Shelley Harvill
DClinPsy, NZ Registered Clinical Psychologist, Clinical Manager.
Originating from the Mississippi delta of the southern United States, Dr. Shelley Harvill is highly experienced at group facilitation within natural environments and amongst diverse cultures as her early career was in outdoor education. After helping to build and direct a community integration programme for people living with serious mental illness, in 2010 Shelley obtained a Doctorate of Psychology degree and completed post grad work in Nova Scotia Canada.
Dr. Harvill is now a NZ registered clinical psychologist and has served in the role of Clinical Manager at Te Whare Mahana's National DBT Service since 2016. Being an integration of western and eastern psychological philosophies and backed by strong research, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) became one of Shelley’s preferred therapeutic models to help people make in-depth changes in their lives. Dr. Harvill has also developed expertise with integrating
prolonged exposure therapy with DBT, and has training in EMDR, to help clients with PTSD recover meaningful lives.
Other strong interests include life enhancing approaches such as found in positive psychology and through exploring sexuality, identity, orientation and alternative relationship frameworks (e.g., ethical non-monogamy). Shelley's private practice includes a focus on these rainbow related issues.
