Dr. Shelly Middleton

Dr. Shelly Middleton is a dedicated marriage and family therapist, holding a PsyD and LMFT credentials, who deeply understands the courage it takes for individuals to seek therapy. Inspired by the words of F. D. Roosevelt, she believes that 'Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the assessment that something else is more important than fear.' Dr. Middleton admires her clients for making brave choices to initiate change despite the fear of the unknown. She strives to provide a supportive and comfortable environment where clients can explore aspects of themselves and their lives that may feel difficult to address elsewhere. With a therapeutic toolbox that includes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Object Relations, Humanistic, Narrative Therapy, EMDR techniques, and Motivational Interviewing, Dr. Middleton has extensive experience working with adolescents, the LGBTQ+ community, as well as individuals and couples facing challenges such as depression, anxiety, self-esteem issues, infidelity, trauma, abuse, co-dependency, and addiction. Her goal is to forge a relationship with clients grounded in honesty and genuine compassion, believing that every person is unique and deserves love, kindness, and happiness. Dr. Middleton became a therapist motivated by her conviction in the profound positive impact that therapy can have on lives, and she looks forward to sharing this transformative journey with those willing to embark on it.
