Sheila Lynch, LCSW — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Sheila!

I understand clearly how large a step it is to start therapy, so I congratulate you on deciding to take the journey.

My focus

I work with adults experiencing an array of mental issues, ranging from depression, anxiety, trauma, and self-esteem concerns, to name a few. All services will be client-centered.

My approach

I use a patient-centered approach in my practice. I will work together with you to develop a plan that will assist you in becoming the best version of yourself. This will be done by using a wide array of therapeutic modalities.

My communication style

You can expect an open, honest, and clear communication style with a supportive environment. It will include a non-judgmental and supportive practice. I will provide active listening, coupled with opportunities to reflect on your experiences.

My journey to mental healthcare

My journey to becoming a clinician began with my desire to help others find strength in difficult situations. My clinical experience has included a wide range of diverse populations, both inpatient and outpatient settings, treating patients with a wide array of mental health diagnoses.

My goals for you

We will work together to develop a plan that will assist you in becoming the best version of yourself. This will be done by using a wide array of therapeutic modalities tailored to your unique needs and goals.

Our first session

Our first session will allow us to get to know each other. We will discuss the issues and problems for clarity, and I will work to develop a strong rapport. I would like you to understand that therapy is a process, and we will take the journey together.
