Hello, my name is Sheila (she/her/ella), and I am a Cuban-born Family Therapist, specializing in trauma and relationships.
I use a variety of different approaches depending on the client's request.
First session
I offer a 30 min. free session in order to evaluate your needs, and determine if we are a good fit. After that, you can expect our first session to be a more in depth getting to know each other session, as well as going over what to expect from the process. Here we will also work collaboratively in how to proceed with treatment
Strengths
My greatest strengths as a provider are my empathy skills, my past life experiences that provide me with more in depth understanding of yours, and my charismatic personality. I also speak Spanish, and have in depth knowledge of different cultural backgrounds.
Ideal clients
I love working with people who are dedicated to their healing journey. My ideal client('s) are always eager to improve, and flexible. Right now they might be feeling stuck, anxious, not valued, overwhelmed, unable to reach their fullest potential, or struggling with a connection/relationship. Clients who are willing to put in the work and understand that it is not the therapist's responsibility to "fix" them but instead see it as a collaborative job. My ideal client is also working on themselves outside of therapy.
