I have spent over 40 years teaching, training, and developing mental health programs for individuals from 4 to 84 find hope once again. I am a life-long learner and add at least one certificate a year to ensure clients are given multiple approaches to what they encounter. I am very honest and direct, but also understand the need for pause and reflection. You know the level of your pain and suffering. My job is to meet you where you are and lead you to the place you want to go.

As your counselor, I will be a partner in developing appropriate treatment plans that accomplish established goals. I believe that human development is a lifelong process and personality and behavior changes are possible at any time. I also believe in the need for a flexible multicultural approach and that the counselor and client are equal partners.

I love working with children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families. I have worked with people from various backgrounds and cultures throughout my career and these experiences help me to easily connect with my clients. Additionally, I have worked with children and adults with anxiety disorders, provided pre-marital counseling, and addressed spiritual concerns for individuals, couples, and families. I have obtained specialized instruction in working with victims of human trafficking, and persons who are lesbian, gay, bisexual, and/or transgender. Also, I have experience working with persons of varied ethnic, racial, sexual orientation, and religious backgrounds.

As a Counselor, I am always looking for opportunities to grow and develop my abilities to best serve my clients. I am a National Certified Counselor (NCC) by the National Board of Certified Counselors (NBCC). I am an active member American Counseling Association (ACA) and Texas Counseling Association (TCA). I look forward to partnering with you on your journey to achieve and maintain wellness.

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.

Despite what ol’ Forrest Gump shared with us while sitting on a park bench, life isn’t always a box of chocolates. Sometimes, it can feel more like a box of rocks. You might feel overwhelmed, stuck, irritated, anxious, depressed, alone, misunderstood, or frustrated with your circumstances and the burdens you carry. You may struggle to understand yourself or those you love, or wonder if there’s something wrong with you, or the world around you. You might ask yourself, What is the purpose of all this? What am I supposed to do? How can I find happiness and peace?

Let’s start by putting down that box of rocks. You don’t have to carry it alone. There are answers, and I am here to help you explore these questions. Therapy offers a safe space where, together, we can explore your thoughts, feelings, and subconscious mind, while noticing your personal strengths- strengths that make you unique, accomplished, and capable.

In a life that may seem uncertain, one thing remains true: there is hope, joy, and peace for you-and it’s within your grasp. I congratulate you on your courage and commitment to finding the change you seek. As an integrative, trauma-informed therapist, I would be honored to be part of your healing journey. The answers may be closer than they appear.
