Hi, I’m Shelley

RESILIENT. RESOURCEFUL.

STRAIGHT FORWARD.

and FUNNY.

Hi, I'm Shelley Brannon, a relational therapist, proud Gen Xer, and middle-aged mom. I’ve been doing this work long enough to know that what brings us into therapy comes down to connection: with ourselves and others.

I founded In Balance Counseling knowing that healing happens in connection. Whether you're repairing a relationship, going through a change, making sense of middle age, or need support for becoming a mom later in life, I see you.

Relationships Humans are wired for connection. When our most important relationships are strained, everything feels harder. I work with couples, adult siblings, parents and adult children, friends, and roommates — anyone who wants to show up differently in a relationship. As a relational therapist I will help you understand and change the patterns underneath conflict and disconnection, making your relationships less draining and more connecting.

Middle-Aged Women Middle-age brings up a lot of transitions - identity shifts, relationship changes, and career pivots. I walk with you through all of it.

Motherhood & Later-in-Life Moms I became a mother later in life, so I know this experience from the inside. The joy is bubbly, but the exhaustion, guilt, and sense that you're somehow behind or doing it wrong can be draining. I bring both clinical training and lived experience to this work, and I'm honored to walk alongside you in it.
