Getting to know Sheila Owen

Hi there, I'm Sheila! Hello, my name is Sheila Owen, LCSW, LADC. I hold a Master’s in Social Work from Southern Connecticut State University and have decades of experience helping others reach their personal and mental health goals. Depression, anxiety, and addiction are some of the areas I work with. My approach is evidence-based, supportive, and includes gentle feedback. My approach I build rapport by listening with empathy, trust, and warmth. Feedback is gentle and compassionate, never critical or judgmental. I draw upon 30 years of experience treating mental health and addiction issues in hospitals, treatment centers, and private practice. Evidence-based practice is key in my modalities, meaning the approaches I use have been researched and proven effective. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, and Solution Focused Treatment are part of my practice. My focus I help people with mood disorders, including depression, anxiety, and bipolar disorder. Trauma issues and PTSD are within my scope. I also work with people who have addiction. My communication style I create an atmosphere of warmth, empathy, and trust. I want clients to feel safe working with me. I am a skilled clinician who listens carefully and offers supportive feedback. My journey to mental healthcare I love working directly with people and making an impact on their lives. If a person learns something from me that helps them feel better or reach a goal, I am doing my job as a therapist. I have worked in multiple hospitals and treatment centers but find individual, family, and couples work the most rewarding. My goals for you My clients are in charge of their therapy. They set the focus, and I collaborate with them to set goals. My first session with you In the first session, clients can expect a full initial evaluation covering most aspects of their lives. I will listen intently and ask questions to prompt the discussion.
