Getting to know Shatori Dearman

Hi there, I'm Shatori! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, and my approach to therapy is rooted in empathy, collaboration, and cultural sensitivity. I focus on meeting clients where they are, ensuring that each therapeutic interaction is personalized to fit their unique needs and backgrounds. I use a strengths-based approach, integrating evidence-based practices such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and trauma-informed care. In addition, I place a strong emphasis on social resources, assisting clients in navigating available services, including health, housing, and financial support, to foster overall well-being. My approach My therapeutic approach is client-centered, collaborative, and trauma-informed, focused on creating a safe, trusting environment for clients to explore their challenges and strengths. I primarily use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and change unhelpful thought patterns, particularly effective for depression, anxiety, and PTSD. I also draw on Solution-Focused Therapy to empower clients to achieve specific goals, as well as Mindfulness-Based techniques to build self-awareness and resilience. Each session is tailored to the individual to foster growth, resilience, and well-being. My focus I work with a diverse range of clients, including adults facing life transitions, individuals experiencing trauma, veterans, and those managing chronic mental health conditions. I’m particularly experienced with conditions like PTSD, depression, anxiety, and adjustment disorders, and I support clients across varied demographics—including young adults, middle-aged individuals, and those from different cultural backgrounds. My approach is trauma-informed, providing a safe, compassionate space for clients dealing with complex emotional and social challenges. My communication style My communication style is warm, empathetic, and collaborative, with a focus on creating a safe, nonjudgmental environment.
