Shelby Milhoan

My clients describe me as:

Non-judgemental, humourous, outgoing, compassionate, and direct. I mix validation and directness and enjoy working as a team

Something to know about my approach is:

My approach is about meeting you where you are at, meaning if you are still deciding whether to discuss something, there is no need for me to push you. I hope gradually building on our relationship will help you feel more comfortable sharing.

Together, we will:

Look at previous relationships with self and others and emotions to establish goals and help create actual changes. I include skills teaching in my sessions, so come ready to work!

I specialize in working with people who:

Are burned-out people pleasers who have difficulty managing and expressing their emotions and relationships. People come to me tired and stressed and know they need help, though they usually don't know where to start.

I became a therapist because:

I wanted to be a person people could go to and not feel judged about what they thought and felt, like my first therapist was for me.

More about me and my practice:

Just because you may have been dealt a "crappy hand" or have been in and out of "toxic" relationships doesn't mean you can't make changes and find contentment or even happiness!
