Getting to know Shelia Traylor

Hi there, I’m Shelia. Do you feel like the weight of the world is weighing you down? Life’s struggles becoming unmanageable? Managing family, relationships, and work getting too hard? I help clients find a healthy perception of themselves and strengthen their relationships. Together, we can identify what works and what doesn’t to create a new path that fits you better. I have experience with individual, family, and group modalities and use an integrative approach tailored to your needs. This may include client-centered, mindfulness, solution-focused, and trauma-informed techniques. I hold a Master’s in Social Work from Aurora University, which has equipped me with the skills to support you effectively. I truly believe that having a good relationship and feeling comfortable with your therapist is essential to therapy. I provide a relaxed, casual environment where you can express yourself openly without judgment. I will warmly but honestly guide you through your journey of change, adjustment, and growth. I look forward to talking with you and beginning a process that leads to greater happiness, less stress, and an overall better quality of life.

More information on payments and coverage

Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.
