Signs and Soul Callings of Midlife Malaise

Do you resonate with any of these challenges?

Or you are experiencing another kind of grief. It may be a sudden loss or a slow, unrelenting sorrow or trauma that has its roots in the distant past.
You feel raw and spent even when you know you have to be strong for others; holding yourself “together,” especially now, can be so hard and exhausting.

You feel like you are standing on the rubble heap of a life that no longer fits or even makes sense.
You are waking up to the deeper purpose and meaning of your life. Even though you may still feel lost or disoriented, you are determined to find your True North and get unstuck.
You are recovering from the overwhelming oppression someone else’s anger, pain, and their need to shape you into something else. Are you seeking skillful and savvy support while you heal and plot a new course for your life?
You are seeking new strategies for self-love and honoring your sovereign self. It’s time to value the brilliant wisdom of your lived experiences.
You are dealing with a death, a divorce, an empty nest, or some other major shift in identity. Your life has been about other people for so long - your children, your parents, your partner. You keep asking yourself, “Shouldn’t I have the answers now?” or “Why am still struggling so much?”
You feel anxious or depressed and are asking yourself, “Is this all there is?!” You don’t even recognize yourself in the mirror anymore.
You are ready to bust through the limiting beliefs of menopause as being the beginning of “the end.” You are ready to claim your pleasure, health, and joy at every age and stage of your life!

“Everything you’ve ever wanted
is on the other side of fear. ”

— George Addair

Amidst all the uncertainty and Even when life feels painful and Messy…
I will offer you a safe place to feel our own edges and recenter.

Imagine a safe place where you are held and cared for in a way that allows you to “let down” or “fall apart” so you can actually access insight to your deepest strength to prevail.

Whether it feels to you like the world is on pause or just ramping up… YOU MATTER!

Let’s help you claim your resilience &
“re-member” yourself whole again.

I know first hand that life can be complicated, messy and downright heartbreaking.

My name is Shelby Frago, and I am a private practice psychotherapist and active artist living in the Pacific Northwest. If we work together, you may also come to know me as a Heart Holder, a Soul Listener, and Witness and Companion to your Grief. In other words, my passion is to hold a respectful and nurturing space for you to heal deeply ~ despite the pain and messiness of being human.

I have deep respect and appreciation for how your life experiences and circumstances have shaped your perception and beliefs about yourself and your relationships. My approach is also trauma-informed and rooted in learning how the adverse and detrimental experiences of your life have impacted your ability to access your most potent efficacy, agency, and satisfaction.

At its essence,
therapy is about Helping You liberate yourself from the outlived stories,
limiting beliefs, and undigested pain
that holds you back from
claiming the Amazing life you desire.

You have precious wisdom, and a unique voice that the world needs. As uncomfortable as these trials can be, I will help you understand your pain and discomfort as an invitation and a Call to Awaken to the profound purpose and meaning of you!
