Shelby McCartney, LICSW
In her own words…
I want you to find freedom.
There are many things in life that keep us tethered in bondage. Sometimes it’s depression, anxiety, or stress. Other times the fight is with grief, addiction, or codependency. When life is challenging, it is important not to feel alone. I am honored to meet with you and hold space for your story. When we meet, you are safe to be honest and vulnerable.
You are not alone.
When you are facing the most difficult seasons of your life, you deserve to feel heard and supported. You may feel as though you are the only one experiencing difficulty — that you are the only one who is stuck or suffering. Do not be deceived. You are not alone, and you deserve to feel heard and supported.
