SHELBY ARONOFF

In my work with clients, I value empowerment, respect for others, and compassion.

I provide teens therapy, young adult counseling, counseling and therapy for adults and family therapy, working with people ages 13 and older. 

I value the idea that healing, processing, and growth impacts our ability to successfully connect with those around us and work collaboratively with clients to help them make changes you want to see. 

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 received training through EMDR of the Rockies and am an EMDR therapist.

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