Hi, my name is Sheila Flipse. My passion is to come along side individuals who are hurting and struggling and walk with them through their journey to health and wholeness in a kind and compassionate manner. I am a licensed clinical professional counselor in the state of Nevada, and a licensed mental health counselor in the state of New York. I am also a national certified counselor. Born in Liverpool, England I moved to Toronto, Ontario, Canada as a child. I moved the United States to attend college and graduate school. In 2000 I became an American citizen. My areas of specialty include grief and loss, depression, anxiety and stress. While I was a college professor, I developed a class entitled, Death and Dying that has proved helpful to many people over the last few years. I love to help people build a healthy self concept and develop confidence. I have over 30 years of counseling experience. My professional life has included working with the homeless, elderly, prison, college and military populations. I have lots of experience with relationship and marital concerns. In my spare time I enjoy traveling (62 countries so far!), having fun with my Shichon, Ozzie, playing board games and volunteering for community activities. My approach is very much cognitive behavioral therapy with motivational interviewing techniques. Together we work to find out what is working in the client's life and develop those skills and techniques. Then I work at helping the client become aware of inaccurate or negative thinking patterns so that they can begin to view challenging situations more clearly and respond to them in more effective ways. I offer video chat, phone calls or live text chat. My calendar is available for you to schedule appointments with me. I do ask that if you schedule an appointment with me, that you keep the appointment. By canceling, it may create unavailability for someone who really needs to chat. As a recent widow, it may be necessary for my dog Ozzie to be present during our counseling sessions as he is adjusting to his loss as well. It would be my honor to work with you.

Hello. I'am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in New York. I have been working for 13+ years with families and clients of all ages. I enjoy helping and supporting clients on their individual journey. I have helped clients with depression, anxiety, trauma, abuse, adjustment issues, relationship challenges, anger management, self esteem, not being raised by biological family, and more. My therapeutic style allows for adjustment, as I meet clients where they are, understanding that some might appreciate more direction, while others require less. Through it all, I uphold the value of vulnerability, walking alongside clients, building trust. I put my clients in the driver's seat, as we unravel complicated feelings, trauma, and pain, in order to gain peace, wholeness, and empowerment. It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life, and to take the first step towards change. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to support and empower you.

8 years offering treatment
I am licensed in New York with 8 years of professional work experience. I have experience working with adolescents and adults who experience anxiety, depression, ADHD, difficulty with life transitions, lack of communication skills, obsessive compulsive disorders, body dysmorphia, lack of self-esteem, eating disorders, and chronic illness. I bring warmth, compassion, and humor to the therapeutic process and relationship. I specialize in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to assist in stress reduction and changing negative thought patterns to become an active leader in your care and form healthy ways to cope. I promote positive mantras and positive thinking to have you live in a healthier environment in order to be productive and achieve your goals. My passion is to help people, make sure they feel understood and supported. I do my best to assist them in living a more satisfying life. The little things help create big changes and I appreciate those things in you that you often don’t see. I provide a safe, supportive, non-judgmental environment to help you obtain the support and feedback you need. Therapy is about exploring, experimenting, discovering, and being vulnerable. In our therapy together you will learn to increase self-compassion and mindfulness, and your ability to sit with uncertainty and bear witness to uncomfortable feelings and body sensations. You will gain awareness of the role negative core beliefs and thoughts have upon mood and learn how to challenge those negative thought patterns. You will learn to set appropriate boundaries by asserting feelings, recognizing wants and needs, and identifying the role shame and guilt might play in causing unhealthy, harmful, stale, and inauthentic behaviors. My availability is catered to stay at home mothers, college students, or those who work from home or can utilize a lunch break. I am looking forward to meeting with you and working together to start this journey of yours!
