Licensed Professional Counselor - Associate, Texas #98960
Shelby Mersbach, MS, NCC, LPC-Associate
Supervised by Nichole Lecznar, MS, LPC-S
Shelby Mersbach specializes in collaborating with those in the neurodivergent population, individuals with intellectual disabilities, anxiety, depression, social issues, low self-esteem, and body image challenges. She received her Masters in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the University of North Texas and her undergraduate degree from Texas A&M. Through the combination of evidenced-based treatment and creativity, Shelby strives to empower and collaborate with every client on their individual journey.
At the start of her career in the non-profit sector, Shelby consistently observed a lack of specialized care accessible to those with neurodivergent identities, leading her to pursue a career in counseling to help fill the gap between the need for culturally competent counseling and advocacy for the valuable perspectives of unique individuals. Through using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness, and individualized integrated approaches, she hopes to help clients reach the core of their challenges and gain understanding of their thought processes. This allows for clients to be equipped with skills to address their needs and be empowered in their strengths. Shelby implements evidenced approaches specific to each client’s goals, including social skills, mindfulness, somatic exercises, expressive arts, play therapy, and other evidence-based frameworks.
She is equipped and excited to work with adults of all ages, children, adolescents, and groups.
