When individuals experience severe stress, trauma, and/or loss, life tends to unravel and become difficult to manage. I am dedicated to seeing people rise above their circumstances and become who they were created to be. I use an integrated approach to therapy incorporating my faith in God while utilizing a variety of techniques including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Cognitive Processing Therapy, stress management, anxiety reduction, communication skills, anger management, and establishing healthy boundaries to bring about healing, hope, and restoration to individuals who have faced or are facing life trials.
I have been practicing since 2008 and feel blessed to walk in my calling to help others every day. I enjoy working with Veterans to overcome trauma, teens to deal with overwhelming issues they face today, individuals to discover who they are and recover from a variety of life situations, and couples to restore faith and love in their marriage.

Shelby Rodgers, MA, LPC
I’m passionate about helping individual adults and teens find their happiness and overcome current and past difficulties in their lives through faith-based counseling. As an eclectic therapist we will utilize multiple theories and techniques to personalize a treatment plan that caters to each client’s individual and specific needs.
Our first session will focus on building rapport. Come as yourself, leaving judgment and shame at the threshold of the therapeutic room. As we get to know each other we will start to identify key areas of difficulty and work together to come up with goals that can help you reach the best you there is.
I believe in working together to set doable goals and building a rock solid foundation that will be able to sustain you in the long run. I will be with you through the whole process and together we can get you to the best you.
