Shereese Bell

Greetings! I'm Shereese Bell, a dedicated and compassionate Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) committed to fostering positive change and empowerment in the lives of my clients. With a passion for holistic well-being, I specialize in utilizing Mindfulness Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and a Strengths-Based approach to help individuals navigate life's challenges and achieve personal growth.

My approach

🧘‍♂️ Mindfulness Therapy : Incorporating the principles of mindfulness into my practice, I guide clients in developing a heightened awareness of their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Through mindfulness techniques, I assist individuals in cultivating a present-moment focus, promoting relaxation, and fostering a deeper understanding of self. This approach proves invaluable in managing stress, anxiety, and enhancing overall mental well-being. 💭 Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT): As a practitioner of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, I work collaboratively with clients to identify and challenge negative thought patterns. By addressing the connection between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, we work together to develop healthier coping strategies and create lasting positive changes. CBT is a powerful tool for managing a range of issues, from anxiety and depression to relationship challenges. 🌈 Strengths-Based Therapy Advocate: Believing in the inherent strengths within each individual, I apply a strengths-based therapy approach to empower clients to harness their unique qualities. By focusing on strengths, resilience, and personal resources, we work together to build a foundation for positive change and personal growth. This approach is particularly effective in enhancing self-esteem, confidence, and overall life satisfaction.

My focus

Children with ADHD and Emotion Dysregulation: I have a passion for supporting the growth and development of children grappling with ADHD and emotion dysregulation. Using a combination of play therapy, mindfulness techniques, and family involvement, I create a safe space where children can explore and express their emotions, develop effective coping strategies, and build essential skills for navigating the complexities of their young lives. Adolescent Girls: Navigating adolescence can be a transformative yet challenging journey. I specialize in working with adolescent girls, providing a supportive environment where they can explore their identity, build self-esteem, and develop healthy coping mechanisms. Addressing issues such as peer relationships, academic stress, and self-image, I guide them toward resilience and self-empowerment. Women Up to Age 35 Facing Anxiety and Depression: For young women up to age 35 experiencing the weight of anxiety and depression, I offer a compassionate and empathetic approach. Through evidence-based therapeutic techniques such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness, and strengths-based therapy, I assist these women in navigating life transitions, managing stressors, and building resilience. My goal is to empower them to overcome challenges and cultivate a positive, fulfilling life.

My communication style

In my counseling sessions, I strive to cultivate an atmosphere of warmth, understanding, and collaboration. I believe that the therapeutic journey is a unique and deeply personal experience, and my goal is to create a safe space where clients feel heard, valued, and empowered. The tone I set is one of empathy and non-judgment. I approach each session with genuine curiosity, seeking to understand the individual experiences and challenges that bring clients to counseling. Together, we explore thoughts, emotions, and behaviors in a way that fosters self-discovery and promotes a deeper understanding of the self. I integrate humor and authenticity into my sessions, recognizing the importance of building a strong therapeutic relationship based on trust. Clients often describe the environment as supportive, encouraging, and free from judgment. I am here not only as a guide but as a partner in the journey towards growth and positive change. If you are seeking a counselor who combines professionalism with a compassionate, down-to-earth approach, I invite you to reach out. Let's embark on this journey of self-discovery and growth together.
