Getting to know Shelia Ransom Jenkins
Shelia Ransom Jenkins, MSW, LCSW
Hi, I’m Shelia Ransom Jenkins — a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Guardian ad Litem (GAL) with Master’s degrees in both Social Work and Criminal Justice. I specialize in working with individuals and families facing anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship struggles, and life transitions, with a strong focus on perinatal mental health. Whether you're adjusting to parenthood, managing emotional overwhelm, or trying to reconnect with yourself, I’m here to support you with compassion and clarity.
In therapy, I take a warm, straightforward, and nonjudgmental approach. I use evidence-based, trauma-informed practices to help you process what you’re going through, build emotional resilience, and find practical tools that work in your everyday life. I meet you where you are — whether you need space to cry, clarity to move forward, or simply someone to listen without pressure.
I became a therapist because I’ve seen the impact mental health challenges can have — not only professionally, but personally. I have a child who struggles with anxiety and a close friend who battles depression. Walking alongside them deepened my empathy, strengthened my clinical lens, and affirmed my passion for helping others find relief and renewal in their own journeys.
Outside of therapy, I enjoy making permanent jewelry, spending quality time with my husband and children, and finding peaceful moments in the middle of a busy life. I know how hard it can be to ask for help, but I also know the courage it takes to do so — and I’m honored to be part of that healing process with you.
