Holistic Jungian therapist specializing in trauma and relationships
Hello. If you are reading this, congratulations on taking a step toward managing your mental health and self care.
Experiencing stress, transition and loss is an inevitable part of life. Coping with the difficulties and challenges of life is very specific to each of us as individuals. When we feel like life is pushing us beyond our limits, professional help may be what enables us to move forward and manage life’s struggles in a healthy way. I’m Michelle Sherman, a licensed master Social Worker with 20 years of experience. I work with individuals utilizing a strengths-based counseling approach. Different therapeutic techniques such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)and stress reduction methods are provided in a safe, empathic, and nonjudgmental space to maximize treatment effectiveness.
Earning your trust and creating a safe therapeutic relationship are very important to me. My work includes helping individuals through loss, anxiety, relationship challenges, family conflict, divorce and general life stress. Parenting in general and juggling the the demands of children with special needs are also a focus area. I have done a great deal of advocacy within schools to help families with IEP’s and 504 plans. Exploring mindfulness techniques, addressing self regulation, challenging negative thinking patterns, and exploring “the whys” behind habits are some of the strategies I use to support clients.
The individuals and families I work with have shared over the years that they find me to be open, caring, a great listener, warm, accepting and full of strategies, methodology and tools that have been helpful.
Finding the right therapist can feel overwhelming. Hang in there! You are on your way and worth the effort and time it will take to find a therapist who will be a great fit. I wish you well on this journey and look forward to meeting you.

For many common concerns – including stress, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, and navigating life changes – online therapy can be an effective option comparable to traditional in-person care. Research and practice have shown that remote treatment works well for these types of challenges.
A major benefit of online therapy is flexibility. Clients can connect with licensed professionals in the format that suits them best: video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging. This range of options makes it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to choose the communication style that feels most comfortable.
Each therapist offering online care is a licensed professional, and clients have the ability to switch providers at any time if they seek a different fit. For those considering therapy, online formats provide an accessible and practical pathway to support and growth.
