You may have held doubts about talk therapy and perhaps are thinking therapy may not work at all for what you are dealing with. Psychotherapy like all science is continually changing. Both new and long held approaches to well-being are vast. I invite you to consider Brainspotting before you rule out therapy entirely. My role as a Brainspotting clinician is to offer you support, as you discover your innate capacity for positive self change. I specialize in trauma focused therapy, specializing in treating anxiety disorders. I focus on various forms of addiction, OCD, behavioral issues, depression, bi-polar and mood disorders.

I am a masters level trained Brainspotting clinician and a U.S. Army veteran. I believe in facilitating change in a supportive environment, following and observing your amazing capacity to heal from trauma in your therapeutic work. I work with veterans, first-responders, and other populations struggling with unresolved trauma and anxiety disorders.

Your unique circumstances are to be understood, honored respected and explored in a judgement free, supportive and caring environment. The issues that you bring into therapy remain entirely up to you. I will listen to your wants and needs; joining you on the journey towards your desired sense of well-being.

Seeking therapy can feel like a big step, and my goal is to provide a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where you feel heard, understood, and empowered. I believe that healing begins through genuine connection, and I consider it a privilege to walk alongside my clients as they navigate life's challenges and work toward meaningful change.

As a bilingual therapist (English and Spanish), I have experience working with adults, children, adolescents, couples, families, veterans, and at-risk youth. Throughout my career, I have supported individuals facing trauma, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, grief, parenting concerns, abuse, neglect, and co-occurring mental health and substance use disorders. These experiences have strengthened my passion for helping people build resilience, discover their strengths, and create lasting, positive change.

I recognize that every person's story is unique, so I tailor therapy to meet your individual needs and goals. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and evidence-based, drawing from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Psychodynamic Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, Narrative Therapy, and other therapeutic approaches to help you gain insight, develop practical coping skills, and move toward the life you want.

I am certified in various evidence based practices. I have also received specialized training in Gottman Method Couples Therapy and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), allowing me to support individuals and couples through trauma, relationship concerns, and life transitions with proven, effective treatment approaches.

Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, working through past experiences, navigating relationship difficulties, or simply looking for support during a challenging season of life, I look forward to helping you find healing, growth, and hope.

I'm Mary, and I want you to know that whatever's bringing you here — anxiety that won't quiet down, a relationship that's fraying, grief you can't shake, or patterns you keep repeating despite your best efforts — you don't have to figure it out alone. I've worked with individuals, couples, families, and teens facing some of life's hardest chapters, and I genuinely believe that the right support at the right time changes everything.

Sherri Crespin

Sherri Crespin

Psychiatric Mental Health NP

Virtual • San Diego, CA


Hello, my name is Sherri Crespin, a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner passionate about providing integrated care for complex mental health challenges, including personality disorders, PTSD and trauma, substance use disorders, ADHD, depression, anxiety, panic disorders, mood disorders, and bipolar conditions. My practice recognizes these conditions are interconnected in ways requiring specialized understanding.

I chose these specializations because I understand how trauma influences personality development, how ADHD complicates substance use recovery, how symptoms emerge during extreme stress, and how these complex interactions require providers who see the complete picture. Whether you're in recovery while managing other conditions, dealing with personality patterns that developed as survival mechanisms, or navigating multiple diagnoses, I bring the expertise needed for comprehensive care.

My approach emphasizes evidence-based treatments and the healing power of being truly understood. I recognize that seeking help for stigmatized conditions like personality disorders takes tremendous courage, especially after negative experiences with providers. I create a therapeutic space where you can explore your experiences without judgment or shame.

You can expect a thorough assessment, personalized treatment planning, and consistent support throughout our work together. My goal is to help you build resilience, develop effective coping strategies, and thrive in your daily life.

Shari Gilbert

Therapist

Virtual • California


I have been in the healing professions throughout my adult life, initially as a Registered Nurse, working in many different specialities (NICU, pediatrics, and Clinical Trials for Hepatitis C). I’m grateful for both careers and maintain an active interest in medicine and alternative healing. I practice Christian Counseling and my goal as a therapist is to meet you where you’re at and walk with you to a healthier, stronger place. For those of different faiths, I offer counseling oriented toward growth and healing, grounded in traditional values.

If you are experiencing anxiety, depression, grief and loss, difficulty in relationships or other concerns, and are desiring a therapeutic approach aligned with a Christian worldview or traditional values, I would be honored to speak with you.

I offer compassionate, supportive care where you’ll feel heard, valued, and encouraged in your journey of growth and healing. Member of the Focus on the Family Referral Network and American Association of Christian Counselors.
