Hi and Welcome,
Feeling Crazy? Lost your peace? Struggling with thoughts and emotions? Sometimes life can lead us to a place where we want to “give up.”
If you’re reading this you are probably looking for support. You’ve come to the right place. It takes a strong person to seek out counseling and support to initiate the change you are looking for. I would love to help you get there.
My name is Sherie Abel. I’ve been a licensed Marriage and Family therapist for almost 20 years. Counseling is an area that ignites my passion. During sessions the world stands still as I learn about you and help you reach your goals.
One of the most important building blocks for growth in therapy is the relationship between the individual and the therapist. My approach is different with every individual, depending on their specific needs.
I can help you regain your perspective and focus by providing you with tools to help you get back on track. It’s time to exchange fear, anxiety or panic for peace.
I am a Solution-Focused Therapist that incorporates a variety of psychodynamic and Evidenced-Based therapies from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to Mindfulness.

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Sherie Abel. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
I was skeptical about whether or not I actually needed counseling at this point in my life, as I considered myself to be well-adjusted and balanced for the most part. With everything that changed due to COVID-19, I decided to give it a shot since I was quarantined at home, alone.
After having just two weeks with Sherie I have realized that there was a lot that needed to be explored inside of me, and that there were things that were unresolved that needed to be brought to the surface and worked out. I can say without a shadow of a doubt this was worth every dime, and that I am much better for it! This is something I will always turn to, to maintain the inner me from now on!
