Our Team

Welcome! I am Nacera Bendelhoum, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist #51835 and founder of SHIFT. I have a Master of Science in clinical psychology. I have worked in community mental health since 2008 providing therapy to adults, children, couples, families, and groups. I provide clinical supervision to associate therapists on their journey to licensure and various seminars and workshops to the general community

I am trained and certified in many evidence based therapy models which I use to enrich the services I provide. My therapeutic approach involves:

  • Processing emotions and learning healthy ways to regulate discomfort.
  • Understanding and growing how you relate to yourself and others.
  • Processing traumatic experiences that cause distress and impact functioning/growth.
  • Identifying areas where you feel stuck then changing thought patterns and unhelpful beliefs that contribute.
  • Learning and practicing new skills related to meeting your goals.

I am inspired by the Quranic verse: “God does not change the condition of a people unless they change what is in themselves” (Quran 13:11). I am passionate about normalizing the need for mental health education/services for all. I envision a vibrant community where we treat wounds, difficulties and discord with the same care and attention we treat physical challenges in our lives. Join me in creating a SHIFT!
