Evaluations & Treatment for Children, Adolescents, and Adults.

Initial psychiatric assessments are 45 minutes long, and medication follow-up sessions are 15-30 minutes, depending on the provider and the issue at hand. Initial therapy assessments and follow-ups are 50 minutes.
To make an initial appointment with the psychiatrist, one of our psychiatric nurse practitioners, or any of our therapists, please call (614) 407-6513
Cognitive Remediation Therapy (CRT)
Our clinicians incorporate Cognitive Remediation Therapy, also referred to as Cognitive Enhancement Therapy, into our therapeutic practice for children and adults to treat specific neurocognitive areas like attention, working memory, auditory learning, etc.The goal is to design individualized CRT programs that reduce cognitive deficits and strengthen an individual's capacity to accept, process and manipulate information while improving their overall quality of everyday life.

Parent Meetings & Consultations
Being a parent is an amazing responsibility and children depend on many things including guidance, knowledge and love.
Have you had tough moments with your children and need help and advice?
Have you had doubts about your parenting methods?
Do you often feel frustrated or emotional when your child misbehaves?
Our clinicians can meet parents alone, or with the kids involved, and help build stronger relationships. Both parents and their children, as a team, discover new techniques and strategies to cultivate positive behavior.
Family Therapy
Our clinicians welcome the opportunity to meet with families seeking therapy in a group setting to explore psychological, emotional and relational issues.Working on Coping Skills
Our clinicians specialize in teaching coping skills to children, adolescents and adults.
As we learn and develop new coping skills in therapy, we become more motivated and engaged as people. These valuable skills help us express our thoughts and feelings productively, learn problem solving, improve self-esteem and discover new ways to cope with stress.
This program is also offered for groups because often connecting with others handling similar issues greatly helps us learn the best methods for coping.
Art & Mindfulness Group Therapy
Our clinicians believe therapy combined with mindfulness is an effective counterbalance for anxiety, depression and stress.
Enjoy a variety of creative exercises for problem solving, examining thoughts & emotions, and self-discovery. The goal is becoming mentally stronger and emotionally balanced through being mindful and noticing one's own feelings without acting and distracting others.
Medication Management
Depending on the issues at hand, treatment may either include individual or family therapy, solely treatment through medication, or psychotherapy together with medication. Dr. Sherk has experience working with a full range of psychiatric medications, including those for depression, anxiety, mood disorders, and ADHD.For more information about any of our services described above, please Contact Us at (614) 407-6513.
