Support that meets you where you are
You absolutely deserve to feel joy and to live without the constant weight of anxiety, conflict, or perfectionism. Therapy doesn’t have to be another item on your to-do list. With concierge therapy, support adapts to your life — discreet, flexible, and designed around your needs.
Therapy Services
You don’t have to figure it all out alone.
Therapy can help you feel more grounded, connected, and supported as you navigate what’s next.
Therapy is designed for individuals, couples, and professionals seeking support for emotional, relational, or mental health concerns. Services are available in person in Newport Beach and virtually across California.
Individual Therapy: support for anxiety, depression, perfectionism, and life transitions.
Couples Therapy: support with communication, conflict, and relational disconnection.
Therapy for Teens & Young Adults: addressing stress, identity development, and emotional overwhelm.
Therapy for Professionals: confidential support for therapists, medical providers, influencers, and other high-responsibility roles.
Trauma Therapy / EMDR: evidence-based approaches to support trauma recovery and nervous system regulation.
Executive Coaching
For professionals and clinicians seeking structured, forward-focused support outside of therapy.
In addition to psychotherapy services, I offer executive and business coaching for individuals navigating leadership, professional growth, and high-level decision-making.
Coaching is appropriate for those who are not seeking mental health treatment but want thoughtful guidance, strategic clarity, and accountability as they move through transitions or expand their work.
Executive & Professional Coaching: support for high-responsibility professionals seeking clarity, leadership development, and sustainable performance without burnout.
Clinician Coaching: guidance for therapists building or refining private practices, navigating capacity, or making values-aligned business decisions.
Coaching is collaborative, clearly distinguished from therapy, and designed to support growth with structure and discretion.
Therapy designed for you.
Personalized, flexible therapy designed around your life—grounded in trust, compassion, and clinical expertise.
Why Choose Concierge Therapy?
Therapy is a highly personal process, and it’s important to work with a clinician you can trust. My concierge practice is designed for clients who value individualized, flexible support: care that extends beyond a single weekly session and adapts to your unique needs.
With over 20 years of clinical experience, I integrate evidence-based approaches such as CBT, DBT, EMDR, mindfulness, and psychodynamic work, delivered with warmth and intention.
Clients often describe my approach as:
A careful, non-judgmental listener
A clinician who balances expertise with genuine care
Flexible with scheduling, including evenings and weekends
Grounded in both clinical skill and authentic human connection
Healing is not one-size-fits-all, and your support shouldn’t be either.
Ready to Take the First Step?
If you’ve been putting off therapy because you’re too busy, overwhelmed, or unsure where to start, you’re not alone. Concierge therapy offers personalized support that fits seamlessly into your life — not the other way around.

“Shelby has a miraculous gift of listening carefully, and without judgment. Every time I meet with Shelby, I feel validated, heard, and cared for. Shelby is the perfect balance of expert and heart. She is a leader in her field but maintains a warmth that I so appreciate. The perfect balance for a therapist.
Since working with her, my anxiety has been greatly reduced, and I feel better than I have in months. As a busy working Mother, it felt impossible to commit to therapy because I simply didn't have the time to drive to appointments. Her phone sessions and flexible schedule were the answer to my prayers! I cannot recommend her enough.”

What’s new on the Blog
Anxiety is not a flaw.
It’s a nervous system response to chronic pressure, unrealistic expectations, and emotional overload. And here in Orange County, moms are navigating a very specific combination of stressors that quietly amplify anxiety — even in women who look like they’re “doing great” from the outside.
Why Orange County Moms Struggle With Anxiety (and what helps)
Orange County Moms are under constant pressure to do it all and look good doing it. In this post, I break down why anxiety is so common among OC mothers — and what actually helps, from a therapist’s perspective.
Because managing anxiety isn’t about trying harder, it’s about understanding what your nervous system actually needs.
