Shelley Mulock (she/her/hers)

I focused my academic study and thesis on grief and loss, and have had personal experience with this area. Understanding the grief and complex grief process for adults and children is important as one processes losing a loved one.

I have done much research and reading on chronic pain and illness. I also have personal experience in this area and understand how daunting a journey with chronic pain or illness can be. You don't have to do it alone.

Much of my client experience has been with the areas of anxiety and depression. Similarly to chronic pain, anxiety and depression can feel like a journey that will never end, which frustratingly feeds the cycle. Understanding what's happening in your body, and in your mind, can help one to feel a greater sense of control.

I have an integrated approach that includes a person-centered approach informed by family systems, attachment, trauma-focused, motivational, and EMDR therapies. It is important to me to draw from therapeutic approaches and interventions that are a good fit for the clients. Having a wide knowledge of approaches and interventions allows us to draw from multiple sources when approaching a plan for healing.

This approach in particular is very important to me as a therapist. Approaching each client with unconditional positive regard and helping individuals to find a locus of control within themselves and their environment is essential to not only to the individual growth process, but also to setting up support systems around oneself that will contribute to ones success.

As a clinician I am trained in EMDR therapy and I use EMDR therapy models when approaching, interpreting, and understanding the effect of trauma in individuals and in the therapeutic process.
