Testimonials

"I love my sessions with Sherise and she is helping me navigate the transitions in my life in a healthy way."

"I was able to be paired with a therapist of color, which is extremely hard to find I feel. She is able to relate to me, my identity, and in return, I am very comfortable and open to sharing my experiences with her. She is amazing and has greatly contributed to my mental health development! Mrs. Sherise Swensen is the best!"
