Sheila Weisbrod

I believe in the inherent power of each individual to heal and and grow, and I see myself as a catalyst and companion along that journey. Affirming the individual's personal resources and providing tools and support, I work collaboratively with individuals as they move through life's transitions. Throughout our lives we all experience times when we feel alone and stuck. Working with an experienced caring professional who will actively listen and understand in a safe, private setting can help us achieve a greater sense of personal satisfaction in ourselves and in our relationships. This often involves examining belief systems and releasing outdated or unconscious beliefs and habits. My approach to therapy is warm and collaborative. I believe growth comes from enhancing our understanding of ourselves and learning to make choices that can lead us to greater freedom and lasting positive change. Removing symptoms, changing self-defeating patterns, improving self-esteem, working with our strengths, and developing healthy relationships are each a part of this meaningful process. I view the counseling process to be a relational experience. We will spend time exploring specific problems that have brought you into the counseling office and the nature of the relationships with the people who are most significant to you.
