Sheila McCarthy-LoatmanLCSW
Nice to meet you
My work is person-centered and collaborative. I focus on supporting individuals and couples navigating anxiety, depression, life transitions, trauma, and relationship conflicts. I believe in our inner capacity to grow and heal, which guides my process. I draw from various therapeutic modalities and tailor my approach to each person, holding space for growth and discovery as we work together to uncover strengths and navigate life’s challenges.
