How do you work with clients with depression?

Hello! My name is Kayla Sherrouse. I hold a Master’s degree in Nursing as a Family Nurse Practitioner from Albany State University and a Bachelor’s degree in Nursing from Chipola College. With skills in patient assessment, diagnosis, and education, I've dedicated myself to taking care of families in Bonifay. I'm committed to providing compassionate and comprehensive care, ensuring that all my patients feel heard and well-cared for. My expertise also includes using modern electronic medical record systems, allowing me to deliver efficient and accurate care. Communication and empathy are at the heart of what I do, and I strive to build strong relationships with my patients. I look forward to partnering with you on your health journey, offering guidance, support, and the personalized care you deserve. TREATMENT PHILOSOPHY: I take the time to listen to the patient as a whole and work one on one with the patient to have a holistic view of the patient and together formulate a treatment plan. I offer treatment for many different psychiatric illnesses such as anxiety disorders, depressive disorders, mood disorders, sleep disorders, ADHD, PTSD, OCD. I also offer treatment for alcohol and substance abuse. I am here to listen and help with your mental health needs with an empathetic non-judgmental approach.

I’ve been in private practice for nearly 20 years….but there is more than an education or experience.  My work has been filled with the lives of people I have been able to witness heal traumas, or find a new journey, or come to themselves more fully.  Counseling may bring relief, recovery, tools to use or release from pain. Healing is a pathway and I get to walk beside you. I will hold the hope until you can hold it, and I will be honored to go on your journey with you. 

My counseling experience includes treating adolescents, adults, and couples. My practice is highly individualized to address common symptoms associated with anxiety, depression, and relationship issues. I treat my clients as unique individuals with their own distinctive concerns impacting their lives. I greatly honor the trust I am given by them to help them navigate difficult times and unexpected life changes. I believe the decision to start the journey towards healing and reconciliation demonstrates a great deal of courage and resolve. Together we can discern a path towards a more balanced and joyful life. Emotional/spiritual growth and symptom reduction are the primary focus of practice. I accomplish this by helping clients understand how their internal life is interacting with outside stressors causing discomfort and impeding growth. I also endeavor to help clients recognize destructive patterns in personal relationships that may be keeping them from further healing. In addition to private practice experience, I also have pastoral/spiritual counseling experience.

Have you lost yourself somewhere in the daily grind? Perhaps you’ve given so much of yourself to your children, your spouse, or your job that by the end of the day you find yourself frazzled, irritable, and exhausted. You might even wonder how you’ll muster the energy to do it all over again tomorrow. Have those same life distractions negatively impacted your relationship? Are you feeling alone and disconnected from your partner; more like roommates than lovers and friends? Or maybe you’re dealing with a difficult transition, and you’re not sure if/how you can feel better and move forward. As a wife & mother of three small children, I understand the unique pressures that modern relationships & parenting bring. I am adept at helping both individuals & couples navigate their journeys through major life difficulties/transitions. I believe in a mind/body approach to wellness and am passionate about helping individuals and couples in our community. As the old proverb goes, “you can’t pour from an empty cup.” If this is resonating with you, it’s time to take that first brave step into self-care. You owe it to yourself, your spouse, and your family. With the right tools, you will have the power to radically change your outlook and your life, for the better. I can’t wait to help you reinvest in yourself.

Hi. Thanks for taking the time to consider working with me as your therapist. I realize the importance of choosing the right person for this trusted role. I hope that the following videos will give you a sense of me and how I might help you. Some things that distinguish me and my work include the level of training I have received, my years of experience, the variety of strategies that I am competent to use, but also my own personal qualities of warmth, compassion, genuineness, and care. I am proud to have dedicated years to developing proficiency as a Psychologist. I am both a California Licensed Psychologist as well as a Singapore Registered Psychologist. In addition to earning a Ph.D. from the APA Accredited Counseling Psychology Training Program at the University of Texas at Austin, I also hold a Masters Degree in Developmental Psychology from Teachers College, Columbia University. As part of my Ph.D. program I successfully completed the APA Approved Predoctoral Psychology Internship at the Jerry L. Pettis Memorial VA Medical Center in Loma Linda. I then went on to hold a variety of positions in both governmental and private sector settings before eventually building my own private practice. These years of experience have allowed me to develop a range of skills and competencies which I am able to draw upon. I am now providing therapy exclusively online for adults, adolescents, couples and families. I do this through a secure online platform which is easy for clients to use. Because I am a California Licensed Psychologist these services are eligible for reimbursement through PPO insurance on an Out-of-Network basis. All necessary documentation for insurance submission are provided to clients though a secure online portal. I offer free online consultations which would give us a chance to explore what what changes you would like to make and how I might be of assistance. I also hope that the following video clips will provide a better sense of me and my approach. Please feel free to contact me with any questions you may have and/or to schedule a free online consultation. I will hope to hear from you.

Hello! My name is Tara and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. I received my Masters in Marriage and Family Therapy from The University of Southern California (USC) and my Bachelors in Psychology and Social Behavior from the University of California, Irvine (UCI). I have worked in a college setting, private practice, residential treatment center for teens, and more unconventionally, in matchmaking and dating apps. Working in settings so vastly different from one another has allowed me to work with many people with various diagnoses and backgrounds. While I have experience working with more severe and acute mental health concerns, due to the virtual nature of my practice at this time, my practice is currently mostly seeing people struggling with romantic, familial, or other relationship concerns, anxiety, pandemic support, interpersonal conflict, self esteem, creatives and professionals, students, and more.      For more information, please contact me for a free consultation.
