My name is Sherika Thomas-Miller and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Montgomery, AL, and working with clients statewide via telehealth or in-office. I work with adolescents to Geriatric and specialize in stress, depression, and anxiety using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help my clients make progress throughout their therapeutic journey.
My approach
My approach to therapy varies based on the needs of each client I work with. I incorporate a Holistic approach as it helps the client understand how each aspect of their well-being is connected. I frequently use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance Commitment Therapy as both modalities help me and the client obtain an understanding of their reality.
My focus
I have found that my approach is a good fit for young adults and geriatric as it assists them with the challenges of life. I work with clients to navigate through the challenges by building the necessary skills needed to allow clients to use them to feel comfort and develop a positive well-being.
My communication style
My communication style is calm and pleasant. I thrive at wanting my clients to feel at ease when talking to me about anything. I pride myself on my ability to listen without any judgment.
My journey to mental healthcare
I decided to become a therapist because I have always wanted to help others. Whether it was volunteering in my community or just being a trusted and loyal friend, I have always had a spirit of supporting others in their time of need.
My goals for you
My approach to goal setting with clients is about collaborating to define what the client wants. It starts by establishing a rapport so you can be comfortable throughout your journey. Within the duration of your journey, we will set goals and track your progress periodically.
My first session with you
In your first session, we will spend a lot of time discussing your emotions and challenges and I will be providing feedback along the way. This session is all about building rapport between us and gathering an understanding of what is needed for you to help you throughout your therapeutic journey.
