Therapists in Clifton Forge, VA

I am a licensed clinical social worker with over 15 years of experience in helping people find solutions to their problems. Over the years, I have been told by clients that they really feel that I am listening to them and trying to understand what is going on in their lives and how they feel. Clients have also told me that they do not feel any sense of judgment, but rather that I accept them for who they are and where they are in their life’s journey. My style is empathetic and solution focused. I will spend time asking you questions in order to get to know you and try to find out what is at the heart of your issue. Together, we will talk about possible avenues you may want to take, or changes you may want to consider. I may give you some “homework” assignments…things to write out or think about, worksheets to complete, or even techniques/exercises to practice in your own time so that some of what we discuss in our sessions is reinforced. Most of all, I will be an objective listener, helping you to gain insight into what is going on with you, so that you are able to make the choices and changes you want to, in your own time. I look forward to working with you!

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Virginia, Connecticut, and Washington State with over four years of clinical therapy and over 20 years of working with everyday people who are ready to change their current circumstances. My work has afforded me with opportunities to partner with those managing anxiety, caregivers’ fatigue, workplace stress, and other life changes. As an Integrative Therapist my style incorporates psychology concepts, solution focused outcomes, and strength-based approaches that empower resilience where they are, no matter the situation. With every session, it is my goal to ensure our therapy experience is safe, engaging, and thought provoking. With every client that enrolls into therapy, it is my belief that they are the experts on your own narrative, and they possess numerous strengths that will enable them to evoke accountability, create balanced energy, mental clarity, and command of their own lives. It is my absolute pleasure to join each one of my clients on their journey of possibility. Our journey awaits us! Best regard, Shervonne
