Hi there, I'm Kerri! I have been working in the mental health field for over 30 years. I specialize in working with those with intellectual disabilities. I am compassionate, understanding, and able to meet them where they are. I like to work with the elderly with mental health challenges and those who need someone compassionate, interested in them, and able to make valuable suggestions. I work to provide coping skills, stress relief, trauma work, and medication referrals if needed. I use the Recovery Model, solution-focused, trauma-focused, and person-centered modalities.
In session, I provide patience, compassion, kindness, and understanding. My demeanor is calm and controlled, with some levity as needed. I actively listen to clients and mirror back to them what I thought I heard, for clarification, as needed. People have said they enjoy my style as I incorporate their needs and help them see different perspectives.
In our first session, we'll cover confidentiality, do an initial assessment, and get to know each other's personality styles. If you think we might be a good fit, I encourage you to reach out today.
