Psychotherapist | Clinical Director
Welcome to Insight Counseling. I'm Sheila Paul, a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with over 17 years dedicated to the mental health field. My professional journey began at Chapman University, followed by internships at Lutheran Social Services, Inland AIDS Project, Telecare, and Community Hospital of San Bernardino. These experiences, as well as volunteering for The Soldier's Project of Los Angeles, enriched my understanding, especially in areas like trauma, anxiety, depression, and PTSD.
In 2010, I took a leap of faith and established my own private practice. Since then, I've been committed to offering specialized treatments, including innovative trauma therapies like EMDR. My approach is eclectic, blending techniques from psychodynamic, cognitive behavioral, mindfulness, and solution-focused therapies, ensuring each session is tailored to my client's unique needs.
Your journey to healing, growth, and understanding is paramount to me. Together, we'll navigate the path to your well-being, and I'm genuinely excited to be a part of that transformative process.
