Shelly L. Hendley, NCC, LPC,

I provide specialized counseling for individuals navigating the challenges of neurodivergence, trauma, addiction, and life in cross-cultural contexts. My work integrates evidence-based methods such as Dialectical Behavior Therapy with faith-informed support for clients who wish to incorporate their Christian beliefs into therapy. With years of experience serving missionaries and their families, I understand the unique stressors of living and working in global ministry.

With training in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Christian counseling, and addiction recovery, I specialize in supporting clients with ASD, ADHD, trauma, addiction, and cross-cultural transitions. My approach blends evidence-based tools with compassionate, faith-informed care, helping you develop skills for emotional regulation, resilience, and healthy relationships.
I understand that your journey is shaped by your values, experiences, and unique context. Whether you are adjusting to a new culture, processing painful experiences, or learning to thrive as a neurodivergent individual, I offer guidance that honors both your story and your strengths.
