Shelly Huffman, LMHC, LLC

22 years experience working with clients from diverse backgrounds, with a wide variety of issues. A particular passion is working with others in the helping professions. My areas of ongoing study are in the neuroscience of psychotherapy: how therapy changes the brain, as related to stress reduction and improving communication and intimacy in relationships. I have specialized training in various mindfulness therapies, and am an Advanced Level 2 practitioner of Somatic Experiencing (TM).

Additional Services: My counseling style is compassionate, nurturing, and humorous, with a commitment to honest, straightforward feedback. I approach a client's suffering with questions about how, when and why the issues have surfaced, with interest in how the client's life is "speaking" to them and with a reverence for the body's ability to heal itself with supportive people and practices.
