Who I work with

Individual Clients who are wanting to address:

  • Trauma/Complex Trauma

  • Anxiety

  • Depression

  • Issues related to Neurodivergence

  • Identity Work

  • Communication

  • Individual issues or concerns around Polyamory/Non-monogamy

  • Self-Esteem

  • Self-Harm or other unwanted coping skills

  • Therapy for Therapists, especially ND therapists

  • Concerns related to strength training/ fitness

My Style and Modalities for Therapy:

I generally use tactics and interventions from CBT, DBT, Gestalt, and Narrative Therapy.

My style is generally one that is warm yet challenging. I use a lot of humor, metaphors, creativity, and psychoeducation in session. I draw a lot from my past careers in teaching, behaviorism, and personal training. I’m not a blank slate in session. I bring myself into the room, and I hope that allows space for my clients to do the same.

How to Work with Me

Clients I accept:

  • 15+ years old, typically, individual clients (no families or couples at this time)

  • In-person or Telehealth

  • Out-of-pocket or Insurance (Medicaid, Cigna, Aetna, and a few others)

Steps in the Process:

  1. Reach out to me directly via the contact page if you have questions

  2. If you are ready to either schedule a free consultation or a first session (intake session), go to www.highersightscounseling.com/contact to fill out their webform

  3. Let them know your insurance, your interest in scheduling with me (Shelby Nolan), and they’ll help get you set up

  4. Schedule your consultation or intake through your SimplePractice portal that HigherSights sets up OR reach out to me directly, and I’ll schedule that for you. Either is fine!
