Syreeta graduated from Virginia Commonwealth University. She is a compassionate therapist who helps children, teens, and adults rewrite their life stories toward healing, self-esteem, and purpose. With over 10 years of experience, she uses a person-centered, interactive approach that incorporates mindfulness, expressive arts, play therapy, and CBT techniques. I serve individuals and families who are ready to heal, grow, and reclaim their voice. My practice is designed for those navigating trauma, anxiety, relationship stress, burnout, and major life transitions who desire a safe, affirming, and empowering space to process their experiences and build healthier emotional foundations.
Your first therapy session is a space for us to begin building connection, clarity, and trust. Clients can expect a warm, supportive, and nonjudgmental environment where they are encouraged to share their concerns, goals, and experiences at a pace that feels comfortable for them.
What makes me unique as a therapist is my ability to combine clinical expertise with authenticity, compassion, and real-world understanding. I create a therapeutic space where clients feel genuinely seen, heard, and understood while also being challenged toward growth, healing, and accountability. My professional experience working with children, adolescents, families, and individuals across school, community, and clinical settings has given me a deep understanding of how trauma, stress, behavioral challenges, family dynamics, and life transitions impact emotional well-being. I have experience supporting clients navigating anxiety, emotional dysregulation, interpersonal conflict, self-esteem challenges, and unresolved childhood experiences. As a therapist, I understand that healing is not one-size-fits-all. My approach is culturally responsive, relationship-centered, and tailored to the unique needs of each client. I value creating an environment where clients feel emotionally safe while also developing practical tools they can apply in everyday life.
