About Shelia Cisco

As a licensed therapist serving clients in Illinois, I specialize in supporting individuals through complex life transitions and emotional challenges. My practice centers on empowering women, particularly those navigating relationship dynamics, personal identity, and healing from past experiences. With expertise in addressing depression, trauma, self-esteem, and intimacy-related concerns, I offer a compassionate, culturally responsive approach. My work focuses on helping clients develop self-love, improve communication, explore life purpose, and work through difficult experiences like divorce, body image struggles, and interpersonal challenges. Drawing from a holistic perspective, I create a supportive environment that honors each person's unique journey. I'm committed to walking alongside my clients as they cultivate resilience, understanding, and personal growth. Whether you're seeking guidance through relationship issues, processing past trauma, or exploring your identity, I'm dedicated to providing thoughtful, affirming support.

“Ms. Cisco is very kind, professional and wise. ”

“I’ve been working with Shelia for a little while now, and I truly can’t say enough good things about her. She brings such a calming, grounded presence to every session. What I appreciate most is how she incorporates the Bible in a thoughtful and uplifting way that helps me process and work through my challenges. Her guidance always feels rooted in both faith and wisdom. She’s also been incredibly helpful with relationship issues—she listens without judgment and helps me understand the deeper patterns while giving me practical tools and encouragement. I always leave our sessions feeling lighter, more confident, and more connected to myself and to God. I’m so grateful to have her support on this journey.”
