Shelly Ingram

Therapist

Virtual & in-person • Newton, KS


I am passionate about helping others by blending their spiritual walk with their mental health.

My client focus

I work with females aged 18 and older, addressing issues related to family systems, relationships, spiritual integration, trauma, and personal growth.

My journey to becoming a provider

God has been the most important part of my family's healing, and I believe in second chances and that He truly is our hope. I love butterflies because I was once the caterpillar, and with God's help and therapy, I am learning to be the butterfly. I would like to help you fly with freedom too.

Andrew Palatinus

Andrew Palatinus

Therapist

Virtual • Kansas


With over 12 years of experience in mental health counseling, workplace wellness, and integrated primary care behavioral health, my life’s purpose is to help people find wholeness. I’m passionate about offering compassionate support to individuals and couples as they navigate life’s challenges, ensuring they feel heard, valued, and empowered to grow.

Throughout my career, I’ve worked in a variety of settings—including hospitals, outpatient programs, and corporate environments—where I’ve built meaningful relationships with clients while managing high caseloads. Whether providing short-term counseling, coaching clients through transitions, or supporting employees in enhancing their well-being, I am deeply committed to fostering an environment where individuals can address their challenges with understanding and care.

A particular area of focus for me is helping couples strengthen their relationships. I find great fulfillment in guiding them through communication issues, conflicts, and life stressors. I believe strong, healthy relationships are key to overall well-being, and I’m passionate about helping couples build lasting, supportive connections.

I also work with individuals dealing with a range of issues like depression, anxiety, family challenges, and work-related stress, always aiming to help them find balance and self-discovery. Additionally, I have contributed to wellness programs and telehealth services, equipping individuals and leaders with tools to thrive both personally and professionally.

I am dedicated to continuous growth, which is why I’ve pursued additional training in areas like Primary Care Behavioral Health and telehealth technology. This allows me to stay adaptable and ensure the care I provide remains effective and relevant.

In every aspect of my career, I strive to create a safe, open, and understanding space for people to explore their challenges and feel supported on their journey toward wholeness.
