I'm a Licensed Clinical Social worker in the Southern California area. For almost 28 years I have worked with people who need extra help to get through tough situations. I have numerous areas of specialty and use techniques that I believe will best fit each client. I am committed to helping people heal and grieve. and too help people get through periods of crisis in their lives - either expected or unexpected. I want you to feel comfortable with yourself and rise to your full potential. I have worked with children, adults, couples and families as they navigate obstacles and together we create solutions.

I strive to create a warm and friendly and supportive environment where you feel heard and understood. I believe the safety of the therapeutic re; relationship allows you to engage in a meaningful exploration of the issues that are impacting your wellbeing. Therapy is a collaborative process and my role is to empower you to reach your goals.

I look forward to working together and creating new possibilities.

About online counseling

Online counseling allows you to receive care from an online mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

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.

M.A.·Aug 09, 2021

Overall

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!

C.A.·May 04, 2021

Overall

I feel heard, understood and acknowledged. Sheri lets me steer the session while simultaneously inquiring about my thought process or suggesting a different way to perceive a challenging personal interaction or a situation I’m feeling upset about. Her style really works for me.

S.T.·Apr 12, 2021

Overall

Sherie is professional, supportive and understanding. I never feel rushed or pressured and am able to express myself comfortably. She provides advice and tools to help me in between sessions.

Overall

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.
