Hello! I'm Sheila, an LCPC based in Illinois. I received my master's in counseling from Governor's State University and have been practicing for 5 years. I am passionate about helping individuals navigate life's challenges, find their voice, and achieve personal growth. Through a personalized approach that integrates various therapeutic techniques, I strive to empower my clients to lead fulfilling and meaningful lives.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

In our first session, we'll begin with a brief introduction, during which I will provide an overview of my background, therapeutic approach, and what you can expect from our sessions. I will then invite you to share any information you feel is important about yourself, your reasons for seeking therapy, and the goals you have for our work together. We will explore the issues or challenges that have brought you to therapy, allowing me to gain insight into your current situation and identify the specific areas you would like to address. Additionally, I may ask questions about your personal history, including past experiences, relationships, and any previous therapy or treatment, to develop a comprehensive understanding of your unique background and its influence on your present circumstances.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

I have a natural ability to understand and connect with my clients on a deep, emotional level, creating a safe and supportive environment where they feel heard and valued. My dedication to fostering personal growth and self-discovery in my clients is evident in my approach, as I encourage them to explore their potential and achieve meaningful change. I uphold high ethical standards in my practice, ensuring that my clients receive the highest quality care in a respectful and confidential setting. My genuine passion for helping clients empower themselves to overcome challenges and improve their lives is the driving force behind my work.
