Sherida Newmister

Sherida Newmister is a licensed clinical social worker practicing in Indiana with 27 years of clinical experience. She understands that people often reach out for support when they feel frustrated, sad, angry, or confused, and that many carry the exhaustion of appearing fine while managing pain and inner chaos.

She frequently works with individuals who have lost the energy to enjoy activities they once did, as well as those facing deep emotional struggles or family conflicts that others do not understand. When stress or confusion makes it hard to put feelings into words, she offers a space to explore those experiences and begin to find clarity.

Sherida has experience supporting adults, adolescents, children, couples, and families dealing with depression, anxiety, trauma, and significant life changes. Her therapeutic style centers on meeting clients where they are emotionally and partnering with them to set and reach meaningful goals. She and the client work as a team, drawing on the client’s strengths to build more constructive thoughts, feelings, and behaviors.

Her clinical approach blends cognitive-behavioral strategies, rational emotive techniques, and motivational interviewing to help clients move toward the lives they want. She sees seeking help as an act of courage and offers support and empowerment for those ready to make changes. Sherida is a licensed clinical social worker in both Florida and Indiana, bringing professional credentials and nearly three decades of experience to her practice.
