Shealin is a great therapist that has helped me process many difficult situations in my life. She was very willing to learn with me about topics that she had less familiarity with in order to help facilitate therapy, including LGBT issues in particular. Overall, she is definitely a very kind and compassionate person, and I am delighted to have been with her.

Aloha! I am a National Certified, Licensed mental health counselor, with my masters focused in Marriage and Family Therapy.
I believe a healthy mind begins with a well balanced and wholistic approach.
I like to exercise a full life focus within my therapy, encompassing all aspects of mental health to physical health.
My working experience includes experiential sailing therapy as well as recovery addictions therapy. I have worked with a wide range of populations, including families, adult couples, individuals, and especially teens. I have assisted my clients overcome anxiety, depression, confidence in sexuality, love of self, addictions, and physical or emotional trauma amongst many other concerns. Clients have reported that they feel comfortable enough to share things they have never shared with anyone else. My approach is heartfelt, true, and genuine, and hopefully you will give me the blessing to share with me too.
Many have hesitations about therapy, but if you are attending therapy, this means you are taking the best step to improving you mental health! I look forward to talking with you!

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Feeling so lucky to be paired with Shealin. She is so kind and patient with me as I explain all the details to my rollarcoaster stories. I feel heard, understood, -it is truly apparent Shealin cares for my mental growth and wants to creatively help me navigate myself to being the best version of myself.
Shealin has been so helpful so far. What I really like about her approach is that she doesn't make any snap conclusions and give you some direction to unfold what may be the core of what is going on. She validates my thoughts and feelings which I have found very encourging. Having a thoughtful and warm person tell me that what I am feeling is normal has helped me open up even more and I feel we are now making some great progress.
I started therapy with Shaelin during a very hard time for me. I can say Shaelin has helped me a lot. I've never felt judged or pushed to make any desition, instead helping me to reach my own at my own pace and giving me tools to deal with situations better. I have noticed the change in me and so have others. I'm in a better place now
Shealin listens and is deeper than she appears. I would recommend her to a friend yes
In just a short time with Shealin I feel truly heard and understood. She is truly helping me understand my various problems and how to start to process them. Im looking forward to taking this journey with Shealin to being the best version of myself I can be
