Introduction

Greetings, I am Kanika Shelly, a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. My expertise lies in providing strength-based solutions, trauma-focused care, and holistic techniques to aid individuals, families, couples, and groups. During our sessions, I prioritize creating a collaborative, warm, humorous atmosphere while maintaining respect, sensitivity, compassion, and empathy. These values are essential in cultivating healthy, communicative, loving, and thriving relationships with oneself and others. My style of therapy is interactive and warm, and I use the metaphor of "The Yellow Brick Road" to describe our collaborative journey towards self-discovery and understanding our relationships with others. I truly believe that everyone, regardless of whether they are in chosen or biological families, deserves to be treated with respect, sensitivity, compassion, and empathy. My ultimate goal is to support establishing healthy, communicative, loving, and thriving relationships with oneself and others.
