Hi. I’m Dr. Shelley Long.
I work with teens, adults, and women who are navigating the kinds of life moments that make you pause and ask bigger questions — about who you are, where you’re headed, and what needs to change.
Maybe anxiety has crept in.
Maybe a relationship, career, or identity shift has left you feeling unsettled.
Maybe you’re rethinking your relationship with alcohol and wondering what life might look like on the other side of it.
Whatever brings you here, you don’t have to figure it out alone.
My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in real conversation. Together we slow things down, make sense of what’s happening beneath the surface, and help you reconnect with the version of yourself that feels steady, clear, and authentic.
Who I Work With
You might be here because something feels off — or because something is shifting.
Maybe you’re feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or stuck in patterns that aren’t working anymore. Maybe you’re in the middle of a transition — expected or not — and trying to find your footing. Maybe you’re questioning your relationship with alcohol and wondering what life could look like without it.
Or maybe you can’t quite name it. You just know something needs to change.
Wherever you are, this is a place to slow down, get honest, and start moving forward in a way that feels more grounded and aligned.
Teens & Young Adults
Navigating identity, anxiety, academic/career pressure, and the transition into adulthood. This is a time of becoming — and it can feel both exciting and overwhelming.
Midlife Adults
Relational, hormonal, and identify shifts can be a real cluster. Together we work through transitions, relationships, burnout, and the question of who you are now.
Sober/Sober-Curious
Exploring your relationship with alcohol — whether you’re cutting back, taking a break, or choosing sobriety. This work is about clarity, confidence, and building a life that feels more aligned.
