Sheilly Arora, LCP — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Sheilly!

Starting therapy is not for the faint of heart. It takes a lot of courage! I have been blessed to do this work and have seen so many people change their lives for the better. My expertise lies in working with PTSD and sleep disorders.

My focus

My ideal clients are ready to do some work, be transparent in a non-judgmental space, and are here because they want to improve the quality of their lives.

My approach

My approach to therapy is very straightforward. I don't believe in lingering treatment, as my focus tends to be symptom reduction. I am trained in CBT for anxiety and depression, Prolonged Exposure, Cognitive Processing Therapy, ACT, and CBT-Insomnia.

My communication style

My communication style includes empathy, active listening, non-judgmental attitude, flexibility, clarity and directness, supportive and encouraging stance. By incorporating these elements, I hope to create an effective environment for my clients.

My journey to mental healthcare

From a young age, I was curious about human behavior and why people behave the way they do. It led me to pursue an undergrad in psychology, and when that wasn't enough, I decided to strive for my graduate degree.

My goals for you

I am trained in and use several evidence-based treatments such as CBT-Depression, Prolonged Exposure, Cognitive Processing Therapy, and CBT-Insomnia.

Our first session

In our first session, we'll get to know each other and discuss what brings you to therapy. I'll ask about your goals and what you hope to achieve. Together, we'll create a plan that feels right for you and begin building a foundation for meaningful change.
