Shereece Fraites, LCSW

My approach to therapy is warm, collaborative, and centered on helping you feel safe enough to be real. You do not need to have the right words or a clear plan when you start. We will figure things out together, at a pace that feels supportive rather than overwhelming.

I focus on helping you understand what is happening beneath the surface. That might mean gently unpacking past experiences that still show up today, learning how to regulate big emotions, or noticing patterns that keep you feeling stuck. I offer both space to talk things through and practical tools you can use in your everyday life.

In our work, I draw from trauma focused care, acceptance and commitment therapy, emotion focused work, mindfulness, cognitive and behavioral strategies, and play based approaches when working with children and teens. I choose what we use based on what feels most helpful for you, not a one size fits all plan.

Therapy with me is not about fixing you. It is about helping you reconnect with your strength, trust yourself again, and feel more grounded as you move through life.
