Getting to know Sheri McGowan

Hi there, I'm Sheri! My name is Sheri McGowan, and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Louisiana with a Master's in Mental Health Counseling from Southern University and A&M College. I have over 10 years of experience working with children and adolescents. My approach My approach to therapy depends on the needs of the client. I use a wide range of counseling techniques; however, I mainly utilize Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT). With CBT, we can focus on changing negative thoughts, behaviors, and feelings. My focus I work with children and adolescents who are dealing with grief, stress, low self-esteem, anxiety, school issues, depression, and ADD/ADHD behaviors. My communication style I aim to create a calm, relaxing, nonjudgmental environment for kids and teens. I understand it can be intimidating to talk with someone you don't know about personal issues, so I strive to make you feel as comfortable as possible. My journey to mental healthcare I decided to become a therapist because I love working with kids and adolescents. Children face emotional challenges just like adults, and I love being able to help them navigate their mental health challenges and improve their well-being. My goals for you My approach to goal setting is working together with clients to set attainable goals. We can begin setting goals once we establish what you would like to accomplish in therapy. My first session with you The first session is about establishing a connection and getting to know you. I am fully prepared to provide you with a safe space to speak freely and openly address any challenges you may face. I am dedicated to tailoring each session to your unique needs.
