My name is Shelly Mark Lewin, and I am deeply honored to be joining the team of therapists at better help. I have 30 years of experience working with individuals, groups, and families in a variety of settings including private practice, healthcare systems and private organizations. My work is informed by my own personal life experience with mental health challenges, and my goal is always to provide you with support and guidance during difficult times and on your healing journey.
I am genuinely interested in healing human pain and suffering. I want you to live your best life. It takes courage to change behaviors and thoughts you’ve lived with for a lifetime, but you can heal.
Therapy does work and psychological treatments are backed by science, however it takes repeated efforts and practice to change.
Your mental health including your psychological, emotional, and social well-being has an impact on every aspect of your life. Positive mental health essentially allows you to effectively deal with life’s everyday challenges. My therapy style is tailored to the needs of an individual and my approach is holistic, spiritual, and integrative.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
