Shirley Nedock, LPC-S
In-person and Telehealth
My professional experience includes over 13 years of experience working with our military service members and their dependents working through deployments, suicide, multiple relocation’s, marital issues, PTSD and other issues that military families face. In addition, I have worked with families, teens and children on multiple issues such as depression, anxiety, family issues, divorce, substance abuse, anger management, grief and loss, parenting skills, domestic violence, and adolescent issues.
I know that making the decision to contact a therapist can be difficult for some and my goal is to make the process as welcoming as possible. My approach to therapy is solution-focused and collaborative. You will find that sessions are more like a warm conversation in an office setting.
I believe that everyone is motivated to succeed given the right tools in a safe and warm comfortable environment. I tend to use cognitive behavioral therapy or solution-focused therapy to help people overcome irrational and/or unhealthy thought patterns. I would love to help you overcome obstacles in your life and move forward.

Hannalore Mueller, Intern

In-person and Telehealth
Hello! My name is Hannalore, and I am a graduate student in the Clinical Mental Health Counseling department at Lamar University. My passion for mental well-being and improvement started early in my life, and it has taken me down many paths–more specifically, it guided me into the field of education. Teaching gave me an avenue for helping before I understood how much more I could be doing in the world of counseling by focusing on mental health directly.
As I make this journey, my hope is to embrace the diversity of people who walk through my door and to serve their needs in a way that enriches their life (both immediate and long-term). Regardless of the type of situation you’re in, your mental well-being matters greatly and I will always do my best to serve you.
