Hi there! My name is Shelby Hetherington and I am a Licensed Clinical Social worker. I currently am located and work in-person and virtually in Colorado. I studied psychology and public health in undergrad while also volunteering for a crisis and suicide hotline during the school year and in the summers interning at Domestic Abuse Services and helping with their hotline, supporting clients in court, shadowing sessions and intakes, as well as aiding in documentation. I moved out to Colorado in 2020 to pursue my Masters of Social Work at the University of Denver and focused on trauma and mental health. In my first year, I interned at The Bridge Project, providing conducting online classes in Social and Emotional Learning to kids in housing projects as well as providing case management to kids 6-13. In my second year, I interned at Animal Assisted Therapy Programs of Colorado and was eventually hired on as a full-time clinician. There, I learned all about animal assisted therapies, interventions, and techniques and was able to discover who I am as a clinician. A the end of 2022, I decided to venture out on my own and started my practice: All Ears Therapy Center! I primarily utilize relational and interpersonal psychotherapy. I believe the relationship between therapist and client is one of the most healing components of doing deep, therapeutic work; being able to receive corrective emotional experiences, feeling validated, heard and seen, safe, and challenged when appropriate. I will incorporate components of CBT and DBT and will also utilize play and art therapies as well as filial pet therapy. I work closely with those that experienced turbulent childhoods as well as those that may not remember much of childhood but are not sure why because "it wasn't THAT bad". My goal is to help you understand yourself and your nervous system and find new ways to navigate life and relationships in a way that most benefits you and allows you to move through the harder cycles. Please reach out to set up a free 15-minute consultation to see if I am a good fit for you!
