Sheri Hertzig, LCSW
Hello and thank you for considering what I bring to therapy. I understand that making a change—whether it's accepting yourself as you are, shifting behaviors that get in your way, or perhaps both—can feel overwhelming. While change can be hard, the process of change is easier with someone by your side to offer encouragement and validation, while also helping you find practical solutions that smooth out life’s bumps. A bit of humor and irreverence can often make the journey more manageable too.
With 20 years of experience, I’ve had the privilege of working alongside individuals to help them build the life they want. I view the therapy relationship as a partnership between equals, where your voice and experiences guide the path. My goal is to provide a nonjudgmental space where we can collaborate and create solutions that resonate with you.
I’ve had intensive training in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), which serves as the foundation of my practice. This evidence-based approach has been shown to be effective for individuals who have difficulty managing emotions like sadness, fear, and shame.
In addition, I’ve completed specialized training in Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) through the International Obsessive Compulsive Disorder Foundation’s (IOCDF) Behavior Therapy Training Institute. This training has allowed me to help clients with OCD and related challenges break free from repetitive thoughts and behaviors.
I’ve been trained in both Prolonged Exposure (PE) for PTSD and DBT-PE, which combines the strengths of two proven therapies to support those recovering from trauma.
If you’re ready to work toward the life you want for yourself, I invite you to reach out for a phone consultation to discuss how I can help you build that life.
