Sheila Ali

Sheila Ali is an Associate Clinical Social Worker (ACSW, MSW) who understands that in a post-pandemic world, the decision to seek therapy has become vital for many striving to discover their internal strength amidst isolation and uncertainty. Sheila likens therapy to that eccentric uncle who is often overlooked—the process can feel daunting but ultimately leads to profound self-discovery. Within the depths of the unconscious, individuals connect with their true selves, witnessing the emergence of strength through the courage of confronting their vulnerabilities. This process of radical self-honesty equips clients with essential behavioral and emotional tools for the lives they aspire to lead. Sheila employs a trauma-focused lens combined with a strength-based, person-centered approach to therapy. With her informed understanding of diverse and complex family structures and communities, she focuses clinically on traumatic life events, cross-cultural family conflict, and gender orientation and transition. When emotional pain becomes a burden—a metaphorical bag of bricks—individuals may feel their daily lives are unmanageable. This signifies an internal call to relieve that weight. Sheila is committed to creating a safe space, allowing clients to piece together their life narratives, develop deeper insights into their unconscious selves, and access their internal strength.
