About Me
I am so glad you are taking the time to read my introduction. I am a Licensed psychotherapist, in the State of Oregon, Wyoming, and Utah. I graduated from the University of Nevada in 1999 with my Master’s Degree specializing in behavioral and cognitive therapy. I started practicing in Orange County California and moved back to my home state of Oregon in 2003. I have over 19 years of experience working as a clinical psychotherapist and I took a short sabbatical to care for my family. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, Bipolar Disorder, career challenges, grief, pain management, sleeping difficulties, Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder (ADHD) and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). I have also helped many people who have experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse. In addition, I have treated people with Addiction Difficulties.

Reviews
These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Shellany Cushner. We don’t pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
My therapist is knowledgeable in helping me identify PTSD & the different symptoms and behaviours that I have been experiencing over life stressors. I like the way she does an end of session review of of the session. Each session she has suggestions on ways I can improve my choices during triggering events. Shellany has been my therapist for about less than 6 months and during that time I have developed effective coping strategies that have improved my mental & physical health faster than the several years of doing self care. I appreciate the post session work sheets she provides me.
I have been impressed with the quality of sessions with her.
Shellany is the most incredible therapist I have ever had. I not only feel heard, but understood, in a completely judgement-free atmosphere. She has been gently helping me through the tough process of healing from trauma, and I can't thank her enough for what she has done for me.
Really appreciate her understanding and knowledge
I feel very comfortable with her

Shellany is a calming presence and very easy to talk to and her expertise and professionalism shows in all of our interactions.
Shellany is very knowledgeable and understanding.
This has been a tremendous help. I suffer from things that will prevent me from actually driving to a physical address for therapy. So the fact that I can get online from the comfort of my home to get real help is nothing short of amazing.
I trust that Shellany's experience backing her knowledge is a great combo in a therapist!
Shellany is amazing! She is relatable and kind. She sends helpful material for coping too.
