Clinical Social Work/Therapist, MSW, LICSW

Therapy is a unique experience for each person. It helps you learn yourself, your relationships (past and present), and how you interact with the world. It is a place of self healing and understanding. It is a place to find safety and refuge to manage stress,anger, guilt, anxiety, overwhelming feelings,
trauma
, interpersonal conflict, and significant life events. I work with youth and adults to help address these issues. I am trained as a psychodynamic therapist, practicing from a relational standpoint. I use several clinical approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy, attachment theory, and
trauma
focused therapy as needed.

trauma

Sheila M Cahill
Clinical Social Work/Therapist, JD, MSW
Verified
By the good fortune of some unique pre- and post-grad training, I have become what people now call a ‘
trauma
-informed’ therapist.
A therapist for the last 23 years, I spent the twenty preceding years in large firm law practice in SF, DC and NY. At almost. the last minute, i grabbed hold of my life, and turned it upside down. This turned out very well. Now, every day I get to delight in working with people in a frank and open way, with the aim of changing their lives for the better. Life is difficult — there’s no way around that. But when you and your therapist are a good fit, the therapy relationship can expand your world, deepen your knowledge of yourself, improve your relationships, and release you to a life you can enjoy more fully and freely.

I pride myself on my ability to meet people where they are at, build a supportive relationship, and help them work towards achieving their goals. I am currently working towards AASECT certification and obtaining my PhD in Clinical Sexology, so I have a particular interest working with couples and individuals in the areas of sex therapy.

I provide a warm, caring, and supportive environment that allows us to work together to set goals and come up with effective solutions. Each of us has a unique perspective and we will work together to mold treatment to best fit your specific needs.

Life can be challenging at times. Whether it’s from patterns of thinking or behaving we’ve carried with us since childhood, or relationship dynamics we’ve forged, or hurdles we’ve encountered in our day-to-day journey, or lingering
trauma
, sometimes we can feel stuck. We may even lose a sense of our own identity along the way, and that “lost” feeling brings experiences of anxiety, stress, sadness, fear, physical struggles, or more. It can be helpful to find a safe space to explore our thoughts and feelings, and counseling can offer an objective perspective, thought-provoking questions, and help in discovering the way forward.
