My communication style is empathetic and supportive. I encourage clients to express their authentic voice during sessions and I value open feedback to ensure their needs and goals are being effectively addressed.

If you are going through a difficult time, finding a therapist should be the least stressful part of your journey. I am a licensed clinical professional counselor, and I have been working in the field of counseling for over twenty years now. I have worked with many issues, including depression, anxiety, life transitions and trauma. I will always work to provide an empathetic non-judgmental and safe space. If you are stuck or sick of struggling please reach out. Please call or email the office. I would love to hear from you to see how we can begin working together.

I am passionate about helping people better understand themselves, build healthier relationships, and find lasting relief from emotional pain. With advanced training in psychodynamic, attachment-based, and mindfulness approaches, I provide therapy that is both insightful and deeply supportive. I strongly believe that every person’s struggles are unique, and I strive to tailor my work to meet each of my clients where they are, offering a safe and compassionate space for growth. My style and approach to treatment is warm, authentic, and collaborative, helping my clients feel truly heard, while also gently encouraging them to explore deeper patterns that may be holding them back. For individuals, I work with a wide range of concerns, including attention-deficit hyperactivity (ADHD), anxiety, depression, trauma, stress, self-esteem challenges, and life transitions. I also have extensive expertise in psychological testing and evaluation for attention-deficit hyperactivity (ADHD), autistic people, and mood or personality conditions, which can provide clarity and direction for clients and families seeking answers.

Hello, My name is Shereema Molette and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Pennsylvania and New Jersey. I have been a therapist for 15 years working in numerous settings in the human service field. I have worked with children and adults addressing various issues and concerns. I currently work at non-profit supervising therapists that work in the Philadelphia School District. My passion has always been to help others and I feel fulfilled working in the field of psychology. My expertise spans many different areas but my true passion is working with children and adults as they navigate bipolar and other classified Mood and Personality Disorders. Also, I enjoy working with the LGBTIA+ community. I am certified as a Grief Speciality and trained in Faith-Based Recovery. I consider my style of therapy eclectic and I shape sessions according to the client. As a therapist, it is very important to have multiple facets that can be pulled out of your therapy bag that can be adjusted to fit the needs of the client.

I support individuals who feel anxious, stuck in self-doubt, or caught in patterns that no longer serve them. I especially enjoy working with young adults, people new to therapy, and individuals in recovery. My style is warm, collaborative, and rooted in helping you explore your emotions, clarify your needs, and build self-trust. Beginning therapy can feel vulnerable, especially if you're used to handling everything on your own. You don’t need to have it all figured out. Just a willingness to start. Whether you're navigating relationships, overthinking everything, or feeling pulled in too many directions, I’ll meet you where you are. Together, we’ll explore what’s been holding you back and begin practicing new ways of relating to yourself and others—with boundaries, confidence, and clarity.

It's time now to genuinely feel and function better. In order to do that, it's essential to pay close attention to your internal responses to the difficulties and patterns that have been cropping up in your closest relationships, your work, and with respect to your own self-concept, and to do so with someone who can help you see things differently and perhaps more accurately. Together, we will create an open, accepting, safe space, where you also will feel helpfully and persistently challenged to know yourself much better from the inside out, and as quickly as possible.

I work with individuals who have experienced trauma to be able to live their life to the fullest.

People don't have to be in crisis to come to therapy; oftentimes, those who contact me are managing feelings that have been building up over time. I have niche experience working with medical professionals such as physicians, nurses and medical trainees and directed a new program at UNMC aimed at understanding burnout. I enjoy working with college and graduate students, international students, and did this at counseling centers like MIT. I especially like working with adults in general, and new parents. I completed my APA internship and postdoc in the Penn System where I saw a variety of people living with a range of feelings. I believe that addressing feelings and understanding where they stem from, and how to manage them, can help people navigate life's challenges in relationships, work, school, and beyond. I strive to create a safe, non-judgmental, emotionally rich and confidential environment for individuals to explore what's on their mind. Collaborating on other areas of your life that you may want to examine, such as your relationships with others (romantic, friendship, personal, professional) is something I find joy in. I look forward to meeting you and potentially working together to uncover not just what might be holding you back or keeping you up at night, but your strengths as well.

Do you ever feel overwhelmed by the complexities of life and wonder where to turn for guidance? I offer a warm, supportive, and non-judgmental space where you can safely explore your thoughts, emotions, and experiences. My approach is rooted in the belief that every individual is unique, and healing is a collaborative journey tailored to your specific needs. I work with clients of all ages, helping them navigate challenges and build the life they envision. In our sessions, we uncover the patterns in your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. You’ll learn how your past influences the present and how to embrace change. Whether you are dealing with mental health issues, cultural differences, challenges with motherhood, or conflicts within your family, I provide practical tools and empathetic support to strengthen connections and foster mutual understanding. Overall, my holistic and integrative approach transforms challenges into opportunities for personal growth. With each session, we cultivate a comprehensive understanding of your personal narrative, enabling you to unlock your potential and live a more authentic life. I am committed to provide guidance as you transform challenges into growth and fulfillment. We will work together to gain insight, overcome obstacles, and move forward with confidence and empowerment.

Our own minds can multiply, confuse, and perpetuate the inevitable pain in life, or heal us to greater joy, love, and creativity. I will work with you to master your imaginative creation and to steer toward the life you choose with effective strategies. Building on your strengths and the best parts of your life, we will work together to resolve your problems and fulfill your highest dreams. Tools: I have an exciting new tool in my tool box: Accelerated Resolution Therapy. It is so new that it is not among the modalities on this website but it's been around long enough for research to validate it as "evidence based." Most soldiers with PTSD have gotten good results and have completed therapy by the 3rd session. I am so thrilled with the helpfulness of A.R.T. that I have worked to become a trainer in this method. Find out more about it online. Please see my own website (above) for a link. MindBody Health: I am fascinated by how our minds relate to our bodies and vice versa. Two areas of research demonstrate how strong the connection is. 1. Adverse Childhood Events are correlated with major health problems later in life. And 2, excessive negative stress is often followed by illness. The first can be transformed using Accelerated Resolution therapy. You have resources now that can be brought to the child who experienced trauma. The second, stress, can be relieved, in many ways to protect and care for your body. Together, perhaps we will create self-hypnotic recordings to align the power of your mind with the health of your body. Some health problems, such as allergies to pets and airborne substances, seem to respond especially well to this approach. We are only beginning to know the extent to which our minds can affect our physical health. For me, there is enough evidence to direct the powers of my mind toward healing from any illness - in addition to taking advantage of the wisdom of my doctors.
