Grow Together. Smile Together. Heal Together.

Welcome to Magnolia Child and Family Therapy!

Welcome ♥

I’m Shelby Rusk, a licensed clinical social worker. I provide a supportive, collaborative space for adults, children, and families navigating challenges such as anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship struggles, and life transitions. I also offer structured, clinically-informed evaluations, including immigration-related mental health assessments and functional/workplace assessments to support disability documentation, legal needs, or professional accommodations.

I provide virtual therapy and evaluations for clients in both California and Indiana, offering flexibility and accessibility no matter where you are. Together, we’ll explore the root causes of your struggles, develop practical strategies, and build resilience to create lasting well-being. My approach is personalized, collaborative, and focused on helping you move forward with clarity, confidence, and balance, whether you are seeking therapy, an evaluation, or both.

When I’m not working with clients, I love spending time with my three kids, my husband, and our two energetic dogs. You can usually find me enjoying the pool on sunny days or curled up on the couch with my family and a cozy blanket.
