About us
I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Social Work from the University of Nevada Reno then proceeded to earn my Master’s Degree from Walden University with a concentration in Military Social Work. I specialize in Dialectical Behavior Therapy as well as utilizing Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy to help individuals work through traumatic events in their lives and build a tangible tool belt of skills to have the confidence to manage themselves, their relationships and life adversities.
SHELBY DEBORD
Therapy doesn’t have to be scary! I promise to always view you for the person you are sitting in front of me, not a case study. Through utilizing therapy as an emotional mirror, together we will work to reframe your perspectives and relationship with yourself highlighting your internal power through recognizing self accountability, resilient qualities and regaining autonomy over your life. My style is energetic and interactive, you won’t feel like you are talking to a wall. I am also direct and honest about the work that needs to be done but not without compassion and aim to create an environment where your wins are celebrated and life difficulties are met with warmth and safety.
MY APPROACH
NURTURE YOUR GROWTH
My Philosophy
Adopting the "oubaitori" attitude, I acknowledge that each person's journey is distinct, and personal development transpires at its own pace. In therapy, I strive to establish a loving environment where clients can find their feelings, identify their needs, and develop suitable coping tools. I use Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) and EMDR to foster resilience in clients and promote self-acceptance.
At Oubaitori Psychotherapy, I assert that treatment ought to be an interactive and stimulating process. I endeavor to establish an environment in which customers feel acknowledged and comprehended, and where their accomplishments are recognized. By altering viewpoints and emphasizing internal strengths, I assist clients in reclaiming ownership over their lives and confronting obstacles with assurance.
Similar to how each tree in "oubaitori" enhances the landscape with its distinct beauty, I urge clients to celebrate their originality and acknowledge their developmental journey. By providing empathetic and individualized treatment, I assist clients in realizing their fullest potential.
