Introduction

I firmly believe in the transformative power of therapy and embrace the sentiment expressed by Carl Jung, ‘I am not what happened to me. I am what I choose to become.’ My name is Sherissa, and I am a dedicated Registered Associate Marriage and Family Therapist #132207, working under the expert supervision of Judy Benvenuto, LMFT. Whether through convenient telehealth sessions or in-person consultations, I am committed to providing a supportive and healing environment for my clients. My passion lies in connecting with individuals across various age groups, including children, teens, adults, and families, who are navigating a spectrum of mental health concerns. Specializing in anxiety, depression, trauma, autism spectrum disorder, behavioral challenges, and adjustment issues, I draw from 15 years of experience. As a seasoned Behavior Management Assistant, I have worked extensively with diverse populations, focusing on dual diagnoses involving neurodevelopmental disorders like Intellectual disabilities, ADHD, and various mental health conditions. Additionally, I gained valuable experience as an intern at a behavior and therapeutic middle school for a year. My approach begins with meeting clients where they are, fostering curiosity, and exercising patience. Building trust is paramount, and I lead with compassion and authenticity. Utilizing a person-centered, culturally sensitive, and collaborative approach, I incorporate evidence-based therapy practices to assist clients in achieving their therapeutic goals. My mission is to empower clients to enhance their well-being, self-esteem, and confidence, facilitating happier, healthier, and more productive lives. I guide individuals toward realizing their full potential, navigating life’s challenges, and processing complex traumas that may arise throughout various stages of life. Recognizing the uniqueness of each client’s story, culture, and lived experiences, I create a safe and validating space. Here, clients can feel heard, trusted, and understood as they embark on their journey towards healing and self-discovery. Together, we can navigate the path to a brighter and more fulfilling future.
