Welcome!

My name is Shelley L. Spivey, MA. I am a Board Certified Christian Therapist through the Board of Examiners for Georgia Christian Counselors and Therapists (02198639 expires 6/2021), specializing in child, young adult, and family concerns as it relates to autism. I graduated with a B.S. in Education (Cum Laude) from Liberty University in Lynchburg, Virginia and a M.A. in Marriage and Family Therapy from Northcentral University in Arizona after transferring from the Mercer University School of Medicine Marriage and Family Therapy program in Macon, Georgia. I completed a post-masters certificate from Liberty University in pastoral counseling/addiction and recovery process.

I have over 25 years of experience, working with the families and children in the Southwest and Central Georgia areas. Prior to moving to Houston County, I worked at Palmyra Park Hospital in Albany, Georgia for Rehab Associates as an Occupational Tech. After attending graduate school I worked with women in a residential treatment facility at Gateway Cottage, a division of Hodac, Inc., in Warner Robins. I also worked at Grace Village, a homeless rehabilitative facility, in Perry. Afterwards, I had the privilege to work at a private practice in Kathleen and a non-profit, Christian Counseling Services, at Mabel White prior to becoming the clinical director and owner of Versa Vada Counseling and later Shelley L. Spivey, MA Counseling in Bonaire.

Currently, I am the owner and clinical director of Waves Autism Center, LLC in Warner Robins, Georgia. My two sons, Schuyler and Cameron, ages 19 and 17, work alongside of me as peer mentors in our online social groups for preschool, elementary, middle, high school, and young adults 18+, serving Middle Georgia and surrounding areas. We are also offering virtual Summer Day Camps due to Covid-19 and parent support meet-ups, during the year! We serve families on our online meeting space from many different areas of our state. We have the ability to serve families from anywhere in the continental United States.

My oldest son was diagnosed with autism and through our journey led us to create Waves for those with similar challenges and concerns, building confidence along the way. We are excited about our virtual life skill groups and our career exploration workshops in graphic design, drone discovery, culinary, and game design and coding for those ages 13 to 22 that have not graduated from high school coming soon! .We also offer the BrickLab Stem Experiences through PCS Edventures.

It is my privilege to offer professional and confidential services with the highest level of client satisfaction. I will strive to do everything I can to meet your expectations. I look forward to walking alongside of you and your family.
