I’ve only had a couple of sessions with Dr. Sherie and I’m loving it! I had never been to therapy before and from our first session she made me feel understood & safe. Dr. Sherie was recommended to me by a friend and now I can see why. She’s wonderful! I’m truly grateful to have her as my therapist.

I’ve been talking with Sherie for a while now and from the beginning she has always been so patient. Even when I have a lot to unpack, we take it slow and work through it all at whatever pace I’m comfortable. At first, it just felt like I was venting, but over time I noticed the things she would tell me were popping up into the back of my head in between sessions. I’ve really started to see a big difference in myself & my mindset!

Sherie is an amazing therapist. I've had recurring depression and anxiety since I was young, with numerous attempts at seeing therapists for help. Due to switching insurance or not feeling like I was getting much out of my sessions, I was never able to stick to therapy. Sherie has been my therapist for ~9 months. I come out of every single session with something new to reflect on, a new perspective or awareness of something I did not notice before; I feel more positive and capable of handling tough things in life than ever. It always feels like she cares, without any judgment. Her "About Me" summary describes her perfectly! I am so grateful to her and truly impressed. I am also so grateful for the option of online therapy and that I gave it a chance.
