About Shelia
Dr. Shelia Williamson Collins is a licensed counselor with 18 years of experience in behavioral health. She brings a practical, person-centered style to sessions and listens for the story behind each concern. Clients come to her for help with depression, mood shifts, addictions, and related stressors.
Before moving into private practice in North Carolina, she worked across inpatient and outpatient settings and in residential substance treatment programs. That background gives her experience with crisis moments and with ongoing recovery work.
Her sessions focus on clear, workable steps. She uses client-centered conversation to understand what matters most to the person in front of her. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is used to spot unhelpful thinking and try different behaviors. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, is used to build skills for strong emotions and better coping.
People who see her often want help with addiction, anger, grief, or relationship and parenting strain. She also supports those facing trauma, ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, and multicultural or caregiver stress. Sessions aim to balance practical skill-building with space to tell your story.
Dr. Collins works in English and practices in North Carolina. She asks people whether they prefer weekly meetings and tries to accommodate those preferences when scheduling.
