Bipolar disorder therapists & psychiatrists in Springfield, IL

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.

I am a board-certified clinical health psychologist with extensive experience helping individuals navigate stress, anxiety, depression, health concerns, and life transitions. I take a collaborative and supportive approach, focusing on understanding your unique experiences and what matters most to you. My goal is to create a comfortable, nonjudgemental space where you feel heard and respected. Together, we'll work on practical strategies to help you copy more effectively, feel more balanced, and move toward meaningful, lasting change

My commitment to therapy isn't just professional — it's deeply personal. With fifteen years of hands-on experience, I've navigated my own life journey and know firsthand what it means to search for purpose, confront unresolved barriers, and actively fight for inner healing. That lived experience is the fuel behind everything I do.

I am lively, warm, and I truly never meet a stranger. I welcome everyone with open arms and bring an uplifting, hopeful energy to every session — while also being the kind of counselor who will sit with you safely in your pain with a deeply empathetic heart. I am fiercely loyal and dedicated to your long-term growth and victory.

I work with faith-based individuals and spiritual seekers, adults in transition, adolescents and young adults, couples, and those navigating trauma, addiction, and recovery.

As a board-certified psychiatric nurse practitioner, my goal is to create hope and help people to realize that together we can overcome whatever struggles they are facing. I specialize in treating ADHD, anxiety, depression, bipolar, and LGBTQIA+ issues. I have been a nurse for 27 years, and I strive to show compassion and understanding to everyone who needs help.

Welcome! I’m a passionate and dedicated Licensed Social Worker with over 15 years of experience supporting both youth and adults on their paths to healing. My focus lies in helping individuals navigate trauma, overcome anxiety disorders, and improve emotional well-being through child therapy and trauma-focused interventions.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a bachelor’s degree in psychology and a Master of Social Work. My professional background includes providing psychotherapy in private-practice and juvenile-justice settings, where I have supported adolescents and adults from diverse cultural backgrounds. I specialize in helping clients navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, stress, emotional regulation, relationship concerns, and major life transitions.

My therapeutic style is warm, compassionate, collaborative, and nonjudgmental. I use trauma-informed, strength-based, person-centered, and cognitive-behavioral approaches tailored to each client’s needs. As someone who values faith, resilience, family, and personal growth, I understand the importance of feeling genuinely seen and supported during difficult seasons. When requested, I offer faith-sensitive care that respectfully incorporates a client’s Christian beliefs. My strength is creating a safe environment where clients can process difficult experiences, recognize their strengths, develop practical coping skills, and move toward meaningful, lasting change.

I help adults navigate anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, relationship challenges, women’s issues, and life’s difficult seasons so they can feel more at peace, confident, and connected to themselves and the people they care about. If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, emotionally drained, or unsure of what comes next, you don’t have to work through it alone. Therapy can help you feel understood, find clarity, and create positive change.
