About Sheila
I am licensed in California with 7 years of professional work experience. I have been fortunate in being able to provide 30 additional years in the mental health field as a case manager/case coordinator. I am a community activist who aids in decreasing the sigma of mental health issues.
I have an extensive background in helping clients with stress, depression, anxiety, relationship concerns, motivation, and self-esteem, and confidence issues. I have experience working with an array of adult mental health diagnoses and treating individuals who are experiencing life changes.
I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards change. I am here to support & empower you in that journey.

What clients say
- “Sheila is amazing! She is a good listener, provides different tools for me to use throughout the day to cope with what I’m going through, most importantly, I can tell she cares and is passionate which I love about her. I definitely recommend her!”
- “I find Sheila to be open, empathetic, direct, compassionate and highly knowledgable. I am so grateful that I found her to work with. I receive homework (which I welcome and appreciate) that is accessible, manageable and revealing. I feel like I am gaining a lot of self perspective and insight working with her. My mind is clearer and my spirit feels more confident since starting to work with Sheila.”
- “She is awesome!”

- “Sheila Owens is AMAZING”
- “She is great! Very attentive and provides me with valuable jewels each session.”
- “I have nothing but positive things to say about Sheila! Every session she made me feel comfortable and safe to talk with her. I shared with her a past bad experience with a therapist and she validated my feelings and assured nothing like that would happen with her, and it didn’t. She gave me the tools to reframe my way of thinking and it’s helped improve my life and relationships. I will genuinely miss her & our sessions now that i feel like i’ve gotten to a place where i don’t need therapy. But, if that were to change Sheila would be the first person i’d call!”
