Shelby Fryar, LPC-MHSP (TN & TX)
The world is overwhelming and hard to navigate. Memories or experiences can keep you up at night or haunt your thoughts at every turn, making you feel stuck in a pit of anxiety and depression. It's challenging to enjoy your current life when the memories won't stop replaying and the weight of anxiety/depression is paralyzing. Sometimes you know exactly where the pain is stemming from and other times it creeps up with no explanation. I believe that there is hope.
Leaning into my empathy and utilizing a person-centered approach I work to create a safe space in the therapeutic relationship where true healing and movement can begin. I pull from CBT, DBT and Motivational Interviewing to help tailor a unique therapeutic experience that will work for you. Additional Training: EMDR.
The world is increasingly overwhelming everyday. You do not have to walk through the hard alone. I am here when you want to begin the process of regaining your life.

Therapy Approaches
EMDR
Eye-Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing is a empirically studied approach to tackling the stuck points in our history that keep up from being able to move forward.
Psychodynamic Therapy
Psychodynamic therapy looks at previous experiences, primarily those experiences in early childhood, that shape the way that we relate to the world around us. By looking back we can begin to make changes in the present that can be long lasting into the future.
Motivational Interviewing
When there is lack of movement and clients find themselves stuck in a cycle that is hurting them or their relationships, Motivational Interviewing can be used to help find that inspiration within to make necessary changes.
DBT
Dialectical Behavioral Therapy works to help with connecting our logic and emotion parts of our brain to create a more integrated approach to reacting and decision making. Using mindfulness and various DBT skills, the aim is to increase emotion regulation and distress tolerance.
Faith Background
I am a Christian; spiritual but not religious. How this informs my practice? It helps me to see that everyone was born with dignity and purpose and is not outside the reach of mercy and grace.
