I believe in my heart Dr.Aaker would be truly concerned about me and I felt more of a kinship than patient and therapist. She would ask me about my puppy Layla , my kids and grandkids .I loved how personable she was

Dr. Sherry listens well, builds rapport exceptionally well, and learns how I - as her client - learn best - she is deeply academic, refers me to the science of the brain, and emotion, so I can actually name "my demons" and face them as appropriate. She is amazing at helping me identify patterns of behavior that do not serve me currently that have served me in the past and leaving me to decide how to adjust. She knows when to lecture and when to receive information. Perfect balance for a talk therapist.

Dr. Aaker has helped me through so many things this past year. She has helped me let go of the things that are bad for me and embrace the things that are good. She truly hears me and helps me work through every single issue that I face. I'm very grateful for her!

Sherry is very interactive and lively. She doesn't just ask " and how do you feel about that questions", she shares personal stories about herself. It feels like talking to a good friend, but someone with a better knowledge about how to deal with the emotions you are going through. I highly recommend her because of her style of relating to your experience.

She is excellent. She passes no judgement and is a straight shooter, which I love! I also love having a “local” professional. It makes it more personal when this platform is digital.

Dr. Aaker was amazing! I loved having her as a therapist. She really helped me get through a lot and adjust to my new life. I’ve done a lot of growth and self-reflection. I have also learned a lot about myself and others. She helped me to build my confidence back up which is something that has been missing for a long time. Would recommend her to anyone!

Dr. Aaker is fantastic. I came into therapy with knowledge of how it should work. She has lived up to my expectations. She listens carefully, and then helps you gain understanding to improve your life. She is a great listener and provides goals and plans of actions that someone might not think of on their own, especially if they are in a crisis. Sherry is great!

Par excellence is how I describe my gem of a therapist. The divorce would have taken a devastating toll on my life. But I believe my therapist exhibits the expertise and God-given grace to help me navigate this terrain of rejection, shame, and betrayal. Sherry, is par excellence.
