Why Therapy?

Why therapy?

A practical reason to consider psychotherapy is because you think you may benefit from it, along with a few examples below:

  • Your relationships are currently strained

  • Your anxiety is negatively impacting  your behavior

  • You constantly feel lonely

  • You are considering changing your career goals

About Shari

About Shari

Verified by Psychology Today

I am a psychoanalyst in private practice with over a decade of experience working predominately with BIPOC & LGBTQ identified persons, while remaining inclusive to all populations.

I am trained in various psychotherapeutic modalities & base utilization on the needs of each individuaI, but primarily engage in long term treatment. In addition I am SIFI certified, supervise mental health providers & have been published concerning topics pertaining to mourning and culture.

I have acknowledged that putting my energy into guiding people towards a deeper understanding of their thoughts, emotions & behaviors are where my skill sets & talents expand for individuals, families & the greater society at large.
