About Me
Hi, my name is Antoinette Sherman. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor. It is my pleasure to share my professional experience with you in hopes that you will learn a little about me. I've worked in the mental health field since 2007 and served populations from 4-89 years of age. I have had the pleasure of connecting with individuals in a variety of settings to include Group Home, Juvenile Court Service Unit, Mental Health Skill-Building, Intensive In-Home, Therapeutic Day Treatment, Residential Diversion, Crisis Stabilization, and treatment services provided by local government Community Service Boards.
As a Licensed Mental Health Professional, I have provided individual and family psychotherapy treatment, supervised court-ordered parental visitations, attended Family Assessment Planning Team (FAPT) meetings and completed biopsychosocial assessments for Medicaid and non-Medicaid funded programs to include Crisis Stabilization, Therapeutic Day Treatment, Intensive In-Home, Mental Health Skill-Building, Therapeutic Mentoring, Residential Diversion, Life Skills, Psychiatric Case Management, and Home-Based Services. I have facilitated pro-social skill groups, participated in Individualized Education Program (IEP) meetings, and assisted individuals with meeting the basic needs in life.
I am certified by the Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Services (DBHDS) to provide outpatient restoration services. I am also certified by DBHDS as a prescreener to assess and complete preadmission screening reports for Temporary Detention Orders to psychiatric state and public/private hospital facilities. I have been trained in Emotional Freedom Tapping, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Person-Centered Therapy, Crisis Intervention, Suicide Prevention, Behavioral Therapy, and other proven clinical modalities and interventions.
Throughout my career, I have diagnosed and provided therapeutic interventions for a variety of mental health diagnoses such as Depressive Disorders, Bipolar and Related Disorders, Schizophrenia Spectrum Disorders, Autism Spectrum Disorder (and other Neurodevelopmental Disorders), Trauma and Stressor Related Disorders, Anxiety Disorders, Disruptive, Impulse-Control, and Conduct Disorders, Personality Disorders, and others. I have provided gender identification support, support for relationship difficulties, self-esteem, grief, life transitions, spirituality, and other issues.
During my free time, I enjoy spending time with family, friends, and my dog Merakle. The simple things in life such as nature, eating good food, and laughing with my loved ones who adds joy to my life is what I look forward too. Daily, I strive to remind myself of my purpose on Earth which is to provide support, be a helping hand, and to educate without judgment.
Thank you for taking time to read About Me!
