I’m putting the finishing touches on the practice and look forward to connecting with you soon.

Welcome to Perennial Counseling!

Helping you bloom,

no matter the season.

Shelby Jo Reichle, Mental Health Therapist, LCSW

Shelby Jo Reichle, MSW, LCSW

I’m SJ (she/her), a licensed clinical social worker supporting teens and adults through life’s seasons.

I offer telehealth therapy across Indiana and in-person in Indianapolis!

I’m fueled by the idea of creating therapy with my clients that allows us both to show up authentically, with unconditional positive regard, while acknowledging and challenging the unfairness in the world. I also want us to notice the small joys—like snuggling a dog just after they’ve woken up—while approaching therapy in a way that truly meets each client’s needs, hopes, dreams, and current life circumstances.

I chose the name Perennial Counseling because perennials symbolize growth, resilience, endurance, and renewal. Perennials return season after season, sometimes boldly, other times rooting and restoring beneath the surface.

Perennial Counseling is a space rooted in acceptance:

Neurodivergent-friendly

LGBTQIA+ affirming

Body-positive

Culturally humble

Grow at your own pace.

Healing isn’t linear, and growth doesn’t happen all at once.

At Perennial Counseling, I offer therapy that honors where you are right now while gently supporting where you’d like to go. Like perennial plants that return season after season, you’re allowed to come back to yourself, deepen your roots, and continue growing—no matter what season of life you’re in.

This won’t look like traditional therapy. Traditional therapy was designed with one population, one kind of person, one kind of diagnosis in mind. That’s not enough. My role as your therapist is to take evidence-based practices and adapt them to fit you—your needs, your strengths, your passions, and your unique story. Therapy here will be accessible, understandable, and even enjoyable.

Whether you’re navigating anxiety, burnout, life transitions, or healing from trauma, my job is to nurture your growth with compassion, curiosity, and steady support.

Find what you need.

Nurture. Heal. Grow.
