Shelby Orvedal, MA, LPC Associate

Before sowing my seeds in Austin, I grew up in the quaint town of Las Vegas, Nevada! I received my BA from the University of Nevada Las Vegas Nevada, then decided to move to the beautiful state of Texas for grad school. Here in Austin, I received my MA from St. Edward's University. I have experience working with adults, teenagers, and families. I’ve worked in settings ranging from community mental health to private practice, supporting clients through grief, anxiety, complex trauma, and life transitions. My specialties are trauma/ PTSD, narcissistic abuse, and sex worker issues.

I currently provide therapy for adults and teenagers seeking to better understand themselves, heal from painful experiences, and build lives that feel authentic and self-directed. I’m especially passionate about helping people unlearn shame, reconnect with their bodies, and reclaim their voice after trauma. Nothing excites me more than watching someone step into their power.
