About

I’m Shelly Gessler, owner of Willow Therapeutic. My path to becoming a counselor was unconventional, rooted in a deep connection to nature. Whether hiking, camping, or kayaking, I found a sense of balance and meaning in the outdoors that I felt moved to bring into everyday life. This journey led me to study mindfulness, yoga, and eventually clinical mental health counseling, focusing on how we can live more fully when our mind and body are truly aligned. I use an integrative toolkit to help clients heal. We may explore the unconscious with Jungian-informed psychotherapy and guided art therapy; regulate your nervous system through yoga and/or mindfulness; explore attachment-based techniques; and, for couples, foster deeper communication through emotionally-focused methods.
