Clinician 

Sherika Caliste, LMSW

Everyone has experienced something that has impacted their mental health, yet we are often taught to suffer in silence rather than reach out for support. Shame, guilt, stigma, and the systems around us can make it difficult to acknowledge when we are struggling or to know where to turn for help.

 

Sherika Caliste is a compassionate, patient, and trauma-informed therapist and clinical social worker who creates a supportive, judgment-free space where clients can feel seen, heard, and understood.

Sherika takes a collaborative, individualized approach to therapy, helping clients navigate trauma, life transitions, relationships, and personal and professional growth.

Sherika recognizes the ways individual experiences intersect with larger systems, including systems of oppression, and works to honor the whole person within that context. She is trained in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Child-Parent Psychotherapy, Functional Family Therapy, and Internal Family Systems Therapy. She also incorporates somatic and mindfulness-based practices to help clients understand how trauma can affect both the mind and body.

Above all, she strives to create a soft, supportive space where clients can slow down, unpack their experiences, process what they have been carrying, and begin moving toward greater wellness and a more authentic sense of self.

Clinician 

Aizhaneiya McKenzie, LMSW

Aizhaneiya has a deep respect for the individuals she works with knowing it takes courage to seek support. She integrates evidence-based practices with genuine curiosity and compassion to create a therapeutic space that is both supportive and collaborative. Aizhaneiya believes therapy is most effective when it feels like a meaningful partnership rather than a clinical interrogation, and clients often describe her style as grounded, insightful, and authentically human.

With specialized training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), she helps clients untangle complex thought patterns, navigate emotional challenges, and develop practical tools that support everyday resilience. Her approach is not centered on “fixing” clients, but on helping them recognize and build upon the strengths they already possess.

Whether someone is feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or ready to step into a new chapter, Aizhaneiya strives to provide a warm, nonjudgmental space where clients can show up exactly as they are and feel supported in their growth and healing.
