Shelby Pupo, M.Ed, LPC, NCC
If you’re looking for a therapist in Homewood, IL, you may
be feeling overwhelmed, emotionally drained, or struggling to adjust to a new
stage of life. Whether you’re navigating motherhood, postpartum changes, grief,
or a major life transition, it can feel isolating and hard to manage on your
own. I specialize in helping teens and adults – specially new and expecting
moms – work through anxiety, depression, and life changes so you can feel more
balanced, supported, and in control.
Who I Help
I work with teens (14+) and adults who may be:
- Adjusting
to pregnancy, postpartum, or new motherhood
- Feeling
overwhelmed, anxious, or emotionally exhausted
- Navigating
grief, loss, or major life transitions

support making sense of it all.

As a therapist in Homewood, IL, I specialize in:
- Motherhood,
postpartum, and perinatal mental health
- Anxiety
and emotional overwhelm
- Depression
and mood challenges
- Grief
and loss
- Life
transitions and adjustment
I use a person-centered approach along with evidence-based
therapies like CBT, narrative therapy, bibliotherapy, Internal Family Systems
and solution-focused techniques to support meaningful change.
My Approach
My approach is warm, supportive, and collaborative. I
believe therapy should be a space where you feel heard, understood, and
empowered to guide your own healing process.
In our work together, we will:
- Process
emotions in a safe, non-judgmental space
- Identify
patterns that contribute to stress or overwhelm
- Build
practical coping strategies for daily life
- Support
you through transitions with clarity and confidence
I take time to understand your story, so therapy feels
personalized and meaningful.

compassionate, supportive environment
- Practical
tools to manage anxiety, depression, and stress
- Space
to process grief, motherhood, or life changes
- A pace
that feels comfortable for you
My goal is to help you feel more grounded, balanced, and
