Kind Words

I found Shely’s work to be very inspiring, and extremely helpful for those of us struggling with post traumatic difficulties.

 

In today’s world where events have become increasingly difficult for the human nervous system to digest, and the stressors of life are becoming more intense by the day, as technology is speeding up the rhythm of human experience, relief is not a luxury but a necessity.

 

I’m grateful to Shely for all she’s doing in this regard and wish her tremendous success in this area that is of utmost importance

Inhale the present moment, exhale what is heavy

My name is Shely Rachel, I work with individuals and couples aged 18+ with diverse backgrounds. I have been practicing for just over 8 Years. I am passionate about helping others and I feel so blessed to have found my place in the mental health and healing profession. 

My clients often tell me that I am funny. I am also known for being gentle and kind when discussing sensitive and difficult topics that can be deeply vulnerable. This is the foundation on which I build a strong therapeutic relationship with my clients. In this way, when it is time to dig deep, they trust the push that it takes to get to the real inner work.   I will meet my clients where they are but also hold a vision for where they can be.

Shely's presentation touches on an aspect of human sexuality and wellness that rarely gets the attention it deserves- the intersections of sex and spirituality. Judaism offers a plethora of resources that provide frameworks to embrace sex positivity, but resources on these aspects can be elusive. Shely has done a fantastic job of exploring these concepts and making them easily applicable to a wide audience.

Shely is amazing! She's helped me learn how to set healthy boundaries and practice self-care. She's helped me not feel shamed or guilty for actions out of my control. She continually provides support, good insight, and encouragement. Shely is attentive and compassionate, while remaining professional. I feel blessed that I found her, as she has helped me tremendously in my growth and healing process.
