Dear potential client (s) My name is Sherri and I am a licensed marriage family therapist and life coach in California. I offer psychotherapy and life coaching to individuals grappling with some of life's more challenging transitions. Whether you are experiencing grief from the loss of a significant loved one, the end of the a significant relationship, or have a broken heart, I am here to be a calm presence during turbulent times. Perhaps you are experiencing a cycle of stops and starts, but have been unable to access a sense of inner calm. Or you have experienced repetitive patterns of loneliness, an inability to decipher your life's purpose, or you struggle to form and/or maintain intimate partnerships. I work with individuals in order to improve self confidence and live more authentic lives, resolve relationship conflicts, and process early relational wounding and trauma in order to resolve faulty belief systems and address unconscious patterns. I work primarily from an attachment based understanding of human development that seeks to reclaim aspects of the self that were left by the wayside in order to adapt to early conditioning, often related to cultural norms, rigid gender conditioning, and outdated social expectations. I offer a depth of tools designed to help you reconnect with your core sense of self, and heal early relational wounding that have shaped your belief systems and sense of worthiness in the world. In addition to 6 + years of clinical experience, I have earned the highest level of education in my field. Additionally, I have committed myself to a decade if spiritual practice, which has given me the ability to see through entrenched defense systems and patterns, and has helped me to develop a deep sense of empathy and attunement to the unconscious whispers of the soul. I offer a highbred approach to psychotherapy that often includes life-coaching. I conceptualize my role as akin to the Irish concept of "soul friend" a Celtic concept that emphasizes the importance of having someone that acts as a confidant that connects and understands you at the deepest level. Thus, I believe in treating others with respect, sensitively and compassion. I will tailor our dialogue and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific goals. I understand, from my own experience, that taking the first step towards a more fulfilling life often takes courage and I am here to support you in that process.

Hello! I look forward to working with your child and/or teenager. I acknowledge that taking the first step to commit to therapy can take courage, and I recognize that it may feel challenging to open up. Many people reach out during the most vulnerable moments of their lives. I hope to help you in learning to manage current symptoms, create a sustainable, healthy, and grounded future filled with hope and tools to add to your toolbox. I consider this profession a responsibility and a gift and look forward to being a witness to your healing journey. :-) I am a Latinx, multicultural, and bilingual (Spanish/English) Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in California. I enjoy getting to know my clients and taking the time to hear their experiences, explore their emotions, examine past experiences —both positive and negative —and understand their impact on their lives and work towards healing. I have provided mental health services for over fifteen years to at-risk children and adolescents who they or their families have experienced trauma, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), abuse, anger, conflict resolution, anxiety, depression, anger management, generational trauma, juvenile delinquency, gang activity, drug/alcohol abuse, family violence, divorce, grief and loss, crisis intervention, and others Life, at times, can be hard, but this does not mean that an individual must manage it alone in this journey of life! I have a bachelor's degree in Psychology (2006) from Sonoma State University. As well as a Master’s in Social Work from San Jose State University (2008). I obtained my LCSW in 2019. I have been privileged to work with a diverse group of clients in early childhood mental health. I have worked in the non-profit sector, with Child Protective Services, and most recently at a K-12 school providing mental health services as a school therapist to all students and, in particular, students receiving special education services. A bit about my approach to therapy: There is no cookie-cutter approach or "one size fits all" when it comes to dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, and/or grief and loss. As an LCSW, I approach therapy with a trauma-informed and strengths-based lens to ensure my clients feel heard and learn the appropriate coping skills that are right for THEM to feel empowered. I work collaboratively with clients and integrate creative strategies through journaling, music, guided imagery, and expressive arts to process and express emotions, to increase mood regulation, and emotional resilience. In addition, I am my client’s sounding board to assist them in getting to a place of reflection and exploring solution-focused strategies. My approach to therapy is warm, collaborative, and grounded in evidence-based practices such as Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy, Family Systems Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, and other modalities as therapeutically appropriate. I strive to create a non-judgmental environment, meeting clients where they are while holding space to ensure that clients feel safe and heard. I provide a client-centered therapeutic approach where you are the expert of your own life. You do not have to tell me your story unless you want to. If you get stuck, I can provide guidance to reach your full potential. Respecting your boundaries and pace is meeting you where you are. I use a somatic approach through mindfulness, meditation exercises, to facilitate self-love, self-understanding, clarity, progressive muscle relaxation to foster a holistic approach mind-body connection and letting go of unhelpful patterns held in your body and mind. What you can expect from our first session: Our first several sessions will be getting to know each other, and you decide if we are good fit. I do not provide couples’ therapy. We will then check the best available times through consistent weekly or bi-weekly appointments for you virtually. After this, we will continue to collaborate, where I will ask questions designed to better understand what you are struggling with, what your goals are for treatment, and what you would most like to get out of therapy. Our sessions will always be within 30-45 minutes. Spanish Translation ¡Hola! ¡Espero trabajar con su hijo/a o adolescente! Soy una trabajadora social clínica licenciada (LCSW) latina, multicultural y bilingüe (español/inglés) en California. Disfruto conocer a mis clientes y tomarme el tiempo para escuchar sus experiencias, explorar sus emociones, examinar experiencias pasadas, tanto positivas como negativas, comprender el impacto en sus vidas y trabajar hacia la sanación. Llevo más de quince años brindando servicios de salud mental. He brindado consejería a niños, adolescentes y familias en riesgo que enfrentan trauma, trastorno de estrés postraumático (TEPT), abuso, ira, resolución de conflictos, ansiedad, depresión, manejo de la ira, trauma generacional, delincuencia juvenil, pandillas, abuso de drogas y alcohol, violencia familiar, divorcio, duelo y pérdida, e intervención en crisis. La vida, a veces, puede ser difícil, pero esto no significa que una persona deba afrontarla sola en este camino. Tengo una licenciatura en Psicología (2006) de la Universidad Estatal de Sonoma y una maestría en Trabajo Social de la Universidad Estatal de San José (2008). Obtuve mi título de Trabajador Social Certificado (LCSW) en 2019. He tenido el privilegio de trabajar con un grupo diverso de clientes en el área de la salud mental infantil. He trabajado en el sector sin fines de lucro, con los Servicios de Protección Infantil y, más recientemente, en una escuela primaria y secundaria, brindando servicios de salud mental como terapeuta escolar a todos los estudiantes, en particular a los que reciben servicios de educación especial. Un poco sobre mi enfoque terapéutico: No existe un enfoque universal para abordar la ansiedad, la depresión, el trauma y/o el duelo y la pérdida. Como Trabajador Social Certificado (LCSW), abordo la terapia desde una perspectiva centrada en el trauma y en las fortalezas para asegurar que mis clientes se sientan escuchados y aprendan las habilidades de afrontamiento adecuadas para que se sientan empoderados. Trabajo en colaboración con mis clientes e integro estrategias creativas mediante un diario, música, imágenes guiadas y artes expresivas para procesar y expresar emociones, mejorar la regulación del estado de ánimo y la resiliencia emocional. Además, soy su caja de resonancia para ayudarles a reflexionar y explorar estrategias centradas en soluciones. Mi enfoque terapéutico es cálido, colaborativo y se basa en prácticas basadas en la evidencia, como la terapia cognitivo-conductual centrada en el trauma (TF-CBT), la terapia cognitivo-conductual (TCC), la terapia centrada en soluciones, la terapia de sistemas familiares, la terapia dialéctica conductual y otras modalidades según sea terapéuticamente apropiado. Me esfuerzo por crear un entorno sin prejuicios, encontrándome con los clientes donde estén y manteniendo el espacio para asegurar que los clientes se sientan seguros y escuchados. Ofrezco un enfoque terapéutico centrado en el cliente donde usted es el experto de su propia vida. No tiene que contarme su historia a menos que lo desee. Si se estanca, puedo brindarle orientación para alcanzar su máximo potencial. Respetar sus límites y su ritmo es encontrarme con usted donde esté. Utilizo un enfoque somático a través de la atención plena, ejercicios de meditación, para facilitar el amor propio, la autocomprensión, la claridad y la relajación muscular progresiva para fomentar un enfoque holístico de conexión mente-cuerpo y dejar ir los patrones inútiles que se mantienen en su cuerpo y mente. Qué puedes esperar de nuestra primera sesión: Nuestras primeras sesiones serán para conocernos y tú decidirás si somos compatibles. No ofrezco terapia de pareja. Después, buscaremos los mejores horarios disponibles mediante citas virtuales semanales o quincenales. Después, seguiremos colaborando, donde te haré preguntas para comprender mejor tus dificultades, tus objetivos de tratamiento y qué te gustaría obtener de la terapia. Nuestras sesiones siempre duran entre 45 y 50 minutos. Reconozco que dar el primer paso para comprometerte con la terapia requiere valentía y que abrirse puede ser difícil. Muchas personas buscan ayuda en los momentos más vulnerables de sus vidas. Espero ayudarte a aprender a manejar los síntomas actuales y a crear un futuro sostenible, saludable y con fundamento, lleno de esperanza y herramientas que puedas añadir a tu arsenal terapéutico. Considero esta profesión una responsabilidad y un don, y espero ser testigo de tu proceso de sanación. :-)

Does BetterHelp take insurance?
Yes, BetterHelp has joined with major insurance carriers in select states to provide in-network therapy coverage. Coverage may vary by plan, provider, and therapist availability.

Explore insurance coverage in major Texas cities like Arlington, Lubbock, Plano, Corpus Christi, El Paso, Houston, Dallas, San Antonio, Fort Worth, and Austin.
How does the cost of an in-person therapist compare to BetterHelp?
The average price of an in-person therapy session in the US with most therapists is $100 to $200 per hour. These prices may be higher in Ione due to a higher cost of living, and a limited number of therapists taking new clients. The price also depends on the type of provider you are looking for. See the following average prices for various mental health providers without insurance:
- With a psychiatrist: $150-$500
- With therapists: $100-300
- With a clinician: $100
While many psychologists in Ione may not take health insurance, some in the state of California may work on a sliding scale, meaning they'll factor in your income and charge what you can afford per session.

Is BetterHelp right for me?
One of the potentially rewarding aspects of working with a therapist is the validation and active listening they can provide. Your friends and loved ones may also be available to listen, but you may feel that they may lack the skills to provide objective guidance. Counselors are trained to respond to various concerns, symptoms, and mental health conditions.
Therapists in your city can support you toward a healthier emotional state, regardless of your mental health, life concerns, or healing needs. While supporting individuals in developing healthier habits, another good benefit of therapy in Ione is having an understanding, safe space with a non-judgmental party who can support you through challenging experiences.
Many people have sensitive topics that they may feel ashamed to discuss with their friends or partner. A therapist can help you confront these concerns and open up through unique methods of support. There are also many types of therapy, where you may find you can express yourself through creativity instead of words with a psychotherapist.
With a lot of people in CA, therapists may be booked out with clients. Through the list of profiles above and others within BetterHelp's team, you may be able to find a psychologist within 24 to 48 hours.

Should I find a Ione therapist or psychologist for therapy if I feel fine?
Some simply don't feel the need to see a psychologist. However, some people may avoid attending therapy due to stigma or preconceived notions of what it might entail. Although psychologists often support people with mental health conditions, you do not need a diagnosis or specific condition. You can discuss grief, relationship concerns, stress, or life changes and ask for general feedback. A Ione licensed clinical social worker may help you gain power over your life and emotions while you navigate day-to-day experiences.
Gaining a new perspective on yourself through various therapies might allow you to improve your self-esteem, work through relationships, and gain a better sense of your mental health goals. The success you may find with a counselor can be dependent on your process.
People may also attend therapy for specific motives, such as bullying, an autism diagnosis, a desire to learn mindfulness meditation, personality concerns, trouble with office workers, specific phobias, and many other principles that a counselor can help with.

Is therapy worth it?

An experienced clinician can target various symptoms, experiences, and personalities to help you feel your best and put you on the path to healing.

Counseling with an online Ione provider
Do therapists judge you in therapy?
The boundaries between you and a therapist are in place to help you and them regarding ethical concerns. Mental health professionals are held by ethical standards through the American Psychological Association (APA) and are not allowed to judge or harm their clients. If you are concerned about sharing details about yourself, feel free to withhold personal information. Their job in the therapeutic relationship is to create a safe place, help you gain a deeper understanding of your mental health, and support you. You might consider changing counselors if you don't feel safe or respected.
