Shelby Terrell (she/her), LMSW, is a dedicated sex, relationship, and psychedelic therapist and coach with expertise in LGBTQIA+ issues, ethical non-monogamy/polyamory, kink, and restructuring beliefs around religious or purity culture. She works with individuals, couples, and people across diverse relationship structures—whether friends, coworkers, families, or romantic partners—navigating challenges such as anxiety, depression, life transitions, shame, judgment, communication struggles, vulnerability, and more.

Shelby’s approach is rooted in collaboration, compassion, empathy, and curiosity, fostering a safe and supportive environment to help clients on their journey toward growth and connection.

In addition to her therapeutic work, Shelby serves as a Certified Intimacy Coordinator for TV and film, promoting a culture of consent and helping create responsible, authentic depictions of sex in media.

In New York, I work under Rachel Wright at Shame Free Therapy.

FAQ

Do you offer sliding scale rates?
I do! If you are seeking therapy and/or coaching and are experiencing financial difficulties, please don't let that be a barrier to reaching out to me. I'm happy to share my sliding scale with you if I have space in my case load.
Do you accept insurance?
I do not. However, if you live in New York or New Jersey, I can provide the information for you to submit to your insurance for reimbursement. That being said, I cannot promise you will be reimbursed.
