More about Sherida
- 25 years' experience
- Female
- LCSW
In my 20 years of experience as a psychotherapist, I've found that when people seek help they're often at their most frustrated, sad, angry, or confused. We can feel lost, alone, and believe others can never really understand how tiring it is to act okay & always be strong when there is only pain & chaos going on inside of us. Maybe you are to the point where you just don't have the energy to do the things you want to do or even used to enjoy doing. You may be struggling with deep emotions or conflicts in your family, and no one else understands. Maybe the confusion and stress is so great that you don’t even know how to put it into words. Therapy is a safe place where you can learn more about who you are, and learn the skills to get you where you want to be in life. I have experience working with adults, adolescents, children, couples, and families struggling with depression, anxiety, trauma, or significant life changes. My approach in therapy is meeting you where you are emotionally, and assisting you in setting & achieving your goals. We will work as a team, and use your strengths to develop more constructive thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. My treatment approach combines cognitive-behavioral, rational emotive, and motivational interviewing techniques, all geared toward assisting you in becoming the person you want to be. It takes courage to seek out help and work towards making changes. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to support and empower you to make the changes you desire.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Sherida is great, she constantly offers a new point of view I never would of thought of myself. Highly professional and keeps things light hearted while also discussing real and sometimes depressing topics.
Sherida offers so many little pearls of wisdom I can easily remember and apply in my daily life. Since starting with her my optimism and confidence has grown and I’m finally feeling better after months of being in what felt like a dark pit of despair and negativity. She’s offered me advice and recommendations I’ll carry with me for the rest of my life. :)
Sherida is always patient with me. She listens well and helps me to think of healthy solutions to my issues. She is sincere and easy to talk with. It feels like sharing with a friend, only you can really trust the advice because it's professional! She is there when I need help in urgent type situations and for the day to day stuff. Thank you Sherida!

Sherida has been great to talk to, extremely professional and a huge help in figuring out how to tackle some complicated post-pandemic emotions. I would absolutely recommend working with her to anyone dealing with trauma or a challenging life event.
Sherida is a fantastic therapist. Really understands and is able to get me thinking about my experiences. She asks questions that make me look at things in a different way. Every session is valuable, helpful and usually revelatory (for me at least!) She really is very good

This has been my first counselling experience and Sherida has been great to work with. She listens, asks good questions and gives insightful advice. Thank you for your help Sherida!
Sherida has been so accommodating, lovely, easy to speak to and supportive. I feel as though we’ve been able to get on well and talk through issues candidly while she gives considerate and thoughtful advice.
I really like to work with Sherida. The first therapist who i can trust, helps through with my problems/struggles and i am always looking forward to our new session.
Sherida is the first therapist I’ve ever worked with and it has been an amazing experience. She is a great listener and asks questions that make me think constructively about the obstacles im facing. Her support has reduced my stress greatly and being able to speak with her throughout the covid-19 pandemic has been vital to my mental health. Thanks Sherida!
A lovely and smart woman who makes me feel like I’m conversing to my close friends mom which is very comforting. So far Sherida has made me think of my actions and ideas in a different perspective and is guiding me to a healthier mind set.
I had just one session with Sherida but we kicked it off good. It's easy to talk with her and she gave me some nice tips to quickly try to address my issues.
Amazing, insightful, and incredibly helpful.
Sherida is excellent!
