Salina Shelton, MA, LPC-AT, ATR-BC

Licensed Professional Counselor, Therapist, Art Therapist
Salina is not accepting new clients at this time.

I’m Salina and I am the founder and CEO of HopeWise. As a Licensed Professional Counselor and Board-Certified Art Therapist, I am committed to helping people heal and create happier, healthier lives. I am also a certified MARI practitioner and trained in EMDR for chronic pain and trauma.

In an effort to support the chronic pain community, and help others find healing, I founded the Chronic Pain Resource Center in 2017. This nonprofit offers free support groups for adults and parents of teens with chronic pain.

I have a passion for healing the mind and body through mindfulness and self-care practices. Art and yoga formed the foundation of my healing journey. I continue to enjoy these activities outside of work. I am a mother to two beautiful daughters and wife to a wonderful husband. In ideal circumstances, my family and I enjoy annual trips to the Texas Renaissance Festival.

The Journey

Sometimes you can't get there on your own
Sometimes you've tried all you can
Sometimes the obstacles seem just too big
Sometimes you get lost along the way
Sometimes the world gets in the way
Sometimes you wonder if you're walking in the wrong direction
Let's walk together a while
