I started working with Shelli Norvell in the spring of 2020 during one of the most challenging seasons of my life. The funny thing is, the longer I’ve worked with Shelli, the more I’ve tuned into the fact that all seasons of life will present challenges; I’m just better equipped to navigate what life throws my way. Shelli has worked with me weekly for the better part of four years now - sometimes twice weekly. We’ve done everything from extensive EMDR, Future Template EMDR, mindfulness practice, and countless other methods to unravel the most troubled parts of my mind. Therapy is not easy, but the growth that I’ve been fortunate enough to experience over the last four years has put my life on a course that I didn’t realize was possible. Yes, I did the “work,” but without Shelli, none of this growth was possible. I can’t stress enough the importance of having the right people in your corner, especially with therapy. Shelli is invested in me and cares enough to hold me accountable week-to-week, encouraging me to reach the version of myself I know is in there that she somehow sees. Shelli’s honesty, compassion, empathy, and knowledge have given me a brilliant resource to turn to weekly, where I can move forward with “better tools” to navigate life. By blending her extensive knowledge of her craft, the “why” behind all of my questions, and moments of accountability, it’s a perfect fit for walking away weekly a little bit better than I came into the session. Writing a testimonial for someone who has changed your life is surprisingly hard. I want to jump up and down, point to Shelli, and scream, “She’s how this happened!” Truly, Shelli has changed my life and helped me find peace I never realized I could have. My marriage has never been better, the dynamics with my family are improving, and how I look at myself has never been more compassionate. I’m incredibly grateful for Shelli’s guidance, as she’s changed the course of my life, forever. If you’re looking to do the work, figure out what is bringing you down, and make the changes needed to find peace, then there is no person better to walk that path with you than Shelli.
