My name is Sherrelle Thompson, and I am a Licensed Clinical Therapist and founder of Healing Hearts Behavioral Health. I earned my Master’s degree in Mental Health Counseling with a Christian Emphasis from Grand Canyon University. My professional journey began as a Correctional Officer and continued over the past decade as a Case Manager with the Division of Developmental Disabilities, where I witnessed firsthand the critical need for accessible and compassionate mental health services. These experiences inspired me to establish a practice that integrates clinical excellence with faith-based support for those who desire it, particularly individuals within the Christian community who may feel hesitant to seek help due to stigma. I am passionate about serving individuals with disabilities, preteens, teens, couples, and families, and I have supported clients facing substance abuse, low self-esteem, suicidal behaviors, anxiety, depression, and relationship challenges. Through empathy, encouragement, and evidence-based care, I strive to create a supportive environment where every client—regardless of background—can experience healing, strengthen self-love, and confidently achieve their personal goals.

Treatment Approach
- Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT) Helps people accept difficult thoughts and feelings instead of fighting them, while committing to actions that reflect their values. It blends mindfulness with practical behavior strategies.
- Christian Counseling Blends psychological practices with Christian values and scripture. It provides faith-based support for life challenges and spiritual growth.
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) One of the most widely used approaches, CBT helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and replace them with healthier patterns. It is effective for anxiety, depression, and many other concerns.
- Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) Combines CBT with mindfulness to help regulate emotions, tolerate stress, and build stronger relationships. Originally designed for borderline personality disorder, it’s now used more broadly.
- Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) Focuses on strengthening emotional bonds in couples or families. It helps people identify negative cycles and create more secure connections.
- Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) A structured therapy that uses guided eye movements to help process traumatic memories. It is widely recognized for treating PTSD and trauma-related conditions.
- Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) Combines mindfulness practices with CBT to prevent depression relapse. It helps people notice thoughts without judgment and respond more calmly.
- Somatic Therapy Helps clients notice how emotions are stored in the body. It uses breath, movement, and awareness for healing trauma and stress.
