Her practice utilizes a variety of therapy modalities and methods for solving problems and clinical assessments through evidence-based treatment interventions. Kheri is a firm believer in creating a safe space for her clients in order to build a successful therapeutic relationship. Kheri is passionate about increasing understanding and decreasing stigma related to mental health. She considers herself an advocate for those who feel they do not have a voice. A personal theory Kheri takes into consideration as a therapist is “we are not responsible for our traumas, but we are accountable for our healing.” By creating a safe environment to work on one’s life challenges, it requires engagement, positive rapport, and being a great listener even in a silent therapy session. Kheri brings all this and more to each and every client with whom she works. Kheri is a Licensed Master Social Worker in the state of New York.
