No one in life is perfect, including me! Being able to identify, relate and empathize with you as my patient is probably one of my greatest strengths. The special relationship formed between you and I, ensuring trust, confidence, and ability to truly work through the issues are of utmost importance. I believe everyone has something to work through in their lives. By providing evidence based therapy and unconditional positive regard, I have been very effective in my treatment history. I will always begin where you feel you need to go in therapy and allow you to guide me in your struggles, what you need most and what you desire to gain from therapy. This is a two way relationship and feedback throughout the therapeutic process will only enhance the therapeutic relationship towards your goals. I wish for you to find the inner peace and strength that I know everyone has within them and to be able to achieve and live the life that makes you feel truly alive! As for some information about myself, I am a retired Army social worker and love that I have had the ability to work with Soldiers throughout a multitude of issues to include PTSD, depression, anxiety, phase of life issues, grief and loss, marital counseling, substance abuse, domestic violence intervention, parenting skills, and adjustment issues. My background and strengths are in utilizing Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Prolonged Exposure and other desensitization therapy, Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy, and Supportive Therapy. I like to provide psycho-education and lots of coping skills, self-reflective, and other psychological tools to allow patients to learn and grow via hands-on materials. Growth comes with constant practice and application of the things we learn. I hope you will allow me to be part of your journey and I look forward to meeting you.

Shelly Hendley
Are you feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or like you've lost sight of who you are outside of everyone else's needs? You're not alone — and you don't have to figure it out alone either. As a licensed therapist in Texas with a Master's in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and pursuing a Doctorate in Community Care and Counseling, I specialize in working with people navigating anxiety, addiction and recovery, relationship patterns, and seasons of personal reinvention. Whether you're in the middle of a major life transition, working through the weight of past experiences, or simply trying to understand yourself better, this is a space where all of that is welcome. My approach is warm and direct. I'll meet you with genuine empathy, and I'll also gently challenge you when I think it serves your growth. Sessions aren't one-size-fits-all — we'll work together in a way that fits your pace, your personality, and your goals. My training includes Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Trauma-Focused CBT, Gottman Method Couples Therapy, and addiction counseling, so we have a lot of tools to draw from depending on what you need. I'm particularly passionate about creating a faith-sensitive environment where your spirituality isn't set aside — it can be part of your healing if that's meaningful to you. I also bring a personal and professional appreciation for cross-cultural experiences and the unique pressures of navigating identity, belonging, and community expectations. Having grown up as a missionary kid in East Asia and worked extensively with missionaries and international workers, I understand what it means to live between worlds. Some of the areas I most commonly support clients through include social anxiety, self-esteem, communication and boundary-setting, substance use challenges, and learning to release what's outside your control. If you're in a season of asking "Who am I, and what do I actually want?" — that's some of my favorite work. I believe healing happens in relationship, and I'm committed to walking alongside you with consistency, honesty, and care. Let's explore what's possible together.

Howdy! I'm a therapist who has had the privilege of working with people navigating a wide range of experiences — from schizophrenia and other serious mental health conditions to substance use concerns. My approach is rooted in compassion, respect, and a belief in meeting people exactly where they are, while gently challenging them when it supports their growth. Most recently, I have worked extensively with veterans and their families, focusing on post-traumatic stress disorder, depression, and anxiety.

I am deeply passionate about helping individuals release those burdens so that life can begin to feel lighter, more manageable, and more hopeful. It would be an honor to meet with you and learn more about your story. I look forward to walking alongside you in your healing journey.
