Shelley Goodell, MA, LPC

I help couples, high-conflict families, and individuals move beyond recurring conflict and reconnect. Drawing on the Gottman Method, Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), and somatic therapy, I help clients understand what’s driving the conflict, calm the body’s stress response, and build lasting tools for communication, repair, and trust. Sessions are available in-office, virtually, or in your home.

I work with couples, high-conflict families, and individuals. For couples, maybe you're having the same argument for the hundredth time, or you've stopped arguing and feel more like roommates than partners. For families, maybe home feels tense, conversations turn into battles, and someone always ends up feeling blamed or unheard. People rarely come to therapy because they don't care. They come because they care deeply and don't know how to reach each other anymore. That's where we begin. My role is to help you slow down, understand what's really happening beneath the conflict, and find your way back to feeling like a team.
I help couples break painful cycles and reconnect. Using the Gottman Method and EFT, we'll uncover what's driving conflict and build tools for communication, repair, and trust. My somatic therapy training helps you notice and calm the body's stress response, so hard conversations feel safer. Sessions available in-office, virtually, or in your home.
Reaching out when your relationship is hurting takes courage, and it often means you still care. You don't have to have the right words or know where to start. Together we'll slow things down and find a path forward. If you're ready to feel like a team again, reach out and let's take the first step together.
