My career as a professional Counselor is new. I was forced to leave a 26 year career behind after a fall at work prevented me from being able to that job any longer. Forced to live on disability, I went back to school to earn a degree that led to where I am now.

I feel my life experiences afford me a no-judgement, above-average understanding of people, their experiences, and their behaviors.

Hello, I'm Lindsay Shelton. I have worked in the mental health field since 2017, beginning my career in crisis services supporting individuals and families through challenging seasons of life. I earned my Bachelor of Science in Psychology from the University of Houston–Clear Lake and my Master of Education from Lamar University. I have a passion for supporting women and adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, infertility, maternal mental health, and major life transitions. My goal is to provide a space where clients feel understood, supported, and empowered.

If you are carrying grief, trauma, or navigating a major life transition, you may feel overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure how to move forward. Experiences such as loss, divorce, infertility, or other unexpected changes can deeply impact your sense of stability and alters your identity.

I bring over two decades of experience working in a variety of clinical settings. My background includes serving as a probation officer, directing three partial hospitalization programs, working in an inpatient psychiatric facility, and building a private practice. These experiences have given me a broad and practical understanding of how people struggle—and more importantly, how they heal.

I hold a Master of Education in Counseling and Guidance and have been a Licensed Professional Counselor since 2001. I specialize in trauma and grief, using EMDR as my primary modality, along with CBT and other evidence-based approaches. I also value and incorporate principles from 12-step recovery when working with clients or loved ones living with addiction.

I work with adults facing trauma, grief, and life transitions, including those who are high-functioning but internally struggling. Regardless of what brought you here, therapy can be a place to gain clarity, build resilience, and reconnect with yourself.

I help children, adults, couples, and families who are navigating ADHD, anxiety, trauma, depression, relationship concerns, life transitions, or substance-use challenges. As an LPC-S, LCDC, and Certified School Counselor, I bring behavioral-health and school-based experience to therapy. My style is warm, direct, culturally responsive, and nonjudgmental. Together, we identify patterns, build practical coping and communication skills, and create a treatment plan that reflects your needs, strengths, and goals.
