About Shelley Jones Reg. Psychotherapist

Shelley Jones is a Registered Psychotherapist with over 30 years of experience supporting adults through a variety of complex life challenges. She specializes in individual and couples therapy for clients aged 20 and over, with a focus on high-functioning anxiety, perfectionism, imposter syndrome, and significant life transitions such as midlife changes, career shifts, divorce, and the empty nest phase.

Shelley holds a Master’s degree and advanced training in evidence-based therapeutic modalities including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Narrative Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, Mindfulness-Based Therapy, and LENS Neurofeedback. This diverse skill set allows her to tailor each therapy session to meet her clients’ unique needs and goals.

She is passionate about helping clients build healthy boundaries, improve self-worth, and manage relationship challenges—especially those involving parent-adult child dynamics or other complex interpersonal stressors. Shelley also works extensively with couples, guiding them through issues related to emotional intimacy, trust repair, communication difficulties, and betrayal trauma from infidelity or emotional disconnection.

Clients appreciate Shelley’s warm, authentic, and collaborative approach. She fosters empathy, self-compassion, and resilience, equipping clients with lasting tools for emotional regulation and healing. Beyond her clinical work, Shelley has facilitated numerous workshops and psychoeducational seminars focusing on emotional wellness, self-care, and relationship dynamics.

Outside the therapy room, Shelley enjoys mindfulness practice, spending time in nature, and engaging in creative pursuits, all of which enrich her personal and professional life. Her extensive experience combined with a genuine passion for supporting others makes Shelley a trusted guide for individuals and couples seeking meaningful change and emotional balance.

My Expertise Area & Features

Couples Counseling

Many couples face:

Constant arguments and misunderstandings
A growing emotional distance or lack of intimacy
Unresolved past trauma impacting the relationship
Trust issues due to infidelity, betrayal, or past conflicts

Example: You and your partner feel more like roommates than lovers, and every conversation turns into an argument.

Shelley helps couples:

Improve communication skills and active listening
Work through trust issues and emotional wounds
Develop healthy conflict-resolution strategies
Rekindle emotional and physical intimacy

Conflict is natural, but constant high-intensity arguments can damage relationships and mental health. Shelley helps individuals and couples:

Break patterns of defensiveness, blame, and resentment
Learn healthy communication techniques to express needs without escalation
De-escalate tense situations and find common ground
Develop emotional intelligence to navigate difficult conversations

Example: You and your partner have the same fight over and over, and no one feels heard or understood.

Shelley helps clients:

Understand conflict patterns and break unhealthy cycles
Build empathy and emotional resilience
Set boundaries that promote respect and mutual understanding
Learn how to disagree without damaging the relationship
