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.
