About
Hi, I am Sheila Derby McLean. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Massachusetts. I have a warm, interactive style. I strive to create a safe, respectful environment. I believe we can utilize challenges to create opportunities. We are all capable of improving the quality of our lives when we learn how to embrace challenges and overcome obstacles/self-doubts. I use a practical common-sense approach focusing on the most distressing issues first. I will encourage new techniques to develop a positive plan of action. I have a warm interactive style. People feel comfortable and safe working with me.
I was widowed twice before the age of forty. I was a single parent. I felt that going through grief so young, as well as raising a child that I may be able to help other people get through their problems.
I approach goal setting by asking what they would like to gain in sessions. Encourage identifying specific issues they struggle with and process the positive outcomes. Getting to know each other, identifying expectations and information gathering.
