Introduction: My approach is focused on gaining a deep understanding and awareness of the connection between thoughts, for example "he doesn't love me" emotions, "fear/shame" behaviors "shut down/lash out" and physical manifestations "panic, anxiety, depression insomnia...etc." More importantly, learnimg how to rewrite ones story , changing deeply wired beliefs that no longer serve you, your relationships and your being...another words, breaking old patterns! When working with couples, I find it very important to allow each to have a voice, share their pain in a supportive environment, begin practicing vulnerability through communicating your true feelings and needs. I guide and "coach" couples through the process of greater intimacy and connection. I love people. I enjoy helping others help themselves. There is something very beautiful about having the willigness to explore issues, to admit powerlessness... as this is when personal growth and intimacy in your relationship can begin.

Our family originally engaged Sheila to support my sons ADD issues and help him create strategies to deal with his struggles in school (in particular we explored Biofeedback Therapy). This went well but then my husbands sudden decision to leave our family left all of us shocked and spinning. Sheila started seeing both children to help them deal with the trauma of divorce and all the intricacies of the situation. While her focus has been the children, she has been instrumental in helping me be the mother my children have needed through this time. She gives me the space to make mistakes and kindly brings me back to awareness of what the children need, want, and feel. She has helped all three of us grieve and cope and move on to an incredibly fulfilling life while still holding all of us accountable for our choices. While Sheila is definitely a strong advocate for the children and their mental and psychological health, she realizes that the parents play a huge role in that and so works with everyone to meet the childrens needs for safety, love, and strong boundaries. I would strongly recommend Sheila to anyone needing support and guidance dealing with the challenges associated with being part of a family as either a child or parent.

I feel that Ms. Martel is an excellent counselor. She was very patient with my teenager who had a big issue with trust. My daughter soon felt very safe with her. Ms. Martel is very experienced with many of the issues that young people are faced with now. In addition, she gave my daughter strategies in dealing with a chronic illness. I would highly recommend Ms. Martel to anyone looking for a counselor.

Sheila is kind, knowledgable, and connected immediately with my tween daughter. She has self-calming and coping strategies that are age appropriate and useful. We highly recommend Sheila!

In a time where my life feels upside-down and full of stress she helps me manage my emotions and get through some of the toughest moments of my life. I look forward to my appointments and always leave feeling more in control and a little better than I did. I would HIGHLY recommend her. She goes above and beyond in making you feel better and helping you in every way she can, she is very NON-judgmental and will make you feel ok opening up about anything.
