My name is Shelby Spaulding, and I am a Marriage and Family Therapist Associate and the soon to be owner of Bloomwell Counseling Studio, a space created for people in every season of life. I have always been drawn to work that centers people and connection, and I value seeing the whole picture, including how stress, anxiety, perfectionism, and relationships overlap, so clients can learn to problem-solve without feeling defined by what they are going through. 

I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Child and Family Services from Abilene Christian University and my Master’s in Marriage and Family Therapy from Texas Wesleyan University. I work with individuals, couples, and families, and I am especially passionate about supporting women, premarital couples, and the LGBTQIA+ community through growth, identity, and life transitions. 

My approach is warm, collaborative, and intentional. I use Narrative and Solution-Focused approaches to help clients explore their experiences, separate from the problems they are facing, and build practical tools for change. I strive to create a space where you feel seen, supported, and gently challenged. 

I am Prepare/Enrich certified (2025) and offer structured, research-based support for couples and premarital partners looking to strengthen communication and build a strong foundation.
