Group Facilitator / Counselor / Advocate

About

I'm Sheila Monsod, and since 2020, I've been dedicated to supporting individuals on their path to recovery. My qualifications include a CCAPP - CADC II, DOT - SAP certification, and a Master’s degree in Management and Leadership from Pepperdine University.My journey in the field of recovery began back in 2002, and in 2006, I decided to make it my profession. I started as a certified counselor for a non-profit organization, Phoenix House Venice. This remarkable facility specializes in assisting parolees, probationers, and federal pre-trial clients as they reintegrate into society.My dedication and commitment soon led to a promotion to Facility Project Administrator. In this role, I took charge of various aspects, including compliance requirements, overall operations, funding source compliance, and certification board adherence. Additionally, I played a pivotal role in assembling a dedicated team of employees, counselor and therapist interns, and volunteers.After two rewarding years in administration, I made a choice to return to the clinical side of the field. Once again, I was promoted, this time to Senior Counselor in outpatient programs and services. Here, I managed a caseload of up to 23 clients and honed my skills in time management.Fueled by my ambition and a genuine passion for helping people, I transitioned to the for-profit sector of substance use and treatment programs, serving as a Human Resource Manager. I successfully staffed four residential programs, overseeing roles ranging from counselors to therapist interns and LVNs. My dedication in this capacity lasted for five fulfilling years.However, my journey didn't stop there. I decided to pursue further education, which led me to a part-time role at the Union Rescue Mission in downtown Skid Row from 2016 to 2020. From being a part-time clerk, I swiftly climbed the ranks to become the Volunteers Department Manager, and shortly after completing my Master's degree at Pepperdine University, I assumed the position of Philanthropy Officer. In this role, I managed a portfolio of over 500 dedicated donors committed to helping the unhoused population.Driven by my dedication to my children, I sought a unique opportunity to provide counseling and group facilitation. Today, I've come full circle in my journey, combining my extensive experience, education, and unwavering commitment to make a meaningful impact on individuals seeking recovery.I look forward to connecting, collaborating, and making a positive difference in the lives of those on their journey to recovery.
