Introduction

Hi! My name is Shelly Kessinger, LPC, and I am a relationship and communication expert. I have been a counselor for 17 years. My area of expertise is relationships, communication, emotional connection, and teaching healthy communication skills. I work with couples and individuals on relationship issues - not just what you fight about - but HOW you fight. I utilize Gottman, Emotionally Focused Therapy, CBT and DBT in my practice. I love working with couples and getting to the root cause of the issue. My superpower is untangling complex emotional issues and giving practical tools for you to use outside the session. My counseling style is professional, friendly, and solution-focused. Feel free to ask me anything!
