Sherese Jefferson

Sherese is a Licensed Professional Counselor and Certified School Counselor whose background spans school counseling, mentoring, and work as a former youth pastor — a combination that gives her a rare ability to connect with young people and families navigating both emotional and spiritual challenges. She works with children as young as five through adults, with particular depth in adolescent and young adult care.

Her clinical toolkit includes EMDR for trauma, Solution-Focused Brief Treatment, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, psychoeducation, play therapy, and Social & Emotional Learning — with particular attention to the five core SEL components: self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, responsible decision-making, and relationship skills. She creates a welcoming environment characterized by her laid-back attitude and calm demeanor, making it easy for clients to show up as they are.

For clients who want it, Sherese integrates Christian faith and biblical Scripture into the counseling process — always alongside, never instead of, evidence-based care. Her approach is collaborative, goal-oriented, and designed to produce lasting results rather than indefinite treatment. She believes clients deserve a clear path toward something better — and she helps them find it.
