Dr. Sheila Vidal | Next Mission Recovery

Welcome. I’m Dr. Sheila Vidal, a licensed clinical psychologist providing ACT-led, trauma-informed care for adults in California and Virginia, with strategic psychological consultation available worldwide. This channel offers practical tools and clear explanations to help you understand stress, trauma, identity, relationships, and nervous-system health.

Drawing from my clinical work treating PTSD, C-PTSD, anxiety, and attachment challenges, as well as my academic background in international affairs, military and diplomatic studies, and fieldwork abroad, I explore how culture, resilience, and lived experience shape the ways we cope, communicate, and connect.

Here, you’ll find grounded guidance, psychological skills, and supportive education to help you build insight, steady your mind, and move toward the life you want.
