Although Shemeah spent over 30 years working in child and adolescent therapy, she has since embraced serving adults through individual and couples counseling.
Yes, it is crazy “out there” and sometimes the “crazy” within makes it difficult to discern where one ends and the other begins. “It’s overwhelming, I don’t know why…It wasn’t always like this.” “I find myself frozen in the middle of it all wondering where I fit in, what’s it all about?” “Why am I here?” “I don’t know who I am.” Let’s talk…using a variety of therapeutic approaches together we can move through and process the events, situations, experiences, etc. that have you immobilized. I believe in treating the whole person and employing different therapeutic modalities based on what aligns with you and your needs.

My focused intention as a pastoral/spiritual counselor is to offer clients the time and space to go within and explore the wonderous galaxies we each have inside of us. With this new information, one can become more consciously aware of how to choose to engage with others – as well as themselves – so that all aspects of the individual can evolve into a congruent harmonious wholeness. As the client "listens up," to what is shared in our sessions, they can then "listen in" as they pay attention and follow the guidance of their own inner "guru," which is the heart.

Life is messy, and sometimes, so are we. When it becomes overwhelming, we often forget our own strengths and solutions that we've relied on before. Engaging in therapy services can be challenging, as there is such a stigma in asking for help. I offer a warm and non-judgmental approach, with a side of humor if needed. I have worked in multiple settings, including acute psychiatric care, hospitals, schools, and in clinics. I want to continue to help those who want to improve their quality of life in the way they live, think, relate, or connect to others, and how they demonstrate their authentic selves.

Teen Therapists

What does therapy for teenagers look like?

When a therapist works with a teenager, the pair will talk about what the teen is struggling with and explore solutions, which may involve interpersonal skills, coping strategies, medication, or lifestyle changes related to sleep, diet, and exercise. Different therapists employ different modalities, but most involve a combination of conversation and skill building.

How long does therapy for teenagers generally take to work?

There’s variability in teenagers’ experiences and challenges; some may begin to improve from therapy within a few weeks while others may take several months or longer. Teens can discuss their progress with their therapist periodically to assess how they’re improving and any changes to the treatment plan that could potentially accelerate that progress.

How do you encourage a teenager to go to therapy?

It’s helpful to express your concern and love while framing therapy as an opportunity to explore a tool that could help improve their life; just like they practice baseball or dance, now they can practice their emotional skills. Give your teen control over the process where you can—maybe by weighing in on choice of therapist and signaling that therapy involves confidentiality, so a parent need not know all that is discussed in sessions.

How do you prepare teens for therapy?

You can prepare your teenager for therapy by describing what the process will look like and setting expectations for timeline, if requested. You can explain that the first session may begin with an assessment phase, that they can describe their experiences but that the therapist will ask questions too, and that it may take time to feel comfortable opening up. Ask how they’re feeling about the process and answer any questions calmly and supportively.
