In the past, I have enjoyed working with individuals with a history of traumatic experiences, substance use, interpersonal difficulties, and psychosis. I enjoy working on goals with clients that involve cognitive restructuring and skills building. Additionally, I enjoy short-term solution-focused goals.

My ideal client is someone who is willing to work with me and engage with me effectively. This includes open lines of communication and utilizing therapy times efficiently. I don't believe that progress can be rushed and have no interest in "fixing" anyone. However, I am always honest in my assessments, thoughts, and opinions with clients, and my hope is that my client will do the same. My ideal client is a client who is eager to talk and is open to feedback. My ideal client is also someone who is willing to work through set backs or challenges, together as a team.

Clients struggling with anxiety, depression, BPD, trauma, relationship issues are areas I have much experience addressing.

My ideal client would be someone who is ready and willing to participate in treatment. I am comfortable with an array of different diagnoses and struggles. Their needs would include working towards tangible goals that we are able to breakdown in the treatment setting. They may want to work on self-esteem, depression, anxiety, PTSD symptoms etc. They would want to minimize their symptoms and improve everyday functioning. The goal would ultimately be to no longer need treatment as they have reached their goals.

I have worked with adults, adolescents, children and families for over 25 years with a variety of presenting issues including but not limited to Anxiety, OCD, ADHD, Depression and Behavioral Issues. In the last 20 years, I have also specialized in the treatment of women, and couples suffering from prenatal and postpartum disorders.

Social Worker for over 18 years in various settings, which include Skilled Nursing Facilities, Elder Services, Private Mental Health Counseling and a Visiting Nurse Agency.

My ideal client is prepared to initiate changes in their life to promote wellness.

Hello! My name is Shera. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and a Registered Art Therapist (ATR). I have a background in anthropology and studio art, and am passionate about merging my interests into a positive and creative therapeutic practice.

Clients who value growth through insight,emotional awareness and creativity, do well with me. By growth I mean moving towards being more mindful. Being more present in body,mind and,sprit. I am best suited to treating depression, anxiety,trauma,sexual identity issues, as well as relationship issues and issues of life purpose including career and relationships. I also specialize in working with people who have been diagnosed or their child has been Diagnosed with an illness such as Type 1 diabetes.

My strength and joy are working with people seeking treatment for depression, anxiety, self-esteem, substance use disorders, marriage and family conflict, cultural or generational issues, and those with trauma histories. I also provide faith-based counseling.

I can't say that I have an ideal client, as every client presents with their own unique set of strengths and challenges. I find myself drawn to clients whose lives have been significantly negatively impacted by the systems they belong to. Aiding clients with the tools and resources to work on breaking those generational cycles of trauma or poverty, is one of the most rewarding experiences I can have as a therapist. I truly believe that all clients have the ability to overcome whatever challenges they may be experiencing and achieve their personal goals. My only job is to help them develop the tools to do so.

Making the decision to start therapy can be daunting. As a clinical social worker with many years of experience, I have witnessed the human capacity to change and overcome life's most difficult challenges. I utilize trauma-informed care practices to provide a safe space that allows you to process complex emotions, as well as build insight and skills to manage life stressors.

Are you going through a transition in life? Maybe you are seeking further education in a career or trying to seek insight into the age-old question "What do I want to be when I grow up?" If you feel stuck, depressed, or anxious at the thought of the previous question, I am your person.
