Getting to know Shelia Jenkins
Hi there, I'm Shelia!
I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker offering telehealth therapy across multiple states. I specialize in supporting individuals and families through anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, and relationship challenges.
My focus
I work with adults, adolescents, and preteens who are navigating a range of emotional, relational, and life challenges. My client focus includes individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship concerns, parenting stress, and life transitions.
My approach
My approach to care is compassionate, collaborative, and client-centered. I believe therapy should feel like a safe, nonjudgmental space where you feel seen, heard, and empowered. I take the time to build trust and truly understand each person’s unique story, tailoring treatment to meet your specific needs, goals, and values.
My communication style
My communication style is warm, down-to-earth, and direct with compassion. I strive to create a space where you feel safe, respected, and genuinely understood. I believe in open and honest dialogue, and I’ll always meet you where you are, whether you're feeling vulnerable, stuck, or ready for change.
My journey to mental healthcare
My journey to becoming a provider was deeply personal and purpose-driven. With a strong foundation in criminal justice and social work, I’ve always been drawn to advocating for those whose voices often go unheard.
My goals for you
I help clients reach their goals by starting with what matters most to them. In our early sessions, we’ll collaborate to identify your priorities, explore what’s getting in the way, and define clear, achievable goals that align with your values and lifestyle.
Our first session
Our first session is all about getting to know you in a comfortable, judgment-free space. I’ll start by learning about what brought you to therapy, what challenges you're facing, and what goals you hope to achieve.
