Shelby Driver (she/her/hers)

I specialize in treating religious trauma as experienced by LGBTQI+ adults, such as trauma caused by conversion therapy, purity culture, abusive families or church leaders, or issues caused by cult practices. I also help individuals integrate their LGBTQI+ identities with their current beliefs or spiritual practices.

I take a feminist approach to counseling and work with women to address issues like self esteem, rewiring negative beliefs or assumptions created by patriarchal systems, self actualization, ADHD, anxiety, depression, and religious trauma. I seek to help women trust themselves and feel empowered.

I like to address relationship issues through the lens of attachment styles in order to uncover unconscious patterns and beliefs.

I am an Art Therapist Registered-Provisional which means I am working towards earning my full ATR and LPAT licenses. I utilize creative interventions in my work with clients as requested.

I am a certified Dialectical Behavior Therapy clinician, but I prefer to use DBT principles and skills in a flexible way that makes the most sense for the client.

I approach therapy as an equal with my client. We address system issues together and work to deconstruct harmful patriarchal beliefs and assumptions.
