Peter Sherlock

Hi! My name is Peter Sherlock, and I’m a licensed clinical psychologist (PsyD) practicing in the San Francisco Bay Area, though I see clients statewide via telehealth. My approach to therapy is warm, focused, and tailored to your needs. I will support you every step of the way as you develop the skills you need to live life in a way that feels right to you. My main areas of focus are depression, anxiety, mood disorders, and addiction.

In therapy, I will try to gain an understanding of your worldview and establish a strong connection between us. Based on your learning style and what you respond to, I will tailor my approach to help us move at a pace that is comfortable yet productive. I am experienced in cognitive behavioral, relational, and symptom-focused models. I welcome clients from all walks of life, from those who are seeking short-term, symptom-focused therapy, to those interested in doing more complex, long-term work.

In therapy, I aim to create an accepting, welcoming environment that makes you feel listened to. I do this by matching your pace and remaining attuned to the nuances of the issues we address in sessions. My hope is that we can work together with a high degree of curiosity, honesty, and collaboration. I will try my best to look closely at your experiences and issues in all their complexity, while staying focused on your goals, so that we can find constructive solutions that work for you.
