We all struggle to find our ways from time to time. You might be stuck with your partner, unable to find ways to communicate or connect to the person you love. You're left feeling lost, alone and unsure where to turn. There might be relationships in your past that pull at you and keep you from living the life you want to lead. Being in this place can feel like quicksand and make it impossible to move out of. Although you may want to reach out, you still might not be sure if therapy is right for you, that's okay. We can work together to figure out how to get you out of that quicksand and feeling like you are back on solid ground.

Everyone encounters stress, loss, relationship difficulties, setbacks, and challenges at various points in life. In my work with clients, many common symptoms are experienced: Difficulty sleeping, concentrating, feeling sad, irritable, stuck, not taking good care of ourselves, and making dangerous or impulsive decisions as a means of escape for feelings of sadness, anxiety, anger, or boredom. I offer sensitive, non-judgmental support, and true commitment in order to achieve goals. For more information regarding my practice, please visit: www.drhersha.com

Let’s work together to get meaningful change in your life. The stressors of life do not discriminate, and will find us all at some point. And while we are more than capable of handling them, we can reach a place where it feels overwhelming. It’s at this place that we forget about how capable we truly are, and success feels out of reach. That is where I come in. Together we will help you find the strength you have always had to overcome your challenges, and help you develop into an even greater you.

Suffering in silence can be incredibly painful. You freeze up at the thought of sharing your story with others around you, afraid of their reactions. You’re angry at yourself for not being able to "get it together," and you berate and belittle yourself daily. Whether you are struggling to cope with feelings of profound despair, manage an addiction, overcome marital issues, or transition careers, you second guess yourself at every juncture. You’re living in space of uncertainty and loneliness. And as much as you want to reach out, you continue to hide your truth out of fear and shame, putting up a guard that seems impenetrable.

I will help you identify a goal and work with you step-by-step to achieve that goal.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with extended treatment experience.

I am a clinical psychologist with 15 years of experience working with people struggling with relationship issues, creative blocks, anxiety, depression, grief and loss, chronic and acute illness (including cancer), and trauma. My style is pragmatic and flexible; there is no one-size-fits-all when it comes to individual therapy. I listen with empathy to create a safe environment, while also providing valuable and straightforward feedback. In addition to therapy, I offer psychological evaluation services: assessment of neuro-cognitive functioning and emotional dynamics, as well as pre-adoptive parental evaluations.

I help patients deal with blocks that prevent them having the best possible life and healthy, loving relationships. I use an empathetic, psychodynamic approach but also employ cognitive techniques - i.e. exercises during the session and homework. I want to help people notice and change their self-destructive patterns. I also help artists uncover the roots of their struggles with motivation and self-doubt.

I believe people find they have more success towards improving themselves when they are in a safe place. I am here to help work through and discuss any uncomfortable feelings or issues you may be having both face to face and virtually. In my approach to therapy, I create a safe supportive environment to assist exploration of emerging relationship patterns and themes. It's important to help every individual develop an appreciation for their story and to work on acceptance in order to move forward without feeling alone.

The most important part of therapy is the relationship between the therapist and client. I pride myself in building strong, caring therapeutic alliances. I have expertise in treating anxiety, depression, chronic illness, phobias, and PTSD. Nobody likes to admit that they need help, but sometimes it can be a life transforming opportunity.

Life has become exhausting and unsatisfying, and old, painful memories suddenly feel new. It’s been months of numbness, stagnation, and, at times, panic. This is the first problem you cannot seem to fix. I’m not going to tell you how to fix your life. I’m also not going to work to try to change who you are. I will give you the skills you need so that you can get back up and be your own hero. I’ll teach you how to find your voice and claim power over your life.

Three tips to help you select a therapist: 1. Read our bios. 2. Check out our websites. 3. Call us. The best way to overcome the anxiety of choosing a therapist is to hear our voice.

I believe in a genuine partnership between a therapist and client and aim to create a safe space full of empathy and curiosity. I find myself drawn to helping people find the tools to more successfully communicate with those they hold dear. There are many unique facets to our individual lives, and each piece has helped to create the person, people, and family that surrounds us today. Approaching therapy with a Marriage and Family Therapy background simply means that I view each individual as part of a whole system, with many influences at play. Family, chosen relationships, and society all affect the choices we make.
