What is a licensed clinical social worker?
A licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) is fully licensed to practice independently as a clinical psychotherapist. LCSW's often treat mental health and emotional issues through clinical therapy, and diagnose mental illnesses when appropriate. Counseling services provided by LCSW's are covered under insurance plans.
​
What is unique about social work? Social work is a helping profession that studies people in their environment. It is a holistic approach to treating individuals based on how each person is impacted by their histories, families, support systems, social engagement, patterns and dynamics, and psychological well-being. It is a profession that values self-determination, empowerment, basic human rights and equality, as well as cultural diversity.

Hi, I'm Sheena! I am a licensed clinical social worker and clinical therapist. I received my master's degree from Baylor University in 2009, followed by a PsyD in clinical psychology from California Southern University. I have experience working with all ages and I have treated a number of different issues.

I enjoy the work that I do and truly feel grateful to be a part of each client's healing process. I love to witness and support positive change, no matter how big or how small.
