What To Expect From Therapy with Sherisse
The First Session-Getting to Know You
The first session is all about getting to know each other. We’ll discuss what brings you to therapy, any challenges you’re facing, and what you hope to achieve.
During this session, you can expect to:
Share a bit about your background and what led you to therapy.
Ask any questions you might have about the process, my approach, or therapy in general.
Discuss your goals and what you’re hoping to gain from our work together
Discuss a way forward and what therapeutic approach I will use to help you achieve your goals.
My Therapeutic Approaches
Everyone’s journey is unique, which is why I draw from a variety of therapeutic approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and mindfulness practices. Here’s a little about each approach:
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): This approach focuses on understanding and changing unhelpful thought patterns that contribute to anxiety, depression, and other challenges. It’s a practical, solution-focused therapy that can help you reframe negative thoughts and build healthier mental habits.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT): DBT is a therapy that combines acceptance and change. It’s particularly useful for managing intense emotions and building skills in mindfulness, distress tolerance, and emotional regulation.
Mindfulness and Relaxation Techniques: Sometimes, the most powerful tools are the simplest. Mindfulness techniques help bring you into the present moment, reducing stress and helping you feel more grounded in your day-to-day life.
We’ll explore these and other approaches to find what resonates best with you. Therapy with a psychologist in Bondi Junction is flexible, so if one approach isn’t working, we’ll adjust and try something different.
