I provide a collaborative, honest and authentic approach to therapy session. I am approachable and simply me. In turn, I just want you to be “simply you”. If you're feel we may be a good fit, I'd love to hear from you.

I work with individuals and people in relationships navigating grief, trauma, anxiety, shame, anger, relationship distress, parenting, adoption, identity, and life transitions. Together, we'll slow down enough to notice what has been difficult to see, better understand what's happening beneath the surface, and explore new ways of relating to yourself and others.

As a LMHC and Art Therapist, my work is rooted in the belief that creative expression can be a powerful pathway to healing, insight, and personal growth. My use of art therapy offers a unique way to explore thoughts, emotions and behaviors. Through the creative process you can safely examine experiences, reduce stress, and access deeper self-understanding. No artistic skill or background is needed the focus is on expression, not perfection.

As a therapist, my goal is to provide empathy and compassion in an emotionally safe environment. I am passionate about helping people through the most difficult challenges life may have. I work with people to build their self-worth, ease emotional pain, and help regain a sense of enjoyment in their life as they once had. I envision helping people recognize their strengths, then build on their strengths, to help them to become more self-confident, happy and aware.

I specialize in trauma, PTSD, and perinatal mental health — and I hold particular expertise working with military service members, veterans, and people navigating pregnancy loss, infertility, postpartum depression, and postpartum anxiety. I understand military culture in a way that's hard to put into words, and I take it seriously. I also know firsthand what early motherhood can feel like — the disorientation, the grief that shows up alongside joy, the way it can surface things you thought you'd already dealt with. Having my own child gave me a different kind of understanding of this work, and it informs how I show up for clients going through it. I use evidence-based approaches — including Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), Prolonged Exposure (PE), CBT, and ACT — because you deserve more than good listening. You deserve treatment that has a track record of actually working.

Many people come to therapy feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, trauma, relationship challenges, or life experiences that have left them feeling disconnected from themselves or uncertain about how to move forward. I believe that healing begins with feeling truly seen, heard, and accepted. I am passionate about helping clients recognize their strengths, reconnect with their authentic selves, and build lives that feel more grounded, meaningful, and aligned with who they are.

I earned my Master's degree from Springfield College in 2007 and bring nearly two decades of clinical experience across a wide range of settings, including outpatient clinics, in-home therapy, residential treatment, juvenile justice programs, school-based services, and as a school adjustment counselor. These experiences have given me a deep understanding of how trauma, relationships, and life experiences shape emotional well-being across the lifespan. While my background includes extensive work with children, adolescents, and families, my practice is primarily focused on supporting teens and adults who are navigating life's challenges. I am committed to providing culturally responsive, affirming care that honors each person's unique identity and lived experience.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) offering support for families, adolescents and adults. I have practiced in several settings including school, group home, hospital, and outpatient mental health. I specifically worked with adolescent boys with complex trauma and problematic sexual behaviors. I completed my master’s degree in social work from Columbia University in New York.

Hello and welcome to therapy. You are one step closer on your journey to achieving your goals, passions, and intentions. You and I will develop a therapeutic relationship as you work through trauma, anxiety, depression, and other areas that you would like growth in. You will utilize the strengths that you already have, and keep expanding on those. It is my job to create a safe, open, and person-centered environment. I look forward to working with you on your healing journey! Keep going and growing.

Hello, and welcome. I am Shereda Grossett, MSN, PMHNP-BC, RN. I am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner with extensive experience caring for individuals across a variety of mental health settings. My background includes leadership in inpatient psychiatry, nursing education, and direct patient care.

I specialize in the assessment and treatment of anxiety disorders, depression, bipolar disorder, ADHD, trauma-related disorders, mood disorders, and other psychiatric conditions. I believe that mental health care should be collaborative, compassionate, and individualized. My goal is to create a safe, nonjudgmental environment where clients feel heard, respected, and empowered throughout their treatment journey.

In a world where there is endless advice, online "experts" and seemingly easy fixes, it can be challenging to hit a roadblock and find that nothing feels quite right. Whether it is depression, anxiety, or just a general sense that something is “off”, it keeps you stuck. And you just can't figure out how to fix it. While I have no answers, I offer a place to pause, reflect, and talk about what’s been holding you back. And most importantly, what you want to happen next.
