Getting to know Sheila Clifford

I am a Strengths-Based Licensed Clinical Social Worker who works with individuals, couples, and families to assist in creating the best version of yourself. Life has endless joys as well as difficulties, and I am here to assist in processing loss, changes, and joys. My approach I am a strengths-based clinician who utilizes CBT, bereavement/grief therapy, and narrative therapy. My focus I enjoy working with individuals who have experienced loss, infertility, and changes in relationships. I have worked with both inpatients in the NICU and PICUs and outpatients in pediatric and adult hospice. My communication style My approach is to empower you and draw upon your strengths to assist in processing changes. I am gentle and also pull upon exercise, movement, and diet as ways to bring us to the best versions of ourselves. My journey to mental healthcare I have always known that I wanted to help people. I have had a long career in different settings that have all led to my role as a therapist. I work with diverse populations and continue to work on my skills in ensuring that I am meeting my clients' needs. My goals for you I like to set reasonable, sustainable goals in my work with clients. We revisit these frequently in order to ensure that I am assisting in making some progress. My first session with you I use our first session to get to know one another, and many times, clients have questions for me. I share some of my work background and life experience as a single mom to connect with my clients. I set expectations for therapy and ensure that we are a good fit from both perspectives.
