The BIO of Sherri Scott-Berner and Associates.

COUNSELING AND LIFE COACHING PRACTICE:

Modalities:
Sherri works as a Psychological Cognitive Behavior Therapist who also works in the modalities of DBT, Gestalt (Psycho Drama), Psychoanalytical, Person Centered, Marriage and Family Therapy, and Life Coach for individual personal and corporate clients and groups.

Her Style:
It is not uncommon to be welcomed by Sherri sporting blue jeans, bare feet, and a steaming pot of hot tea - clearly coming off more like the "girl next door" than your typical stereo-typed therapist. She is very upfront and to the point, but very compassionate. However, don’t let that all fool you - she still means business, and she gives out the homework to prove it.

Who She Works With:
She works alongside SINGLE CLIENTS, MARRIED ADULT CLIENTS, YOUNG ADULT CLIENTS, and CORPORATE WORKSHOPS

Her Specialties:
Sherri specializes in both regular and “last chance” marital cases as well as working with individual clients suffering with Depression, Anxiety, Fear, Anger, Life Decisions, Empty Nest Syndrome, Autism, ADHD, Personality Disorders, Career Adjustments, and Parenting Issues. She is also a certified Life Coach.

(Sherri) "We don't just talk about it" is my slogan. You can even see it written on my truck if you catch me out and about town. I want couples out there, (especially the men out there), to know that my counselling style is a "fix-it" style. I don't spend endless hours hashing over each emotionally charged story of your married or single life; instead, we look at where you are, where you wish to be, and from there, "we" can devise a plan of how to get there.


LOCATION:

Sherri works remotely which allows her to work with clients worldwide, so she has gained an extensive understanding of many cultures. Also, because this puts her in many times zones, she can usually accommodate an full array of booking times.

At present, Sherri is offering video or phone conferencing, as her clients are more comfortable with this given health scenarios. Also this allows clients to have their sessions in the comfort of their own home, office or during their commute.


PERSONAL LIFE AND ACHIEVEMENTS:

Sherri, is a mother of two successful young adults.

She co-owned, (for 6 years), one of the first Christian Internet Counselling Websites in North America that concentrated on helping married couples who feel either the passion/intimacy or friendship in their marriage had diminished; or those who were hoping to awaken passion or friendship that had never been there from the start.

With an accompanying degree as a Paralegal, and graduating with ‘Highest Honors', Sherri has expert experience
on the destructiveness of divorce, and uses an upfront and casual counselling style to help steer couples in the direction of healing their marriages in a proactive fashion.

Producing, directing and acting, remains close to Sherri’s heart, which she demonstrates by working with community adult and children’s theater, an experience that she uses to facilitate Psychodrama Therapy and Group Therapy.

Sherri has also worked as a Youth Leader, helping to lead programs, activities and addressing many emotional topics plaguing young teens today which include: parental problems, premarital sex, rape, teen pregnancy, pornography, a lack of initiative, drugs & drinking, addictions, suicide, school pressures, employment/career planning, personality testing, and peer relationships.

These related attributes help Sherri holistically work with couples, adult individuals and youth, in many different counselling arenas with her Cognitive/Behavioral approach; thus assisting her clients to move onto more successful, meaningful marriages, relationships and lives, in as short as ‘six’ sessions, or ‘one’ of her weekend “Intensive Workshops”.

(Sherri) ”I have worked for 10 years now with many couples who are struggling in their marriages; whether there has been infidelity, a breach of trust, or sexual incompatibility. With the negative influences of the Internet and TV on our society, monogamous couples are the perfect targets to be affected by destructive forces. "Unfortunately there is not much help out there for couples who are suffering from the relational setbacks of pornography, or issues from sexual trauma stemming from childhood and young adulthood experiences; issues that still negatively affect their marriages today."

Corporate Counselling has been becoming very popular in the last few years , aiding both Executives and their teams with an opportunity to increase productivity and avoid burnout. Sherri offers both one on one, and corporate group workshops at your work place or venue. Inquire by email for corporate pricing. sherriscottberner@gmail.com.


HOW CAN I HELP YOU?

(Sherri) "I have lived a life full of experiences, and have had no lack of struggles myself. Being a survivor of these situations, gives me an edge in helping others. I'm not just a therapist with book knowledge, in many cases I may have even walked in my client's shoes."

"I feel WITH my clients and believe it may be that very thing that sets me apart from other professionals, I truly and sincerely want to see my clients succeed in their lives and hope to be the one to catapult them into that much needed direction of healing."

SHERRI'S DESIRE FOR YOUR THERAPY:

"My desire is to provide my clients with hands-on Cognitive/Behavioral type therapy, (whether in private practice, group setting, or in a semi- seminar type environment). I hope to help them achieve important techniques to better understand themselves, cope with life safely and effectively, and improve communication to safeguard their lives in all arenas. I want them to be able to face their fear and pain, as well as deal with possibly abusive, or sexual issues and questions that the majority of individuals don’t feel comfortable discussing with their doctors. "Most importantly, my goal is to create an atmosphere that is comfortable, and a relationship between myself and my client that allows them to share safely without fear of judgment."
