Sally Sierra
Hello. I am Sally Sierra, LCSW, from Florida. I have a master’s degree from St. Leo University and a BSW from USF. I lived many years in Puerto Rico where I learned to speak Spanish and understand the culture. I have been a therapist for 7 years working with adults, children and families, adolescents, and the aging. My experience includes depression, anxiety, trauma, PTSD, behavioral issues, attachment disorder, ADHD/ADD, adjustment disorder, relationships and family conflicts. My approach to therapy is client centered which helps to create a strong client-therapist relationship. My intention is to build a strong therapeutic relationship, and promote a safe atmosphere in which my clients experience acceptance and openness, without judgement. In this way, we can better work together to develop psychological tools for complicated feelings and situations. I use integrated therapy blending elements from different approaches to meet different needs. These include Cognitive Behavior therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior therapy (DBT), Solution Focused therapy, talk therapy, psychoeducation, art and art based activities, Bibliotherapy, and others.
