About Shannon

Shannon Kelly, AMFT

As a therapist, I offer a grounded and collaborative space for reflection, healing, and meaningful growth. I work with high-functioning individuals and couples who are navigating life transitions, relationship challenges, emotional stress, or a quiet sense that something essential feels out of reach. Whether you're seeking therapy for personal insight, trauma recovery, or to strengthen your relationships, my approach meets you where you are with curiosity, care, and intention.

​

My work is rooted in deep respect for each person’s lived experience and inner world. I strive to create a therapeutic relationship built on trust, compassion, and empowerment, where you feel fully seen and supported. Clients often come to me wanting to understand how past experiences and unconscious patterns shape their present relationships, identity, and sense of self. Drawing from depth psychology and psychodynamic principles, I help you explore these connections with care so you can respond to life with greater clarity and presence.

​

I integrate a range of evidence-based and insight-oriented modalities, including Internal Family Systems (IFS), EMDR, Narrative Therapy, and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT). These approaches help us explore the internal landscape with depth and precision, working with parts of self, healing emotional wounds, restoring connection, and softening the impact of trauma or emotional overwhelm. I also incorporate somatic awareness and inner child work to support nervous system regulation and deeper emotional integration.

​

Before becoming a therapist, I spent two decades as a top-producing real estate professional. Much of that work involved more than just transactions; it meant counseling clients through life transitions, helping them clarify their goals, navigate high-stress decisions, and stay connected to what mattered most during times of change. That experience continues to shape how I show up in the therapy room today: with presence, strategic thinking, and a deep respect for the complexity of personal growth. I understand the unique pressures of performing at a high level while managing relationships, family dynamics, and internal expectations. This background allows me to support clients with both empathy and clarity as they navigate professional and relational crossroads.

​

Therapy with me is not about pathology or perfection. It is about reconnecting with your inner wisdom, identifying what matters most to you, and building the internal capacity to live in alignment with your values. Real change comes from within, not through quick fixes, but through intentional exploration, relational support, and sustainable growth.

​

I am committed to providing high-quality, ethical care that honors the full complexity of who you are: your history, your relationships, and your evolving sense of self. Whether you are someone who thrives on reflection or someone who is used to staying in motion, our work will move at a pace that feels attuned, spacious, and meaningful.

​

If you are ready to invest in a deeper relationship with yourself or your partner, I invite you to schedule a free 20-minute consultation. Therapy can be a place where insight becomes action, healing becomes sustainable, and growth becomes your own.
