Hi, I’m Sahsha.
(she/her/hers)
Leading with empathy and following up with logic to help facilitate change.
I am a dually Licensed Mental Health Counselor and Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist serving adults of all ethnicities, genders, sexual orientations, relationship structures, and abilities. My practice as a therapist includes techniques from various modalities including intersectional feminist theory, cognitive behavioral therapy, systemic therapy, person-centered therapy, brainspotting, and rational emotive behavioral therapy, in conjunction with a social justice lens. I am a Black and Afro-Latina queer cis woman, intersectional feminist, social justice advocate, and a proponent for sex-positivity.
When we meet, you are likely to find a transparent, empathetic, humble, charming, and relatable individual. My uniquely intersecting identities allow me to connect with and help my clients navigate a plethora of identities and life struggles; by creating a safe space, I help clients explore what is distressing them without the need to explain the intricacies of the identities that they inhabit. My office is a judgment-free zone and I invite my clients to unpack whatever they need to in session. I believe that all of my clients are experts on themselves. When we collaborate in therapy, together we will find the best possible strategies that empower clients to improved mental health.
I earned my Masters of Arts in Rehabilitation and Mental Health Counseling as well as a Graduate Certificate in Marriage and Family Therapy from the CACREP accredited top-ranked program at the University of South Florida. And I hope to pursue a PhD in clinical sexology in the near future.
