About Serene Guidance LLC - Shelly Bello, LMHC
In my practice, I prioritize mental and emotional well-being through personalized guidance and support. I am committed to fostering positive change and growth through a warm, judgement-free, holistically-based lens. I tend to be direct, as well as have a delicate appreciation for humor. My work over two decades has mainly been with children/parents- early childhood wellness in particular- but I enjoy working with individuals as well whom may be working through some tough point in their lives. I love helping others reach a higher level of awareness, confidence in utilizing their own coping skills and overall better mental health, as well as target any specific goals at hand.

Services Offered
Counseling/Therapy & Mental Health Wellness Coaching
I offer in-office and virtual professional counseling/therapy services to children and their families, as well as individuals through a local highly revered private group practice, Caring Therapists of Palm Beach, for those utilizing insurance.
I also offer Mental Health Wellness Coaching sessions or packages, or “tune ups” to offer the option of self-pay for clients that are a good fit for my expertise and/or are looking for just a few sessions, or “tune ups” after more intense or ongoing therapy. My general approach, whether working with a child and family, or an individual- integrates a holistic view in order to promote comprehensive healing and personal growth.
Parenting/Co-Parenting Coaching
There is no such thing as a perfect parent, or a perfect child, and we are often changing, despite being creatures of habit- we grow! I am here to support you with compassion and expertise, certified in a number of specialized courses for parenting assistance, with individualized parent coaching integrated. Each of these courses brings unique knowledge and practical skills to help you navigate life's inevitable parenthood challenges effectively. Some include: Triple P- Positive Parenting Program, Gottman’s Bringing Baby Home, and the court mandated/DCF approved Parent Education & Family Stabilization course for separating/divorcing parents.
NOTE: The courses can also be offered as small group workshops where available.
Qualified Supervision
I have been in the field for over 20 years, working primarily with children and parents, though I also have worked with emerging adults with equal passion. I have enjoyed supervisory positions the majority of my professional life and have been a Qualified Supervisor for about 5 years. I offer qualified supervision for Registered Mental Health Counselor Interns who may also share this passion for childhood wellness and/or parent/co-parent wellness in particular. I enjoy guiding my supervisees, watching them grow as professionals, and learning valuable things from them in return.
