Getting to know Shamera Shavon Terry

Therapy can be a beneficial tool to improve the quality of your life. I specialize in depression, bipolar disorder, anxiety, and trauma-related issues. My approach is client-centered and client-led, to ensure that your needs are being addressed at a pace that works best for you. I work to help empower you on your growth/healing journey. My approach I have 7+ years of training in various evidence-based practices, but enjoy using CBT, Mindfulness, and Trauma-informed care to address mental health needs. My therapeutic approach is very collaborative to ensure you and I are working and learning together to meet your goals. My focus I work with adults to process past trauma, develop new coping skills, and create a safe space to process feelings. A lot of times, life can be difficult to manage, and it can be hard to ask for help; therapy can be a helpful tool to heal and learn new skills to be the best version of you. My communication style I have an empathetic, open communication style, and use active listening to support you. I model this communication style intentionally to promote similar communication from my clients. My journey to mental healthcare I've always had a passion for helping others. I earned my Bachelor's in Psychology with a minor in Child development from California State University, Long Beach (Go Beach!), and I went on to earn my Master's of Social Work with a generalist practice curriculum. I have done years of case management, client advocacy, and individual therapy. I have several years of experience working with underserved populations to improve the overall quality of life, in various settings from schools, non-profit mental health agencies, acute hospitals, and correctional facilities. My goals for you I work collaboratively with you to identify clear treatment goals. I believe that you are the driver of your growth, and I am a supporter in helping you reach your identified goals.
