Hi I am Dr. Sharifa and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Psychotherapist, Sound Healer, Child and Adolescence Play Therapist, Reiki practitioner and instructor. I completed my Doctorate in Traditional Naturopathy, and for two decades has worked with children & families to provide goal oriented results, helping individuals to identify & resolve challenges related to every day stressors. I provide treatment to individuals, groups, families and couples helping them identify issues related to their past and present mental health & wellbeing. My techniques include integrating sound and clinical practice of traditional mental health services with a holistic perspective architecting life one session at a time.

I am warm and welcoming to all clients with the plan to assist them to achieve the goals they identify. Collaboratively we will partner for the best outcome and resolve.

I am Solution focused and goal oriented and will be a great fit for anyone who is willing to work towards achieving that.

I believe you have taken the very first step to the rest of your life by selecting me to partner with you!

I look forward to our journey.

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.
