Meet Shanel Clum, LMSW
Clinical Director & EMDR Therapist
Hi, I’m Shanel — and I help women heal from what’s been holding them back.
If you’ve found your way here, chances are you’re tired.
Tired of feeling anxious in your relationships.
Tired of carrying the guilt, shame, and sadness that weighs you down every day.
Tired of questioning your worth, wondering if you’re ever going to feel whole again.
Let me tell you something: you’re not broken—and you’re not alone.
I help women just like you: the ones who know deep down they’re capable of feeling confident, peaceful, and secure in themselves and their relationships…
but they just need the right support to get there.
You want to wake up feeling hopeful again—like yourself again.
But right now, that might feel impossible.
Your relationships mean everything to you, and when you're hurting, disconnected, or overwhelmed, it affects everything. It’s not just about you—it’s about how you show up for your partner, your kids, your friends… and when you're struggling, the guilt and shame pile on even more.
Most of the advice out there tells women to do more, try harder, or fix themselves to be happy. But the truth is, you don’t need to hustle for your worth—you need a space where you’re finally understood.
That’s where I come in.
In our work together, you’ll feel safe, supported, and truly seen.
I’m like your long-lost big sister—the one who gets it, listens to all the things, and helps you feel like yourself again.
We’ll start by taking a compassionate look at your life—your relationships, your past, the wounds you’ve carried quietly for far too long. Together, we’ll make sense of the patterns and pain that brought you here and use that as our road map forward.
From there, we’ll build the tools and confidence you need to feel grounded, calm, and worthy—not just for today, but for the rest of your life.
My specialty is EMDR therapy—and it’s a game changer.
If you’re carrying trauma, even if you’ve never called it that, EMDR helps your brain and body process those experiences so they stop running the show in your relationships and self-worth. As an EMDRIA-approved EMDR therapist, I blend EMDR with attachment-focused trauma therapy to help you heal from the inside out.
You’ll learn to finally feel safe in your body, trust yourself again, and stop walking on eggshells in your relationships. You deserve to feel calm in your own skin—and you can.
I don’t just know this as a therapist. I know this because I’ve lived it.
I know what it feels like to wake up and feel nothing but dread and guilt. To look around at your life and wonder how it got so hard. To give everything to others just to feel loved—while feeling completely unseen yourself.
So when you work with me, you won’t just get a trained expert. You’ll get someone who truly understands. Someone who’s been in that place… and found the way out.
There is a road map out of this, and I can help you follow it. And sister, let me tell you—the grass really is greener on the other side.
