Sheridan Adams, M.F.T.
Marriage and Family Therapist, MFC 25286
I have been licensed as a Marriage and Family Therapist since 1990, with a private practice in Berkeley, CA. As a long-term practitioner of Buddhist meditation, I can also offer this approach to interested clients. Meditation and Mindfulness training can be especially helpful in learning how to relate with more equanimity to chronic difficulties and to problems that can't really be "solved". (Please see my article, Mindfulness and Psychotherapy.) I'm interested in cross-cultural and race issues, and have been involved in unlearning racism work for a number of years.
In my psychotherapy practice I use a variety of approaches depending on
the needs of the client. One of these approaches is Coherence Therapy. Coherence Therapy is an effective, non-pathologizing and compassionate
therapeutic method, which helps clients discover and transform what keeps
them locked into painful patterns. The therapy is dynamic and experiential,
assisting clients to uncover and free themselves from the, often unconscious,
ways of perceiving themselves and reality which have significantly limited
them.
Recently, I've been exploring sensorimotor therapy, a body-oriented approach to psychotherapy that is particularly helpful when trauma is involved.
Areas I have a good deal of experience with include anxiety disorders, adults abused as children, grief issues, depression, relationship difficulties, EAP counseling and the psychological impact of health issues.
I feel grateful to be in a profession which allows me to be of help to others. Please feel free to give me a call.
