Sheri Saluga
With over 14 years in healthcare, I provide thoughtful, individualized psychiatric care for patients who want more than a quick medication visit. I specialize in working with both high-risk and general populations, including individuals who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or not fully understood in past treatment experiences. My approach is collaborative and intentional—I take the time to listen, understand the full picture, and work with you to identify the root cause of your symptoms, not just manage them.
My goal is to optimize and restore your mental health with an emphasis on total health not just the treatment of symptoms.
Treatment is tailored, evidence-based, and designed at a pace that feels comfortable for you. Whether you're navigating complex mental health challenges or seeking clarity and balance in your day-to-day life, I provide a supportive, judgment-free space where you can feel heard, respected, and actively involved in your care.
First session
Your first session is a conversation—not a rushed evaluation. We’ll take the time to understand what brought you in, what you’ve been experiencing, and what has or hasn’t worked for you in the past. I’ll ask questions to get a full picture of your mental health, lifestyle, and goals. You don’t need to have everything figured out—just come as you are. By the end of the session, we’ll begin forming a clear, personalized plan together, and you’ll have a better understanding of next steps and options for treatment.
Strengths
What sets my approach apart is the level of thoughtfulness and intention behind each patient’s care. I don’t believe in rushed, one-size-fits-all treatment. Instead, I take the time to understand the full picture and focus on identifying the root cause of symptoms—not just managing them. I work collaboratively with patients, ensuring they feel heard, involved, and confident in their treatment plan. Many of my patients come to me after feeling overlooked or not fully understood elsewhere, and together we create a plan that is personalized, evidence-based, and designed for meaningful, lasting improvement.

Treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) as a practical, skills-based approach to help patients understand the connection between their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. My approach is not rigid or one-size-fits-all—I tailor CBT techniques to each individual so they feel realistic and applicable in everyday life. We focus on identifying unhelpful thought patterns, building awareness, and developing healthier ways to respond to stress, anxiety, and mood changes. I often integrate CBT with medication management and other supportive strategies, so treatment is both comprehensive and effective. The goal is to help you gain tools you can actually use outside of sessions to create lasting change.
