How We Can Help You
Shelley West has over 18 years of experience using individual Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT). She works with adults (age 19 and older) who are struggling with challenging psychological issues. These issues include, but are not limited to: traumas, intimate partner violence (IPV), depression, anxiety, stress, anger, and grief. Issues may also relate to difficulties with relationships, sleep and chronic pain. She also has experience helping people struggling with suicidality, OCD, assertiveness and recovering from motor vehicle accidents.
Are you a Survivor of Abuse?
