Sheldon Brackett
CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER
Some people may call me bougie, but I see it as exuding extreme swag and confidence. My core thrives on nurturing healthy relationships and empowering individuals to observe, recognize truth, and take authentic action. I am driven by data and result-oriented leadership to make an impact and foster growth. I love spending quality time with my family, going on adventures, playing sports, wearing stylish shoes, drinking wine, and indulging in culinary delights.

ANALYTICS AND BUSINESS SYSTEMS DIRECTOR
I aim to make our organization more efficient, effective, and awesome! I geek out on data and help our team make informed decisions. When I'm not wrangling spreadsheets, I brainstorm new ways to use tech for good. With a passion for travel, good food, and great wine, I'm always searching for the next adventure with my husband.

CLINICAL PROGRAM DIRECTOR
I am deeply committed to ensuring that high-quality mental health care is accessible, and to fostering an environment where clinicians can grow into their best and most capable selves. Outside of work, I cherish the time spent with my family, indulging in crafting, and traveling the 7 seas. A fun fact about me: during the holiday season, you'll find over 25 Christmas trees decking out my home!

Shirley Del Aguila
COMPLIANCE AND QUALITY ASSURANCE DIRECTOR
I’m on a mission to ensure we cross every 'T' and dot every 'I' .Growing up in a first-gen Latinx family has shaped my passion for quality of care and community mental health. Music soothes my soul, insightful podcasts and my son’s endless curiosity fuel me, and my husband perfectly balances my world.

Alicia Allen
DEVELOPMENT DIRECTOR
When I'm not busy turning our ideas and dreams into reality, you'll find me globe-trotting with my family, hiking through nature's wonders, or floating in water with a good book. Off-roading is my jam; I have a green thumb, fireflies fascinate me, and an undying love for a nice Pinot Noir lives in my heart! Fun fact: I once won a hula hoop competition with over 200 contestants.

Amanda McDonnell
HUMAN RESOURCES DIRECTOR
My borderline obsession with employment law, policy, staff development, and compliance drives me to create a work culture that empowers our team to deliver exceptional services to our clients. When I’m not diving deep into HR wonders, you’ll catch me hanging out with family and friends, conquering video game worlds, getting lost in a good book, walking for miles, or trying my hand at whatever new craft catches my fancy.

Rocio Gonzalez
EXECUTIVE ASSISTANT
When I am not being a fairy godmother with a laptop, juggling calendars, calls or coordinating the needs for different teams, I love spending quality time with family and friends and exploring nature. If any of these include dancing and laughter along the way it's an added bonus.

CLINICAL SUPERVISOR II
Inspiration Infuses Passion Inspiration into My Work
“I was inspired by the lack of mental health guidance I was provided within my own childhood and wanting other children to have a safe space and the tools and understanding that I did not have. This is reflected in my work through the rapport and trust built with my clients, the tools and activities I utilize in session, as well as my approach with this population.”
- Mariyah G
My Journey in Non-Profit Work
“Growing up with a single mom who did her best but didn’t always have the right tools to navigate the challenges we faced, I learned firsthand the profound impact that community support can have. Our family leaned on the resources provided by those around us, which made a world of difference in our lives.
This personal experience fuels my dedication to working for Counseling4kids. I deeply understand families' struggles because I've lived them, and I’m driven by a commitment to pay that support forward. Each day, I bring empathy and a passion for helping others to my role, striving to create the same positive impact that once helped my family. This sense of shared experience and purpose shapes my efforts, ensuring that we offer meaningful support to those who need it most.“
-Roxanne D
The Highlight of My Work is Engaging with Children!
“Children are very honest and funny and teachable. Even though there are a lot of tough emotions that come up, my favorite part is knowing that I am giving support to a child who might be needing it and who might not be getting support anywhere else in their life.”
