About me

As a licensed therapist in Idaho, I specialize in supporting individuals navigating complex emotional landscapes. My professional approach centers on understanding the unique challenges of depression, anxiety, trauma, and life transitions. I have extensive experience working with older adults and individuals facing social isolation, relationship difficulties, and personal transformations.

My therapeutic practice focuses on creating a compassionate, non-judgmental space where clients can explore their deepest emotional experiences. I draw from evidence-based approaches to help individuals develop resilience, rebuild self-esteem, and cultivate meaningful connections. Whether you're struggling with panic attacks, grief, relationship challenges, or navigating significant life changes, I'm committed to walking alongside you with empathy and professional expertise.

I understand that seeking support takes courage, and I honor the strength it takes to begin this healing journey. My goal is to empower you to discover your inner resources, develop healthy coping strategies, and move toward greater emotional well-being.

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Sheila Hancock. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.

Sheila was my therapist in the past and her help at that time was heavily appreciated. I remember her listening to me very carefully, and she was very comfortable in listening and advising me through some very personal issues in the past. I have returned after a couple of years of not having therapy, and I purposely went out of my way to have her return as my therapist once again.

I am unpacking a lifetime of "stuff" I have not taken the time to or wanted to deal with. Sheila has been so patient and kind. It is tough to talk about and share some of these experiences, yet Sheila has such a gentle way that lets you know you are in a safe place to let it out and share what you have gone through.
