Sally Cermeno

I am Sally Cermeno a LMFT specializing in repairing relationships, managing emotions and helping the body feel safe and secure again. Safety is necessary to turn off the threat system, which reduces anxiety, improves sleep, improve appetite and help you return to strengthening the connections in your life.

I specialize in treating trauma responses, whether it’s big trauma or accumulation of little trauma. I am certified in EMDR, CBT, DBT and my ongoing interest in the mind-body connection has led to using somatic interventions in therapy. These interventions promote safety and security before addressing symptoms; this provides connection between the mind-body.

Our first session is a space for you to arrive just as you are. I’ll provide a therapeutic environment that centers emotional safety, dignity, and authenticity. Together, we’ll begin by exploring what brings you in—your current concerns, your story, and the experiences that have shaped your journey so far.

By the end of our time together, you can expect to:

• Gain a clearer understanding of your experiences, including education about any diagnoses or patterns we identify
• Begin identifying supportive practices or outside resources that align with your needs
• Collaboratively develop a treatment plan that reflects your goals, values, and pace

This plan will serve as a flexible blueprint for our work together—guiding future sessions while leaving room for growth, insight, and change. Your voice and preferences are central to this process.
