Shelby Adams, LMSW

Hi, I’m Shelby! I’m a Licensed Master Social Worker with a passion for supporting children, adolescents, teens and their families as they navigate the many ups and downs of growing up. With a warm, empathetic approach, I strive to create a safe and welcoming space where young people feel seen, heard, and empowered.

 

My work is grounded in evidence-based practices like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Child Parent Relationship Therapy (CPRT), and Play Therapy. In collaboration with Talk Therapy, I often incorporate mindfulness techniques, play, art, therapeutic games and journaling to help kids express themselves in ways that feel natural and comfortable. I believe that healing happens through connection—and that every child has the potential to thrive when given the right tools and support.

 

In addition to my clinical training, I’m certified in School Social Work, and I bring a deep understanding of how school, family, and emotional health intersect. I also work closely with parents and caregivers to strengthen relationships and foster healthy communication at home. Whether your child is experiencing anxiety, anger management, emotional regulation challenges, or going through a big life change, I’m here to help them feel more confident, calm, and capable—and to help you feel supported along the way.

 

Thank you!
