve come to the right place.
I’m Shanel, and I help women just like you: ones that have it within them to be confident, healthy, and thriving again in themselves and their relationships, but just need the support to get there.
I help my clients find confidence, happiness, and fulfillment by equipping them with the tools they need to better understand themselves and create healthy, supportive relationships.
I understand that your relationships are the most important thing to you and when you’re filled with pain, sadness, or emptiness, this leads you to feel even more guilty, ashamed, and hopeless. The idea of waking up in the morning hopeful and ready for life, feels like a fantasy.
Many of today’s solutions for women’s depression are focused around women being told to do more, fix themselves, or try harder in order to get what they want from life, leading so many to feel even worse about themselves.
I know that your circumstances are unique, so every step we take is tailored to you, and always with an end goal in mind.
Working with me, I immediately help you feel safe and supported. I’m like your long-lost big sister that is here to listen to all the things and provide you with all the understanding and compassion you’ve been missing.
Together, we’ll examine your life and all the bits and pieces that have led to your current circumstances. Understanding how you’ve gotten to where you’re at becomes our road map to the life and relationships you want.
Then, we help you develop the self-worth skills that you’ve been missing in order have and sustain joy and peace in your life. Through our work together, you’ll be equipped with the tools and confidence you need to feel safe and secure in yourself and get more out of your life.
I am dedicated to helping women regain their self-worth so they can have the life & relationships they deserve.
My training in EMDR & Attachment Focused Therapy means I have the expertise you need and deserve when healing from your depression. But at the end of the day, you want to know you’re working with someone who “gets” what it means to be a woman struggling with her self-worth, right?
Well, I get it because I’ve lived it. I know what it feels like to be anxious in your relationships, to feel so lost and ashamed, but having no clue how to fix what's been broken. I understand the people pleasing, fixer, self-sacrificing efforts to just be seen, heard, and loved. I understand waking up and feeling zero motivation to take care of my family or responsibilities, and the weight of guilt and shame for letting those around me down.
So when we work together, you won’t just get a trained therapist. You’ll get someone who truly understands what you’re going through and has been to the other side. I understand how to get out of this place. There’s a road map and I can help guide you out of it. And let me tell ya sister- the grass is greener!
