Dr. Sherilynn Asuoha is a licensed clinical professional counselor, published author, and educator. She holds a certificate in Christian ministry from the Sophia Institute of Kingdom Pathway Church and a Doctor of Education from Bradley University. Her current research and practice is grounded in two evidence-based, relational, result-oriented frameworks: Sanctuary Model (Bloom, 2008) and Culture of Care (Greenhough, Davies, and Bowlby, 2022)- both frameworks, though developed for distinguished systemic purposes, share a common emphasis on the power of relationship, values, and accountability- the most integral elements for establishing the culture and conditions required for healing, recovery and thriving after crises.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
Our first session starts with knowing. We will get to know one another, we will establish priorities, expectations and a plan for our time together. We will decide what victory looks like. We will move from knowing, to understanding, to decision- making and track progress and outcomes along the way.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
Connecting, hearing, and teaching are my strengths. I love knowing what matters to people and helping people see and employ their strengths. I promote growth mindsets. We should be forever learners vs. limiting ourselves to past knowledge. I am strongest in the following therapeutic interventions: Psychoeducation Narrative Therapy Motivational Interviewing Cognitive Behavior Therapies Dialectical Behavior Therapies The aforementioned therapies promote distress tolerance, emotional regulation, effective communication, value-based decision making, healthy social skills, boundaries, self-care, empathy, action planning, and other skills needed to live a healthy, meaningful, and productive life and empower humans to write a better story.

Christian Counseling
As a licensed clinical professional counselor and ordained Christian minister, I engage and encourage the force of presence and that of prophecy (my definition of prophecy is when we say what God has already spoken over a matter in accordance with His word. I use Christian therapy for those requesting to promote growth in any or every aspect of life. Christian counseling is established on the power of God's word and healthy relationship. ,
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I’ve been using CBT in my practice for the past 15 years as it is an evidence based best practice treatment modality that empowers clients to change patterns of thinking that lead to negative behaviors and outcomes in life reducing anxiety and depressive symptoms.
Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
As a practitioner clinical leader in residential and intensive outpatient settings for more than a decade individual with addictive, codependent, anxiety based conditions benefit from treatment interventions and tools that promote balance in their thinking and processing patterns which lead to employment of healthier, safer coping strategies vs wishful or hopeless thinking and healthier relationships and decision - making.
