Meet Sheridan Robinson | Operations Director

We had the good fortune of connecting with Sheridan Robinson and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Sheridan, we’d love to hear more about how you thought about starting your own business?
Hiring individuals with diverse backgrounds and specialties that allowed me to offer a comprehensive range of services. I wanted to ensure that that I created a team shared my agency’s vision and were committed to providing high-quality care. I also wanted to establish partnerships and collaborations with other organizations, such as hospitals, community centers, schools, and support groups to expand our reach, enhance our service offerings, and create a network of support within the community.

Can you give our readers an introduction to your business? Maybe you can share a bit about what you do and what sets you apart from others?

Lakeview Health is a mental health agency that offers trauma-informed services aimed at providing comprehensive care and support to individuals who have experienced trauma. Our agency understands that trauma can have a profound impact on a person’s mental, emotional, and physical well-being, and we are dedicated to offering specialized services to help individuals heal and thrive.

What sets our trauma-informed services apart from others is our commitment to creating a safe and supportive environment for our clients. We recognize that trauma can manifest differently for each individual and that a one-size-fits-all approach does not work. Therefore, we take a personalized approach to care, tailoring our services to meet the unique needs of each person.

Here are some key aspects that set our trauma-informed services apart:

Empowerment and Collaboration: We believe in empowering individuals to take an active role in their healing journey. Our services are designed to promote collaboration between clients and our team of professionals, fostering a sense of control and choice.

Safety and Trust: Creating a safe and trusting environment is paramount in trauma-informed care. We prioritize building strong therapeutic alliances with our clients, ensuring they feel supported, respected, and validated throughout their treatment.

Comprehensive Assessment: Our experienced clinicians conduct thorough assessments to understand the nature and impact of the trauma experienced. This assessment helps us develop personalized treatment plans that address the specific needs and goals of each individual.

Evidence-Based Interventions: We utilize evidence-based interventions that have been shown to be effective in trauma treatment. These interventions may include cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), mindfulness-based practices, and other trauma-focused modalities.

Holistic Approach: We recognize that trauma affects multiple aspects of a person’s life. Therefore, our services incorporate a holistic approach that addresses the physical, emotional, and social aspects of healing. We may integrate complementary therapies such as art therapy, yoga, and mindfulness practices to support overall well-being.

Ongoing Support and Aftercare: Our commitment to clients extends beyond the treatment phase. We provide ongoing support and offer comprehensive aftercare services to ensure a smooth transition into daily life. This may include referrals to community resources, support groups, and continued therapy sessions as needed.

At Lakeview Health, we strive to create a nurturing and empowering environment where individuals can heal from trauma and build resilience. Our trauma-informed services prioritize safety, trust, collaboration, and evidence-based interventions, ensuring that each person receives the personalized care they deserve.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
If my best friend was visiting the area, I would want to take them to some of the coolest and chic restaurants Dallas has to offer! Being a lover of all foods, I would say Dakota’s is a fave and must try. My favorite bar for drinks would be Harlowe’s in Deep Ellum or Bowl and Barrel for some great drinks and games. I would say my favorite chill and vibe spot would be TinMan Social in Little Elm. Dallas itself is a BIG city so there are many aesthetically pleasing restaurants with great foods, drinks and vibes!

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
I would like to dedicate my shoutout to my kids Bryce and Riley and to my strongest supporter LeMichael.

I would also like to give credit to my aunt who believed in me more than I believed in myself. She pushed me daily to see my highest potential and for the unconditional and purest love, I say THANK YOU aunt Chell.
