Sheila Flipse, LCPC, LMHC

Sheila Flipse brings three decades of counseling experience to individuals facing grief, anxiety, depression and major life transitions, offering steady, compassionate support as they work toward healing and greater well-being.

Born in Liverpool, England, she moved to Toronto, Canada as a child and later relocated to the United States for college and graduate study, becoming an American citizen in 2000. She holds professional licenses in multiple states - LCPC, a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor in Nevada, and LMHC, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in New York - and is also a nationally certified counselor. These credentials reflect a long career of clinical training and practice.

Her clinical focus includes grief and loss, stress and anxiety, depression, self-esteem and relationship concerns, and a wide range of life changes. While teaching at the college level, she developed a course on Death and Dying that has informed her work with clients facing loss and end-of-life issues. Professional roles have included counseling people who are homeless, older adults, people in prison, college students and members of the military, giving her broad experience across populations.

Sheila’s therapeutic style emphasizes cognitive behavioral methods combined with motivational interviewing techniques, helping clients identify what already works in their lives, shift unhelpful thinking patterns and build practical skills. Outside of practice she enjoys travel - having visited 62 countries - spending time with her Shichon, Ozzie, playing board games and volunteering in the community. As a recent widow, she notes that Ozzie may sometimes be present during sessions while adjusting to loss.
