Hi there, I’m Shelia
Do you feel like the weight of the world is weighing you down? Life’s struggles are becoming unmanageable? Managing family, relationships and job is getting too hard?
I help clients find a healthy perception of themselves and strengthen their relationships. We can partner to identify what works and what doesn’t to create a new path that works better. I have experience with individual, family, and group modalities and will use an integrative approach based on your needs. This may include: client-centered, mindfulness, solution focused, and trauma-informed techniques.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over ten years of experience, working with adults and couples in individual therapy. I draw from Mindfulness, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), and Internal Family Systems (IFS) to support clients facing ADHD, anxiety, depression, domestic violence, grief and loss, self injury, spirituality, substance use, and trauma or PTSD.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Therapist in Orland Park
Searching for therapists in Orland Park starts with finding someone whose training matches what you want support with. People often look for therapy for anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, life transitions, or stress at work or home. As you compare therapists, look for listed specialties and therapy approaches that fit your needs, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, trauma-informed care, or family therapy. A therapist’s profile can also show how they structure sessions, who they work with, and what you can expect from their approach.
In a smaller city like Orland Park, local in-person appointment options may vary by schedule, specialty, and office location. Virtual therapy can expand your choices across Illinois while still connecting you with a therapist licensed to provide care in the state. As you narrow your search, consider appointment times, whether the therapist offers free phone consultations, and whether they are accepting new patients. Reading bios before booking can help you compare communication style, clinical focus, and practical fit in one place.
Therapy in Orland Park can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to lower out-of-pocket costs and understand what you may pay before care begins. Headway helps you search for therapists who match your preferences, verify your insurance, and see estimated session costs before you book. You can browse profiles, compare virtual and in-person options, and book directly when you’re ready.
If anyone in your family is experiencing or worried about abuse, threats, or coercion, joint family or couples therapy usually isn't the right starting point — individual support is safer. The Childhelp National Child Abuse Hotline (1-800-422-4453) and National Domestic Violence Hotline (1-800-799-7233, or text START to 88788\) can help you think through next steps.
