Sherly Rainey

Thank you for visiting me.

As a LMHC in Florida with over 10 years of experience, I use evidence-based interventions, i.e. CBT and Trauma-Informed Therapy, to support individuals facing various minor or complex emotional landscapes. I believe in a holistic, empathetic, and collaborative partnership that honors each person's unique story and strengths. I am passionate about working with teens, young adults, men, women, military veterans (I am veteran myself), and the elderly. I employ a little laughter in sessions (only when appropriate) as humor can be helpful at times. Lastly, I provide Christian-based therapy to those who request it.

My therapy sessions center around a collaborate strength-based approach while creating a compassionate environment where clients feel comfortable to explore their challenges and cultivate personal growth, develop healthy coping strategies, build resilience, and create meaningful change in their lives.

I have extensive experience addressing depression and other mood disorders, anxiety, loss/grief, trauma, ADHD, ODD, conduct disorder, relationships, self-esteem concerns, anger management, communication and conflict resolution, attachment issues, personality trait issues, life transitions, and personal growth.

During the first session, I begin to build a friendly rapport with my clients while gathering information to assess my clients' needs. I establish expectations of our therapeutic relationship, discuss the necessary boundaries, and help my clients feel comfortable to open up, using empathic listening.
