Kerri Avery Ifill

My compassionate approach to therapy allows clients to find comfort in an honest therapeutic relationship, in order to achieve their personal goals for healing. I work to create a non-judgmental and supportive environment that promotes an individual’s personal strengths and innate ability to resolve his or her own life struggles. My intention is to gain an understanding of clients’ patterns of behaviors, and use my training and intuition to guide treatment and establish therapeutic goals. I specialize in providing services to clients who struggle with depression, anxiety and relationship issues. My interest in nutrition influences my understanding of mental health, as I recognize the importance of physical health and its effects on one’s thoughts and emotions. I have studied the gut-brain connection extensively and believe that achieving balance in one’s microbiome can lead to tremendous improvements in overall emotional and mental wellness.I am formally trained in Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and use my knowledge of DBT to provide practical life skills to my clients in the areas of mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotional regulation and interpersonal effectiveness. I invite you to call me directly to see how I may be able to help you to reach your own personal goals.
