Shelley Schulberg

About Shelley

I specialize in trauma work with children ages 10+, youth, and adults, helping individuals transform and resolve trauma symptoms and traumatic stress. I can help with low mood, depression, mood swings, anxiety and panic, anger, PTSD, self-harming behaviours, suicidal ideation, addictions, shame, early developmental attachment trauma, stress, relationship difficulties, communication problems, work-life balance, and life transitions. I am passionate about supporting and empowering people in their walk towards living their most fulfilling life.
My approach to counselling is non-judgemental, compassionate, strength-based, authentic, and body-oriented. Together we can work to help transform negative core beliefs, undesirable or unhealthy patterns, and find new ways of managing emotional difficulties. I can help you discover your strengths, resiliency, values and vision. I can help you learn coping skills and problem solving strategies to help you achieve the lasting change you are seeking.
I have over 20 years of experience in the human services field, working with Vancouver Island Health Authority (Island Health), non-profit community counselling organizations, and with my private practice located in Saanich, BC.
I have a Master’s degree in Counselling Psychology from the University of Victoria. I draw upon a range of evidence based approaches and interventions which are tailored to fit your individual, unique needs, wants, and goals. My work is informed by advanced trainings in a variety of therapeutic modalities, including Somatic Experiencing, Narrative Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing. I incorporate client-centered and mindfulness principles in my approach. I am certified as a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner. Extended Health Insurance plans may reimburse Registered Clinical Counsellor fees. Please check with your provider, if applicable.
