Sheri Fortin

Welcome, you are taking the steps! As a Mental Health Counselor with Diagnostic Privilege (LMHC-D), I provide a safe, supportive space where you can explore your life circumstances, stressors and better understand how these shape how you feel and relate to others. I work with adults and parents who may be feeling overwhelmed by life’s challenges, anxiety, or things they’ve been through. I also support parents of children who have experienced trauma, helping them better understand their children’s feelings and needs while building stronger connections. With training in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and Advanced Integrative Therapy (AIT), I offer a compassionate approach that honors you, respects your needs, and recognizes the strengths you bring to the work we do together.

I believe therapy is a place where you can be yourself, make sense of your experiences, and feel less alone in what you’re going through. My approach is collaborative and centered on understanding each person’s unique journey, strengths, and needs. Together, we’ll explore what’s important to you, gain a better understanding of your feelings and experiences, and find new ways to approach the things that you want to change.

Starting therapy can feel a little uncomfortable at first, and that’s okay. Our first session is a chance to get to know each other and talk about what’s going on in your life. You’ll have an opportunity to share what brought you to therapy and what you hope to work toward. You don’t need to have all the answers or to know exactly where to begin. We’ll take things one step at a time at your own pace. Together, we can explore your experiences, build on your strengths, and work toward the changes that matter most to you. I invite you to come as you are, and we’ll start with what feels most important to you.
