About Sheila
Sheila Brittain is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) who draws on decades of social service experience to help people facing life changes and emotional pain. She frames therapy as a collaborative process and aims to create a calm, trustworthy space where clients can talk through difficult feelings and situations.
She uses a blend of approaches to match each person’s needs rather than a one-size-fits-all method. Sessions focus on understanding how beliefs, perceptions, and family history shape daily life. Sheila helps people notice patterns and make practical shifts that feel manageable.
Her background includes mediation and small business consulting alongside more than 30 years in social services. That experience informs a practical, down-to-earth style that looks at both internal struggles and problems that happen between people. She supports people working through grief, trauma and abuse, stress, anxiety, and depression, as well as relationship and intimacy concerns.
Sheila also addresses issues like caregiver stress, codependency, family-of-origin problems, isolation, and end-of-life or hospice-related concerns. She pays attention to how anger, sleep problems, and low self-esteem affect everyday functioning and helps clients build better coping strategies.
During sessions she brings curiosity and an open heart, encouraging exploration and empowerment. The focus is on helping each person discover their own way forward, reduce conflict or pain, and create more hopeful, sustainable habits in daily life.
