Butterfly Effect Counseling & Consultation Center
A trauma resolution center dedicated to women's mental health and healing in Richardson, and throughout the State of Texas.
Healing. Restoration. Movement.
Trauma causes major disruptions on multiple levels and areas of your life. Whether it occurred in childhood or adulthood, these unhealed wounds can leave you feeling alone and powerless. But...
You are not alone.
There is healing beyond the wounds you've experienced. My goal is to help you access it.
Innately, you have the capacity to heal given the right connection, environment, tools, time, and opportunity.
As a trauma resolution practitioner, I primarily use Brainspotting and EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing). These brain-body modalities go beyond the thinking and talking part of your brain to access the subcortical and somatic or body areas that hold your distressing experiences, to help you achieve deep healing from the inside out and from the bottom up.
There is healing for you.
Healing is the process of making or becoming sound or healthy.
Healing brings restoration.
Restoration is the act of returning something that was stolen or taken.
When you are restored, there is movement.
Movement is a change or development.
It's freedom.
Freedom is moving through the distressing experiences that caused you to react as though it was happening again.
Freedom is showing up in your life - being present and using your voice.
Freedom is saying 'no' to others (because in the past you had to shrink down, become invisible, or put others' needs ahead of yours). When you are free you can say 'yes' to yourself.
Freedom is knowing who you are, what you want, what you need, and going after it without guilt or shame - because you deserve it - you are worth it.
Freedom is breaking out of the mental, emotional, and physical bondage of your past and building your self-esteem and self-worth. It's time to focus on you - your healing - your life - your joy - your happiness!
Freedom is you.
Like the Butterfly, you can transcend, transform, and fly.
Freedom is using dance, movement, music, drumming, sound healing, story-telling, nature, and creativity as natural ways to express your experiences to gain a greater sense of self and wellness.
I compassionately support you in your journey of healing, restoration, and movement to walk in your freedom.
Together, we transform how you hold the wounds and distressing experiences of your past so they no longer show up in your present and future as blocks, procrastination, unrealistic fears, people-pleasing, low self-esteem, or unhealthy relationship patterns (to name a few).

Meet Shelly

Hey there!
I'm a living witness that life can throw punches that will literally knock the wind out of you. Yup, I'm human. I'm guessing you're the same, right? But if there's one thing I can say about life's battles is that although they were tough, I made it through.
I've found that I'm a bit stronger than I thought I was. I am a survivor.
I know what it's like to feel like your world is falling apart before you, and you feel helpless. I hit rock bottom, and that's when I knew I needed help. I couldn't do it alone, so I didn't. I sought help through therapy. And well, here I am.
I've made it my life's mission to help women like you because I was once like you. You want to gain control over your life and not allow your emotions, circumstances, or past to continue to dictate your life. Girl, I've got you!
If part of life is about relationships, then it stands to reason that the therapeutic relationship is equally important to your success. When the connection is there, it's a sure setup for healing. Together, we can do this.
