Shelly Reed
Psychologist
Don't be shy...I've heard it all ;) I offer a warm and non-judgmental space to work through the things that have been holding you back.
I am a licensed psychologist and owner of Freedom Psychological Center. I have been treating clients in residential, academic, hospital, community, medical and private practice settings for the last 17 years. I treat individuals and couples in English or Spanish through the framework of CBT, DBT, EMDR, behavioral medicine, motivational interviewing, and spiritually oriented psychotherapy. My desire is to establish a safe and supportive therapeutic environment to address the core and underlying issues associated with your current struggles. My goal is for you to be heard and understood, challenged and encouraged as you gain insight and practical tools to break problematic cycles and navigate your way to a satisfying and full life. Freedom Psychological Center is the premiere center for psychological wellness, conveniently located to serve children, adolescents, and adults in the Phoenix valley and beyond. With highly skilled clinicians who specialize in the full range of mental health concerns, there is someone at Freedom Psychological Center who is equipped to see you through your current struggle to the freedom you desire. Committed to excellence. Committed to your freedom.
