Psychiatrist in Raleigh, NC

Hello! I’m Natashia Shelley, MA, LCMHC. I have been licensed as a LCMHC since 2013. I received my Bachelor of Arts Degree in Psychology with a minor in Child Development and Family Relations from East Carolina University. After two years, I went back to receive my Masters of Arts Degree in Professional Mental Health Counseling from Webster University. I’ve worked in an array of different services such as in-home and community based services, facilities, and office based services. I’ve worked with a variety of populations including adults, children, families, special needs, at-risk youth, individuals experiencing homelessness, older adults, caregivers, and medically fragile children. As you can see, my career in helping others is extensive. I’m also an active volunteer in my community; volunteering as a Guardian Ad Litem, on the Wilson Committee for Persons With Disabilities, and the MLK Jr. Commission. I have enjoyed a reputation as an efficient go-to person and have a knack for immediately establishing a good rapport with clients. With strong communication skills and dynamic presentation/public speaking style, let me also note that one of my greatest strengths is my ability to build relationships.

As a dually licensed LCSW/LCASA, I specialize in helping clients manage both mental health and substance abuse issues, with a strong focus on enhancing their overall quality of life. My approach incorporates various evidence-based practices, including CBT, solution-focused therapy, client-centered therapy, positive psychology, motivational interviewing, and strengths-based techniques, complemented by holistic methods to provide comprehensive care. My expertise includes but is not limited to working with adolescents and adults dealing with depression, anxiety, adjustment disorders, trauma, bipolar disorder, and more. My ideal client is ready to prioritize their mental wellbeing inside and outside sessions. I am passionate about providing an inviting space for clients to flourish. Impacting mindsets one session at a time, let’s work together to get you where you need to be!
