A NOTE FROM THE FOUNDER

Finding Healing

I have always believed that healing happens when we treat the entire person—not just symptoms, diagnoses, or isolated parts.

Long before I became a psychologist, I imagined a place where every room cared for a different part of us: a therapy room, a medical office, a space for movement, rest, and reconnection. I didn’t yet have the language for it, but I understood something intuitively—that the mind, body, and nervous system are inseparable, and that true healing requires attending to all of them with care.

That belief was shaped early on. I grew up with a father who was a physician and a mother who was a psychologist, and from the beginning I was drawn to work that honored both the biological and the emotional. My early training as a yoga teacher deepened this understanding and laid the foundation for what has become central to my clinical work: the body is not separate from the brain. It is one of our most powerful tools for healing. Our bodies truly keep the score.

Shelov Psychology Group (SPG) is the living expression of this philosophy.

We understand people as complex, adaptive systems—made up of thoughts, emotions, biology, history, and lived experience. Healing happens most effectively when clinicians work collaboratively, communicate openly, and see the whole person rather than just the part they are trained to treat. At SPG, psychiatry and therapy work together under one roof whenever possible, creating an integrated model of care that supports lasting change and nervous-system stability.

Our team is made up of clinicians who believe deeply in the possibility of transformation. We are grounded in evidence-based practice, open to innovation, and unafraid to question outdated narratives about mental health, eating, and the body. We honor what is known, remain curious about what is emerging, and approach our work with humility, rigor, and compassion.

Most importantly, we believe that healing should not happen in isolation. Working with us means you are supported, understood, and not alone.

Welcome.

What Sets Us Apart?

—

Over the years, we have witnessed the disconnect between therapists and psychiatrists.

There is an evident problem with care coordination due to various factors: limited provider contact, difficulty getting appointments, and potential mismanagement in an overloaded, complex system. Integrating therapy and psychiatry is at the core of the highest-quality mental health care. The best approach to mental health care is when providers work as a team. Recognizing that patients are best served when therapy and psychiatry are connected is our driving force at SPG. Our patients are given unparalleled clinical care.

Here at SPG, we care for the whole patient.

Our providers approach all of our patients from a multi-disciplinary and comprehensive picture. Our weekly patient meetings, involving each of our therapists and psychiatrists, ensure that our patient's care is up to the minute. A seamless flow of information between mental health providers ensures that there is no downtime or confusion. Trust us- we are committed to ensuring you get your life back. The goal is not to be in therapy or on medication forever. The goal is for you to feel better, feel safe in the process, and begin to feel true joy again.
