Shellene Hattersley is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), a licensed mental health professional trained to support emotional well-being and life change. She earned a Master of Social Work from the University of Central Florida in 2020 and became licensed in Florida in 2022. Her work in social services began in 2012, where she developed a strong commitment to helping individuals and families navigate difficult seasons and build practical skills for the future.

Over the years, Shellene has provided individual, group, and family therapy in community mental health settings before opening her own private practice. She focuses on supporting adults who are working through concerns such as depression, anxiety, parenting stress, and personal growth. Whether someone feels weighed down by intense emotions, caught in patterns that no longer serve them, or simply looking for more clarity and fulfillment, she offers a steady, compassionate space to explore what is happening and identify meaningful next steps.

Her style is strengths-based and trauma-informed, emphasizing that people are more than the challenges they face. She aims to highlight resilience, self-determination, and whole-person well-being while tailoring the work to each client’s goals and needs. Shellene draws from evidence-based strategies while also respecting the client’s story and the strengths already present. She recognizes that starting therapy can feel intimidating and works at a pace that feels manageable, collaborating toward positive, lasting change.
