Our therapy services are crafted with the understanding that each individual’s path to tranquility is unique.

Are you experiencing frequent or intense anxiety?
While occasional anxiety is a normal part of our everyday lives, some people frequently experience anxiety as intense or persistent worry and fear about everyday situations. Others may experience anxiety as repeated episodes of sudden intense fear or terror that peak within minutes. And there are others who experience anxiety as fear and avoidance of social interactions because they may feel embarrassed, self-conscious and/or concerned about being judged negatively by others. These feelings are difficult to control, are out of proportion with the actual situation and can last a long time.
If you live with anxiety you may also experience a multitude of other symptoms such as: feeling nervous, restless or tense, have trouble concentrating, have trouble sleeping, experience gastrointestinal (GI) problems, avoid things that trigger their anxiety, have a sense of impending danger or doom, have a tightness in the chest, feel a persistent sense of tiredness. Some examples of anxiety disorders are generalized anxiety disorder, panic disorder, social anxiety disorder (social phobia), specific phobias and separation anxiety disorder. Symptoms may start during childhood or develop adulthood. And it is possible to develop more than one anxiety disorder.
Are you struggling with social anxiety?
Attending new social activities or speaking in front of a group of people can cause you to feel nervous. Sometimes that nervousness can turn into social anxiety that prevents you from getting out, meeting new people and
making a good impression.
You might experience thoughts like:
“Everyone here is more interesting than me.”
“I’m so nervous and everyone can see it.”
“I have nothing interesting to say.”
“What if I say something stupid?”
You might be one who stays close to home, bowing out of social plans or avoids small talk even with people you know or fears giving a presentation at work. You don’t have to live your life hiding from or avoiding social activities. Our counselors can help you identify the thoughts that fuel your feelings of anxiety in social situations. We can help you see the patterns in your thinking and replace these thoughts with more positive ones in order to help you to feel better about engaging with others in social settings.
We can help you to get back out there so that you can live your life unafraid of connecting with other people. Social anxiety can be difficult to live with, but we can help you feel better, calmer and more confident in social settings.
Anxiety doesn’t have to keep you from being happy and fulfilled.
It can feel like your anxiety controls your life rather than you are controlling it. Know that you don’t have to deal with your anxiety alone. Psychotherapy can help. Using cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) techniques our counselors will teach you specific skills to help you better manage and improve your symptoms so that you can return to the activities you’ve avoided due to your anxiety. Life can feel free and enjoyable again.
At Restore Tranquility, we believe in the power of compassionate listening, empathy, and evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help you uncover your inner strengths, overcome obstacles, and cultivate a greater sense of balance and fulfillment in your life. Our tailored approach to therapy ensures that you receive personalized care that honors your individual needs, goals, and values.

Embarking on a healing journey
Is a Brave Decision. ♡
I had been dealing with major depression for over a decade, and though therapy and medication provided some help, it was always temporary. Shervon’s holistic approach, combined with the emotional clarity provided by cannabis, allowed me to understand the root causes of my depression and maladaptive behaviors. With this clarity, I now have direction on how to improve my life and mental health. I highly recommend working with Shervon.
After working with her for some time, I began exploring the possibility of being autistic. She supported that journey, helping me to challenge unhealthy perceptions of myself, and integrate new life skills that have improved the quality of my life beyond my wildest dreams.
I was convinced by my past experiences that sharing all of who I am with a therapist would only be met with misunderstanding and judgement. Then, I found Shervon.
Shervon provides excellent tools and resources for addressing life’s challenges. Shervon listens with an open mind. I feel comfortable being myself and speaking my truth, even when the truth hurts. Her insight and advice lay the groundwork for self-healing and correction.
It was apparent that my marriage was failing. I was extremely unhappy, crying in the shower, crying in the car by myself, and was worried that I was not making good life decisions. I had tried therapy before, but it didn’t work. I was referred to Shervon, and slowly began to recognize that I could make changes, that I didn’t have to be this unhappy. Communicating with someone who was without judgement, but who could help me sort out where I was and what options I had was more than helpful; it helped me move forward.
I have been in and out of therapy for 21 years with lackluster results. In my extensive experience with many and varied therapists, Shervon has provided the highest quality of care, and has been the healthiest therapist relationship I’ve ever had. I am truly grateful for her and the services she is uniquely equipped to provide for people like me.
Shervon has been a pillar in my support system for a decade, helping me articulate the things I need and validating my right to need them. I’ve come to realize that this is one of the greatest gifts one can be given.
I am deeply grateful for Shervon’s presence in my life. Her professional skill and personal gifts of empathy and humor have supported me in times of difficulty, and have created a safe space as I make the journey of growing into myself.
