Christian Therapist & Life Coach Serving Women in Maryland
You've been everyone else's person.
It's time to be yours.
I’m Shelly Yost, a Maryland-licensed therapist specializing in counseling for women navigating anxiety, burnout, and identity loss. For over 20 years, I’ve helped women untangle the patterns keeping them stuck through a blend of clinical therapy, faith-informed care, and honest conversations that actually create change.
Not in Maryland? I offer private coaching nationwide. Keep scrolling.
IF YOU'VE LANDED HERE…
You're not burned out because you're weak. You're burned out because you've been last on your own list for too long.
You wake up already behind. You move through the day checking boxes for everyone else. And somewhere in the middle of all of it, you look in the mirror and don't quite recognize the woman looking back.
You're not in crisis. But you're not okay either.
You've told yourself 'my problems aren't that bad.' You've said 'I'll deal with this when things slow down.' You've given everything to your family, your job, your marriage and quietly wondered if there's anything left for you.
There is. And you deserve more than just surviving.

MEET SHELLY
I've sat with thousands of women in their hardest seasons. I know what it looks like when a woman has stopped being on her own list.
I'm Shelly Yost, Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW-C) with over 20 years of clinical experience. I've run counseling clinics, trained therapists, and spent decades in the room with women who were carrying far more than anyone knew.
My work is clinically grounded and faith-informed. I believe God created you as a whole person not just a role to fill. And I believe the woman you were made to be is still in there. Sometimes she just needs someone to help her find her footing again.
I don't do generic advice. I don't do toxic positivity. I do real, honest, deeply human work the kind that actually changes things.
LCSW-C Licensed Clinical Social Worker · 20+ Years Clinical Experience · Founder, New Rhythm Co · Former Multi-Practice Clinic Owner · Gottman Method. As a Christian counselor and licensed therapist in Maryland, I bring both clinical training and faith-informed care to every session — because you should never have to choose between the two.
HOW I WORK
This isn't about adding more to your plate. It's about understanding what's been weighing it down.
Clinically Grounded
I am a licensed therapist, not just a coach with a certification. Everything I do is built on 20 plus years of clinical training and real world practice. You get more than advice. You get a framework that actually works.
Faith-Informed
I believe you were created with purpose. Your worth is not tied to how much you produce or how well you hold everyone else together. That foundation shapes how I show up with every woman I work with.
Practically Honest
I am not here to validate your patterns. I am here to help you change them. My clients describe our work as the first time someone was honest with them and gentle about it at the same time.
WAYS TO WORK TOGETHER
Wherever you are, there is a next step.

You don't have to figure this out alone.
