Sheri Jacobs
I became a licensed marriage and family therapist because I enjoy helping others find mental and emotional peace. I have experience providing for a variety of needs ranging from severe challenges to situational difficulties I use various counseling strategies to include Christian counseling. I enjoy working with individuals, families, of all ages including senior citizens assisting those struggling with emotional distress. My work brings me great satisfaction and joy to be a part of growth and transformations .
First session
In our first session together, it is important to establish a good rapport with my client. I want to get to know my clients and ensure that they feel comfortable and safe in my care. We will discuss what their goals are, any history they have with mental healthcare, and their coping skills, as well as any concerns they have that require immediate attention. It is important to know their strengths and who/what they have available as a support network. This information will help me craft a personalized treatment plan for each client.
Strengths
My ability to be in tune and observe nuance in the emotions and responses of others helps me focus on areas where clients need the most attention. I believe that therapy should be presented in a compassionate and understanding manner, so that healing can begin. Asking open-ended questions helps clients find a path to better introspection and clarity.
Ideal clients
I love working with senior citizens, single parents, blended families, women with difficulty creating and maintaining boundaries and self-care routines, as well as clients struggling with depression, and anxiety.
