About Shelly Smith

As co-founder of Good Human Work, it\'s my goal to provide every one of our clients and team members with the support and care that they truly deserve. As a therapist-owned, women-owned business, we strive to cultivate an environment where everyone feels valued, supported, empowered, and protected.At Good Human Work, our primary focus is on mental health and human connection. Relationships are life. Therapy is provided through employers and organizations as a mental health benefit, as well as direct to the public through our private practice. Our expert licensed therapists provide an open and grounded space where they help create actionable insights and compassionate engagement, enabling people to build healthier connections between each other and within themselves. Our relational strategists deliver Business Therapy, and through our unique approach help organizations and startups create sustainable relationships and employee engagement at all levels. A personal passion of mine is to protect and support the mental health and relationships of entrepreneurs and business owners. Please reach out if there are opportunities for us to collaborate on this initiative.Our experiences in training therapists in telehealth and ethics since 2017 has opened doors for me to provide dynamic leadership across the United States, encouraging the future of the mental health field to be ethical, research-based, and ground-breaking.I have the pleasure of spending much of my time presenting and discussing mental health topics, including how we can improve our leadership, workplaces, and ultimately our lives, to be more human-centered.
