Dr Shelly Stolesen, PHD

At Explore Your Inner Ocean, we believe that you are innately healthy and motivated to change. Our mission is to help you break free from the constraints of your past and live a more enjoyable and fulfilling life. As a licensed psychologist, Shelly Stolesen, Ph. D., specializes in individual psychotherapy, anxiety and depression, life transitions, and compulsive behaviors, addiction, sobriety, and recovery. With a focus on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Control Mastery, we work with you to identify and challenge the underlying beliefs that are holding you back.

Our Approach

We understand that childhood experiences shape our beliefs and behaviors as adults. The beliefs you developed during your formative years may have helped you cope with difficult situations, but they can also limit your potential and prevent you from achieving your goals. Our therapy sessions are designed to help you explore your inner ocean, identify these beliefs, and develop new perspectives on old patterns of experiencing life. Through a safe and supportive environment, we empower you to take control of your life, prioritize your own needs, and live a more authentic and fulfilling existence.

Our Philosophy

We believe that therapy is a collaborative process between you and your therapist. Our goal is to create a safe and non-judgmental space where you feel comfortable exploring your thoughts, feelings, and experiences. We are committed to helping you develop a deeper understanding of yourself, identify areas for growth, and develop the skills and strategies necessary to achieve your goals.
