First session

Clients can expect us to discuss how therapy works, briefly review their completed intake paperwork and discuss why they are seeking therapy. From there we collaboratively can develop the clients treatment goals.

Strengths

My greatest strengths are I’m relatable , non judgmental and I take a collaborative approach towards treatment.

Ideal clients

I enjoy working with tweens and teen and their parents. I also enjoy working with adults of all ages who are ready to address and improve in the areas discussed in session.

Treatment methods

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

The mind is powerful. CBT helps clients to see the connection between thoughts, feelings and behaviors and how to reframe negative thinking.

I appreciate the direct, goal/solution oriented, authentic, and empowering approach I have experienced thus far during my sessions with Shareela. She has helped me to identify areas of opportunity for me to grow within and in relationships. Ultimately, these areas are encouraging me to experience less anxiety, depression and conflict.
