Shelley Stephan, M.A., LPC, PMH-C

Life’s challenges can feel heavy, and many people find themselves struggling with anxiety, depression, grief, or stress at different points in their lives. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected from the joy you once felt, you’re not alone. As a Licensed Professional Counselor in Frisco, Texas, I provide a warm, supportive space where young adults and adults can explore their experiences and begin healing. My approach is personalized, compassionate, and grounded in helping you regain balance and emotional well‑being. I work with clients facing a wide range of concerns, including depression, anxiety, grief, stress management, boundary issues, and family‑of‑origin challenges. I also specialize in infertility counseling, miscarriage and pregnancy loss support, postpartum depression and postpartum anxiety treatment, and guidance for new parent transitions. My background in infertility and perinatal mental health allows me to support individuals and couples through some of the most vulnerable and emotionally complex seasons of life. My journey into counseling began during my own infertility experience. After multiple miscarriages and years of treatments, my husband and I faced deep heartbreak and uncertainty. Those years gave me a unique understanding of the infertility world and the emotional rollercoaster that comes with it. This personal experience fuels my passion for helping others navigate their own fertility struggles and life transitions with empathy, clarity, and hope. I’m a native Texan who has spent most of my life in the Dallas area. I earned my Bachelor’s degree from The University of Texas at Austin and later completed my Master’s in Counseling at Dallas Baptist University. My clinical experience includes both private practice and hospital settings, giving me a broad perspective on mental health care and the diverse needs of clients seeking therapy. Outside the therapy room, I enjoy spending time with family and friends, watching college football, decorating custom cookies, and serving in Sunday school. My husband and I have been married for 19 years, and we’re grateful parents to our daughter. My goal is to create a safe, authentic, and welcoming environment where you feel supported as you explore your story and move toward lasting peace and healing. Whether you’re seeking support for infertility, postpartum challenges, anxiety, depression, or life transitions, I’m here to walk alongside you with compassion and care.
