Hello, my name is Shelley Mondelli. I am a licensed Mental Health Counselor and the concept of a peaceful mind is my main goal in this profession.I strive to understand a troubled mind and help to bring about change within.If you are struggling with anxiety, depression, self doubt or low self esteem, don’t go through this alone. I am here to help you sort these feelings out and develop coping skills.
My approach
My philosophy is to always start where a person is, to be culturally sensitive, to listen to what is being said and not being said and ultimately to create a nurturing and goal oriented environment to achieve balance and well-being.
My focus
I have extensive experience working in organizations supporting the mentally ill and developmentally disabled population from children with behavioral issues to young adults, middle aged and elders with severe mental illness, substance use and co occurring disorders. I understand the difficulty in reaching out to a stranger and revealing your emotions and thoughts but I am open to any questions you may have and encourage you to contact me through email or phone. The first step is always the most challenging, but once taken the next ones can be so rewarding.
My communication style
My services are personalized to suit each individual’s needs. Let me assist you in discovering the depths of your personal power and positive change towards a more fulfilling and happier life. Together we can find deep and meaningful connection and insight, find joy, trust, and grow. Let’s begin the process of healing. As a therapist, I draw inspiration from many different sources, and have found that an integration of approaches and practices that are uniquely curated to each person and family tend to be most effective in bringing about truly meaningful and sustainable change.
My journey to mental healthcare
From a young age I have always had a strong desire to help people. I feel and believe that every person deserves to live life to their fullest and happiest, however that may be.
My goals for you
I meet clients where they are at and help them with setting goals that can be achievable for them.
My first session with you
As your clinician, my goal is to be your teammate in your healing journey. My top priority is to provide you with a safe space, free of judgment and authenticity, where you can bring your whole self.
