As a Certified Family and Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, Sherie is holisically oriented towards clients as Bio-Psycho-Social-Spiritual beings and believe the best treatment for Mental Health encorporates the "Whole" being using not only traditional medications and psychotherapy, but an integrative treatment approach that looks at nutrition, exercise, sleep, and non-traditional approaches.
Traditional psychotherapy consist of a blend of Cognitive Behavioral Treatment (CBT), Dialectical Behavioral Treatment (DBT), and short term - solution focused treatments.
