Shellene Hattersley, LCSW

Shellene Hattersley is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), a master’s-level, Florida-licensed mental health professional, who is dedicated to helping adults pursue meaningful and lasting change. She earned her Master of Social Work from the University of Central Florida in 2020 and became licensed in Florida in 2022. Her work in social services began in 2012, where she developed a strong commitment to supporting individuals and families through difficult seasons of life. Over the years, she has provided individual, group, and family therapy in community mental health settings, and later opened her own private practice.

Shellene focuses on helping adults work through concerns such as depression, anxiety, parenting challenges, and personal growth. She supports people who feel overwhelmed by intense emotions, caught in patterns that no longer serve them, or simply looking for more clarity, direction, and fulfillment. Her style aims to create a compassionate, supportive space where clients can build resilience and move toward the life they want.

Her work is strengths-based and trauma-informed, emphasizing that each person is more than what they are going through. She centers resilience, self-determination, and whole-person well-being, while tailoring therapy to each client’s needs. Shellene integrates evidence-based strategies while continuing to honor each client’s story and the strengths they already bring to the process. She also recognizes that starting therapy can feel intimidating and strives to move at a pace that feels comfortable and sustainable.
