Sherri makes you feel very comfortable talking to her and she is very positive. I feel like though I’m wasting money only talking for 30 minutes and her schedule seems to fill up fast so even if I needed to reschedule for another time in the week it’s hard to do. I do get the sense this app is a more get the job done kind of thing but that’s just my experience ! Overall Sherri is someone I felt like I can talk to but getting her to respond besides our session is where it was off for me: I was hoping my therapist would be more involved but we just probably weren’t a good match and that’s ok❤️ hope this helps !

She listened and that was enough. When she asked questions as if she cared about the response, that was satisfying. It was when she stepped into my shoes and felt what I felt, saw it from my perspective, then I was blown away and ready to heal. I needed validation of certain emotions but I never knew that until we talked and she heard me.

I was a total mental train wreck before the good Doc. I had needed therapy for over a decade but always turned away from it for fear of judgment and fear of a lack of empathy after a bad run with a psych in 2011.
Miss Burkert is the most kind and caring person I’ve ever met from this medical field. She’s gotten me out of my funk and on a path to doing better.
I’m far from where I want to be, but I’m a lot better than I was and it’s thanks to her
