Therapist

Hello, I’m Shelia Ransom Jenkins, MSW, LCSW, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with extensive experience supporting adolescents, adults, couples, and families through life’s challenges. I offer a compassionate, trauma-informed, and client-centered approach to therapy, creating a safe space where individuals feel heard, supported, and empowered.

I hold a Master of Social Work and a Master of Science in Criminal Justice, and my professional background includes work in community mental health, educational settings, and clinical leadership roles. I have experience helping clients manage anxiety, depression, trauma and PTSD, relationship and family conflict, behavioral concerns, life transitions, and stress related to work, school, and personal growth. I also have specialized training in perinatal mental health, supporting individuals experiencing postpartum depression and related mood disorders.

My therapeutic approach integrates evidence-based practices such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), trauma-informed care, and strengths-based interventions, tailored to each client’s unique needs and goals. I believe therapy is most effective when it is collaborative, practical, and rooted in trust.

Whether you are feeling overwhelmed, navigating a difficult transition, or seeking deeper self-understanding, my goal is to support you with empathy, clarity, and encouragement as you work toward healing and lasting change.

Dr. Onyeisi Ogbomeh

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual • Illinois


I'm Dr. Onyeisi Stephen Ogbomeh (Dr. Og), a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (PMHNP), Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP-BC), and U.S. Army veteran with a Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP). I provide compassionate, evidence-based virtual psychiatric care for patients of all ages across Illinois, Texas, and Wisconsin.

My journey is one of resilience. Born into poverty in Nigeria, I worked as a bus conductor and construction laborer as a child to help my family survive. In 2007, I won the U.S. Visa Lottery and arrived in America with little more than hope. I started my healthcare career as a Certified Nursing Assistant and worked relentlessly to earn my DNP and multiple board certifications — all while maintaining a perfect 4.0 GPA.

I served as an Active Duty Family Nurse Practitioner in the U.S. Army, providing care to soldiers and their families. After my service, I faced my own mental health challenges — depression, anxiety, and PTSD. I'm currently in recovery and receiving treatment at my local VA hospital. This personal experience gives me a deep, lived understanding of what my patients go through, and it drives my commitment to providing the best evidence-based care available.

I specialize in anxiety, depression, ADHD, bipolar disorder, PTSD, and memory concerns. My approach combines comprehensive evaluation, medication management, and ongoing support — all tailored to your unique needs. I believe healing happens through partnership, and I'm here to support your mental health journey with compassion, expertise, and respect.

You deserve to feel heard. Let's work together toward lasting wellness.
