My name is Sedreka, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker born & raised in Kinston, NC. My journey into this work began with a deep desire to support the very communities that shaped me. I am passionate about supporting teens and young adults. At the same time, I truly value working with individuals of all ages seeking more clarity, joy, & purpose.
My approach to therapy is person-centered, collaborative, and grounded in empathy. I believe you are the expert of your own life, and my role is to walk alongside you — offering support, insight, and tools while honoring your experiences and perspective.
I strive to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where you feel heard and understood. From there, we work together to identify your goals and explore patterns, strengths, and challenges at a pace that feels comfortable for you.
Depending on your needs, I may integrate evidence-based approaches such as cognitive-behavioral techniques, strengths-based interventions, and solution-focused strategies. However, the foundation of our work is always a genuine therapeutic relationship built on trust, respect, and compassion.
We often feel a mix of nerves and curiosity before our first session, and that’s completely normal. My goal is to make the experience feel safe, welcoming, and pressure-free from the very beginning.
During our first session, we’ll focus on getting to know each other. I’ll invite you to share what brought you to therapy, what you’re hoping for, and anything important about your life, experiences, or current challenges. You can share as much or as little as you feel comfortable — there’s no pressure to have everything figured out.
