About Embraced Therapy

Welcome, You deserve to feel seen, supported, and whole.

Hi, I’m Angela Shelley, a Marriage and Family Therapist and the founder of Embraced Therapy. I work with individuals and couples who are ready to explore their relationships, desires, identities, and emotional lives with honesty and care. I believe therapy is a sacred space — one where your full self is not just welcomed, but embraced.

A Bit About Me

I wear many hats — therapist, mother, partner, homeschooler, business owner, choir singer, lifelong learner. I understand how complex life can be because I live it too. I know what it’s like to be the one holding everything together while also trying to hold onto yourself.

I’ve been told I bring a grounded presence and a sense of humor into my work. I believe in laughter, in rest, in boundaries, in connection, and in the power of people to transform when given the right environment. I don't believe in perfection — I believe in progress, in practice, and in people who are brave enough to keep showing up for themselves.

Why "Embraced"?

I chose the name Embraced Therapy because I want my clients to feel just that — embraced. Not just tolerated, or understood, but truly accepted and supported. My goal is for you to feel grounded, empowered, and reconnected — to your relationships, your body, your purpose, and your truth.

Who I Work With

I love working with people navigating:
  • Relationship challenges and communication issues
  • Desire differences and sexual intimacy concerns
  • Healing from religious or relational trauma
  • Identity exploration (sexuality, gender, neurodivergence, etc.)
  • Life transitions, burnout, and rediscovering your voice
I work with adults and couples of all backgrounds and orientations. I provide LGBTQIA+ affirming, sex-positive, kink-aware, and neurodivergent-affirming therapy. You don’t have to explain your existence here — I meet you where you are.

Let's Connect

If you’re feeling stuck, disconnected, overwhelmed, or unsure where to begin — I’m here to walk alongside you. You don’t have to do this alone. I offer in-person sessions in Denver and online therapy throughout Colorado.
