PHILL SHELDON

Clinical Social Work/Therapist, LCSW-C

I work with adult individuals and couples. As a strengths-based therapist, I believe that everyone is the most well-informed expert about their own life, and I define my role as helping clients in gaining clarity, self-awareness, and insight that can be applied toward actionable, meaningful, and purposeful change. 

I have extensive experience working with grief, adjustment to illness, depression, anxiety, life transitions, and the varied ambiguities of marriage and separation (including conflict related to child custody).

​

My main therapy orientations are Acceptance Commitment Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy. Both models privilege self-determination, which is important to me because I view my work as helping clients define and then actualize their own priorities. 

​

I grew up in the Maryland suburbs outside of Washington. I received my bachelor's degree from Johns Hopkins University and my Master of Social Work degree from the University of Pennsylvania.
