“Sheila is incredibly helpful, and I appreciate her honesty and her keen ability to shift into a positive attitude to help me reframe my mindset. She guides our conversations with focus and supports me without being overly gentle in areas where I need to improve, which I find valuable since I already have a supportive but soft parent. Her approach really balances things out for me.”

Getting to know Sheila Sorensen
I am passionate about teaching others how to access their deep knowing and watching people grow and learn in new and successful ways. I find the work of psychotherapy to be fulfilling and purposeful, and I look forward to being on the journey of improving your mental health wellness with you. I hold a PsyD in Clinical Psychology from Meridian University - Bay Area Center, which has equipped me with the skills and knowledge to support your growth effectively.
What should a new client know about working with you?
I use empathetic listening, curiosity, and my excitement for helping others in order to provide a sense of validation to my clients. I believe that we heal through meaning making and I help you do this in an supportive and understanding space. I also believe that being heard and acknowledged for who we are and what we feel is so important for the human experience and I work hard to offer this to my clients.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
I work to build a strong therapeutic relationship with my clients by creating a collaborative, compassionate and respectful therapeutic relationship. I offer a safe and supportive container for individuals to explore and strengthen their abilities. I am honored to help my clients and feel humbled to be trusted enough to be invited into the pain and experiences of those whom I get to work with.
