I’m really glad you’re here.

Hi, I’m Shelly

Founder of Worth Counseling Group here in Lafayette, Louisiana.

I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor and National Certified Counselor, with advanced training in trauma, integrative mental health, and women’s health. My work is rooted in the belief that healing isn’t just something we think through—it’s something we experience in the body, in our relationships, and in the way we move through our daily lives.

I’m trained in EMDR, a powerful, evidence-based approach that helps process and release stored trauma, and I hold certifications as a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional, Certified Integrative Mental Health Provider, and Certified Mental Health & Nutrition Clinical Specialist. This allows me to support women not only emotionally, but holistically—considering how stress, hormones, nutrition, and life experiences all intersect.

I specialize in working with women who often feel like they’re holding everything together on the outside, while internally feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or exhausted. Whether it’s navigating life transitions, managing the impact of stress on the body, or working through past experiences that still feel present, my goal is to create a space where you can slow down, feel safe, and begin to reconnect with yourself in a deeper, more compassionate way.

At Worth Counseling Group, we believe in creating ripples—small, intentional moments of care that lead to lasting change over time.

This year, I’m continuing to expand my education and clinical work, with a focus on deepening how I serve women in more integrative and meaningful ways.

I’m really glad you’re here.
