About
Sherrell
I'm a Licensed Social Worker based in Buffalo, NY committed to helping people unlearn hurtful habits and navigate difficult times and situations with healthy coping strategies. My work emphasizes the importance of self-love and self-care while identifying strengths, recognizing ineffective behaviors and beliefs, and increasing self-awareness. I'm passionate about helping individuals regulate their emotions and overcome feelings of fear, self-doubt, and rejection — working with people ages 18–45 who are struggling with life transitions, negative thoughts, stress, anxiety, depression, self-esteem, and trauma.
What it's like
What clients can expect
A Grounded, Nonjudgmental Space: Therapy with me is a place where you can show up fully — honest, vulnerable, and real — while feeling supported, safe, and respected.
Trauma-Informed, Compassionate Care: I approach our work with sensitivity to your lived experiences, helping you process, heal, and make sense of patterns without shame or pressure.
Intentional Growth & Emotional Tools: You'll gain practical coping skills, self-awareness, and strategies to manage stress, navigate transitions, and build a healthier relationship with yourself.
How I work
Therapeutic approach
My clinical approach integrates evidence-based practices, including Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), while centering the unique cultural identities and lived experiences of each client. I work to empower clients by building on their strengths and fostering resilience.
Why I do this work
Personal philosophy
I believe in taking a collaborative approach to helping clients reach their goals and holding them accountable to do so. Whenever you're ready, I am here to see you, hear you, support you, and celebrate you on your growth journey. I know starting therapy can seem hard and maybe even a little scary, so shout out to you for making it this far. If you're interested in taking the next step to talk about your life goals, please request a session.
