Sheryl Adams

I am a Clinical Social Worker trained by the University of Washington School of Social Work, specializing in Child and Family issues that span the life span: pregnancy and early parenthood, career change, serious illness, aging. .

I utilize a strengths approach in helping patients develop/monitor health goals, reduce risk of postpartum depression and reduce/cope with depression, sadness, and anxiety. Interventions: Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Mindfulness and Meditation. Specialized training and work experience: Perinatal Mood Disorders, PTSD, Infant Massage, Geriatric Mental Health

My goal in counseling is to help my patients go from where they are to where they want to be. I provide a nurturing, emotionally safe environment for people experiencing life transitions, grief and loss. My patients learn to: 1) understand and better manage anxiety, stress, life transitions, relationships, sleep problems, and disturbing thoughts; 2) identify innate gifts, talents, strengths; 3) develop and work toward achievable goals.
