Shawn Helvey is a therapist, mentor, and coach who does his best work with men who have built a life, or are attempting to, but are quietly struggling to make it all work. Whether that's a relationship that's losing ground, an identity that no longer fits, or a young man who needs a steady presence to help him find his footing, Shawn brings a style that's relatable but rooted in training, experience, and deep thought.

His sessions are casual and personable. Shawn uses humor and genuine self-disclosure to create the kind of environment where real work gets done. He's learned from the people in his own life who showed up fully — faults and all — and he brings that same honesty into the room. Clients often say that hearing Shawn draw from his own experience is what makes what they're learning sink in.

Shawn specializes in life transitions, dating and relationship challenges, men's issues, and identity — both the building and the humbling of it. He works with men in their 20s through 70s navigating pivotal moments, and with high school– and college-aged males who benefit from a grounded male role model. Every insight gained in session gets connected to real-world application, tools and challenges you leave with, not just things to think about. He also works with couples learning to communicate in ways that actually land.

Shawn earned his master's degree in Mental Health Counseling from the University of Central Florida in 2015 and is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) in Tennessee and Montana. He founded ManMade Group in 2021 and has been in private practice since 2017. Before that, he served as Program Manager of the Greater Gallatin Day Treatment Center with Youth Dynamics, where he developed programming for young people who needed more than the school system could offer. He also brings years of wilderness experience — co-leading trips and therapeutic retreats with young men and their families.

In his free time, he enjoys spending time with his family, staying active, and exploring new places.
