SHELBY ARONOFF

I work collaboratively with clients by creating a safe space that allows you to value yourself as a person, find your strengths, and process any past or present challenges or traumas that you are facing in your life.

Before my journey in social work began, I worked as a technical recruiter for several years. That work taught me how to connect with people, identify their strengths, and set achievable goals for individuals who sought out my support.

Through this, I recognized the importance of building trust in relationships with my clients and in responding with empathy. 
 
I learned how to provide obtainable resources within the community and act as a mediator for both the employers and the employees, ensuring communication existed in a healthy and productive way.

I loved collaborating with my clients and assisting them in finding employment. However, it was at this time I realized that I always desired to help people in all aspects of their lives. 

I received my Bachelor’s in Fine Arts and my Master’s in Social Work From the University of Denver with an emphasis on trauma and mental health. I have advanced training in ADHD, have received training through EMDR of the Rockies and a practicing EMDR therapist and am a Certified Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapist through Elemental Psychedelics.

I have worked with people of all ages and and take a trauma-informed approach to my clinical work. 

Background

Shelby specializes in therapy for neurodivergent women and teen girls who have ADHD, Autism, anxiety, depression, and trauma. 

For young adult women in Denver, therapy can be a space to build healthier coping skills, manage stress, and increase confidence. We’ll work on developing tools that support long-term growth, self-awareness, and a more positive outlook on life.

I also offer therapy for teen girls in Denver who may be struggling with anxiety, depression, neurodivergence, or identity challenges. I help teens build emotional resilience, communicate more effectively, and gain tools to feel more confident in who they are—through patience, creativity, and hands-on learning.

You don’t have to carry it all alone. Let’s walk this path toward healing and growth—together.
