Mission
His mission is to provide quality, short- to long-term therapeutic counselling solutions for individuals, couples, and families, and in-depth psychological evaluations and consultation to attorneys, medical, education and other professionals.
Why Wholelife?
Several years ago, in providing pastoral care, he saw people struggling with situations that crippled them emotionally and psychologically. Their problems were not spiritual in origin but nevertheless stopped them from achieving the deep spiritual experience they craved. He understood in those moments, as a minister, that there was little use trying to address spiritual issues without restoring the entire person. So, Wholelife Counselling and Training Services was born.
People need to feel heard and supported. My aim always is to walk with them through life’s moments, the pleasant and the hard ones.
Shurland Kellman, Ed. D
His passion for walking with people through their life situations is backed by academic training that includes:
- Doctor of Education (Ed.D) in Foundations in Development Psychology, Counselling and Sociological Foundations, University of Cincinnati, 1996
- Master of Education (M.Ed) in Psychological Foundations and Education, 1987
- B.A, in Psychology, Counselling and General Education, 1986.
Since then, his practice has expanded to include personal, couples, marriage and family counselling, crisis, grief and trauma services, plus addressing work- and school- related stress. As a licenced marriage officiant, he also conducts wedding ceremonies as well as prepares couples for marriage through comprehensive premarital counselling.
Outside of work?
Now, in case you’re wondering how (or when?!) he unwinds, you’ll find him spending some of his spare time gardening.
