*Sherry is a qualified supervisor for LPCs in the state of Michigan and is EMDRIA certified in EMDR.
In Sherry’s own words: “I work with individuals who wish to live a full and rewarding life regardless of past experiences or current challenges. My clients have a range of issues including depression, anxiety, recent or remote trauma, childhood maltreatment, family dysfunction, women’s issues, distortions of thought, or grief and loss. I use a variety of carefully chosen modalities to assist clients in reaching their personal goals. Such modalities might include EMDR, CBT, traditional talk therapy, relaxation, biofeedback, pyscho-dynamic interpretation, assessment measures, and reading or writing material.
Making changes is never easy. It takes purposeful effort both inside and outside the therapy environment. Many clients find personal growth both difficult and rewarding. Therapy is not a sprint, it means learning new techniques for living and continuing to hone these techniques long after the therapeutic relationship has ended.”
