About
Founded by Shelby John, the practice serves Maryland and Florida. With a focus on root cause healing, they use modern, neurologically-based practices to address the root causes of anxiety, trauma, and addiction. Their approach incorporates natural wellness concepts and harnesses the power of neuroplasticity to retrain the brain from a constant state of fight or flight to a state of ease and peace. Shelby John, the founder, has 26 years of experience in human services and is EMDR-trained since 2015. The practice offers various services, including weekly therapy, EMDR intensives, remote neurofeedback, and ketamine-assisted psychotherapy. Their team of experts, including Valerie Reynolds and Wendy Kelly, LCSW-C, provide evidence-based, brain-based mental health care to help individuals break free from anxiety, trauma, and addiction.
