Helping People Heal Unresolved Stress

My approach

I use my education, training, and experience in clinical psychology to help my clients understand why they're thinking, feeling, and behaving in certain ways and combine that with coaching to keep people accountable to their goals. Using a number of advanced mind-body stress reduction techniques allows me to quickly identify the underlying emotional root issue causing physical or emotional pain. Once we identify and process the feelings associated with that event or relationship, the client is able to release the repressed emotions and their pain is alleviated.

The results are immediate and long-lasting.

Serena Sterling, MA, PsyD

 

Serena Sterling, MA, PsyD, holds a master’s in International Journalism, a doctorate in clinical psychology, and is a certified Life Coach. As a journalist in Portland, Oregon, San Francisco, London and New York City, Dr. Sterling wrote about health-related articles. Due to her own experience of overcoming chronic fatigue syndrome and finding ways to alleviate her own chronic pain from years of living with juvenile rheumatoid arthritis, Dr. Sterling pursued a degree in clinical psychology and learned advanced stress reduction techniques to assist others in overcoming their own health challenges.

She started her coaching practice in 2008 and has had offices in Philadelphia, San Francisco, Portland, Oregon, Seattle, and now Park City. She works with people from all over the world via remote sessions and consults and cross-refers with physical therapists, chiropractors, acupuncturists, massage therapists, and medical doctors when appropriate.

Dr. Sterling is also a speaker and gives talks on understanding how repressed emotions can cause chronic pain, inhibit athletes from recovering from injuries, and how identifying and releasing those emotions alleviates pain levels and improves health and performance.

 

“Serena has helped me immensely in helping to get ‘unstuck’ in achieving life goals, all done quickly with cutting-edge modalities. Serena gets results that traditional ‘talk’ therapy can only dream of.”

— MITCH, CLIENT
