Therapy for a More Authentic, Sustainable Life

Concierge Therapy in Newport Beach & Across California

For individuals, couples, and high-achieving professionals navigating anxiety, perfectionism, relationship challenges, and life transitions.

Therapy That Fits Your Life.

When anxiety, perfectionism, or relationship challenges begin to take up too much space in your life, therapy can help you find a different way forward. With concierge care tailored to your needs, therapy fits into your life—not the other way around.

Therapy Services

You don’t have to figure it all out alone.

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.

Personalized, Flexible care

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.

“Shelby is the perfect balance of expertise and heart. I always feel heard, validated, and cared for without judgment. Since working with her, my anxiety has significantly decreased. As a busy working mom, her flexible scheduling and phone sessions made therapy possible. I cannot recommend her enough.”
