New to Grow
My name is Sherry Ackerman, LCSW and I am a licensed clinical social worker in New York with over 20 years of experience working as a psychotherapist. I have extensive experience working with children, adult and teens with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, school/career challenges, Autism and ADHD. I also have helped many adults who have experienced trauma and/or abuse and relationship/ career issues.
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
It takes courage to search for a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards making a change. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you. I look forward to working with you!
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
My ideal therapeutic approach is holistic. I tend to meet the client where they are at and use CBT or Cognitive Behavior Therapy to improve client's lifestyle.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
My ideal client is someone who is ready and willing to work on themselves and is ready to see some real improvements in their lives.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
My counseling style is warm and holistic approach. I believe in treating anyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. I am eclectic in my approach and combine cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, psychodynamic and insight -oriented therapies. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.
