My goal is to provide a safe, supportive space where you feel heard, empowered, and equipped to grow.

Are your family members, friends or co-workers complaining about your irritability or anger? Are you tired of your days and nights being filled with stress, excessive worry, nervousness or obsessive thoughts? Are you exhausted and losing sleep at night? Living with unresolved trauma, anxiety, or obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) can be overwhelming, affecting every aspect of your life and the lives of those you love. You deserve peace of mind! I am Sherjuana Davis, PhD, LCSW, LISW-CP and I work with clients who are experiencing symptoms of trauma, OCD, and anxiety. By the time you've reached me, you may be mentally, emotionally, spiritually and physically exhausted. My approach is inclusive, nonjudgmental and person-centered. Contact me today!

The Sanctuary Care & Counseling Center is a counseling practice that aims to facilitate wellness through the integration of spirituality and mental health. This is done through ensuring that clients feel safe, supported, and are persistently reminded to extend themselves grace and self-compassion. In the Sanctuary clients are provided a safe space to discuss the complexities of "adulting", process their trauma, navigate grief, adjust to change and transitions, be vulnerable about their fears and insecurities, and express uncertainty and ambivalence about their faith stories. Contrary to popular belief, you don’t have to have it -" all together". We invite you to The Sanctuary, where we will partner with you as you strive to figure it out.

It's not always easy to ask for help. You were probably really looking forward to college being the best time of your life, and in many ways it probably is. But in some ways, you're struggling and that can be really tough. It's takes tremendous strength to recognize that and ask for help. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and I am here to listen and help you work through whatever is making life hard right now. I specialize in treating anxiety and depression, and can also help to navigate many of the other challenges of college life, such as social or family relationships, identity, stress, body image, self-confidence, feeling overwhelmed with school or with other aspects of life, college adjustment, future planning, and other related issues. Students appreciate my authentic and relatable approach that I combine with my positive and supportive energy to help empower you to make the changes you need to move forward. Feel free to read over my website and reach out for a consult. I'm here and I can help. SCHEDULE: I have a flexible schedule and will work with you to find session times that accommodate your busy life. LOCATION: I am licensed for telehealth in Florida and Georgia so if you are in college in either state, I can help. I currently offer all my sessions online so no need to drive anywhere, just log in with a link using your phone, tablet or laptop. So you can do your therapy wherever you are comfortable, avoid traffic, and resume life as soon as you log off. If home is in GA or FL, we can continue our therapy during visits home, or if you live in another state, we may be able to continue there too, I'd just need to check local regulations. FINANCIAL: Although I am out of network with insurance, I do offer a sliding scale fee as needed to help make therapy accessible for those at all income levels.

I believe that everyone deserves to be seen as a whole, complex person—not just defined by their past. In therapy, it’s important to me that clients feel fully understood and respected for who they are in all their layers. I'm really passionate about exploring the different parts of my clients' identities and how the world around them shapes their experiences. I take an approach that blends attachment, mindfulness, and cultural awareness. I truly believe that our childhood and adolescent experiences can give us important clues about our present behaviors and patterns. I also think that trauma can be passed down from generation to generation, both physically and mentally, and it’s something that often shows up in our lives in unexpected ways. ​ I have a deep compassion for victims and survivors of emotional, physical, financial, sexual, and verbal abuse. I’m a strong advocate for raising awareness about intimate partner violence and unhealthy relationships. I work with clients to heal from their trauma, set healthy boundaries, and speak up for themselves. I want all my clients to feel empowered during their entire therapy journey, and I put a lot of importance on honoring their autonomy. I believe that healing isn’t one-size-fits-all, and it’s my job to create a space where each person can find their own path to healing. ​ I also love bringing in multicultural and diverse healing approaches. I offer a space where clients can bring their spiritual or religious beliefs into therapy if they choose. Creativity plays a big role in healing for me—whether it’s through visual arts, performing arts, writing, storytelling, music, or just being in nature. I think meditation can come in all sorts of forms, and I encourage clients to find what works for them. ​ I’m certified in Applied Suicide Intervention Skills Training (ASIST), and I have experience in suicide prevention and intervention. I have specific, advanced training in Exposure & Response Prevention (ERP), which is the gold standard for treating OCD. Outside of work, you can find me junk journaling or scrapbooking, doing yoga, styling clothes, or dancing around. I received both my bachelor’s degree in Psychology and masters degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Agnes Scott College.

I have a wide range of experience working with individuals. I primarily focus on helping clients understand how experiences in their life have influenced their beliefs, behaviors, emotions and relationships. I think this helps clients understand what action they need to take to feel connected to themselves and others. If I can be helpful in deepening your relationships with others and self please give me a call. I have been a therapist for 15 years. I have worked in the field of addiction for 6 years. I work with individuals processing, grief and loss, depression, anxiety, trauma, and navigating life transitions. Therapy is helpful and daunting. I remember when I first went to therapy I felt uncomfortable, embarrassed, and scared. I also wanted something to be different in my life. Things did change and I felt better. I believe you can have the same experience and I can offer you a compassionate, experienced, presence that will help you find the change you want.

Do you feel misunderstood and stuck in your head? Do you feel a desire for change but are lacking direction? Maybe you feel stuck in a relationship, a job, or a state of mind that has left you feeling unsatisfied, anxious, or depressed. As a clinician, I believe that my role is to create a completely non-judgmental space for you to process and grow. The more we can be vulnerable in expressing our true (and sometimes messy) selves, the closer we get to living fully, authentically, and with a sense of ease. I approach every session with an open mind, and a deep sense of compassion for your unique story. I am transparent, collaborative, and am a valuable resource for you on your path towards meaningful change, peace of mind, and personal empowerment. I work with clients ages 18+ who are experiencing ADHD, Anxiety, Depression, substance misuse, are having existential questions or are stuck in building their identity; who are in the middle of a stressful life transition, are having family issues, issues in work and/or school, difficulty with self-esteem or social skills, grief, or loss of a relationship.

Viktor Frankl said "When we are no longer able to change a situation, we are challenged to change ourselves." I find building healthy client/therapist relationships very satisfying.

I am able to build rapport quickly with people and clients in general. I am willing to work with people who are ready to receive the help they need. I am easy to talk to, try to be a good listener, honest, up front, and aware of issues related to immigrants as I am originally from Pakistan and a practicing Muslim. I love working with students specially as they are in the process of transitioning in life and often times need more help with coping.

Many of the students I work with are dealing with anxiety, stress, sadness, imposter syndrome, or self-doubt. Some are managing heavy academic loads while also worrying about their future. Others are trying to balance school with family expectations, friendships, and romantic relationships. Many feel like they’re supposed to "have it all together" but deep down feel lost, stuck, or just exhausted from trying so hard. In our work together, we focus on giving you a place where you don’t have to perform or pretend. Therapy is a place where you can be honest about what’s hard, get support in making sense of it, and start finding ways to feel more grounded, more confident, and more in charge of your own life — without the pressure to be perfect.
