Hello • Bonjour • Boozhoo
I’m Shelley Heavens, Registered Social Worker, Integrative Psychotherapist, and founder of Heavens Counselling & Wellness.
I believe healing happens when we feel safe enough to be seen, heard, and understood. My approach is trauma-informed, compassionate, and grounded in cultural humility, honouring the connection between mind, body, spirit, and nervous system.
With over 30 years of experience, I support adults and youth (16+) navigating trauma, PTSD, anxiety, depression, grief, burnout, chronic stress, life transitions, chronic pain, and relationship challenges. I bring both professional expertise and lived experience to my work, recognizing that healing is not about becoming someone different—it’s about reconnecting with who you are beneath the pain, stress, and survival strategies.
I use an integrative approach tailored to each client, drawing from EMDR, Clinical Hypnotherapy, parts work, mindfulness, nervous system regulation, somatic approaches, and solution-focused therapy.
My goal is to create a warm, welcoming space where you feel safe, supported, and accepted exactly as you are.
Together, we can:
• Root in safety, self-awareness, and connection
• Rise through healing, growth, and meaningful change
• Thrive by building resilience and creating a life that feels more aligned and fulfilling
Because healing is not about fixing what is broken.
It’s about remembering who you are.
With Unconditional Positive Regard,
Shelley
