Sherry Merideth

"Supportive, calm, a voice of reason, and a pillar of strength" and able to "meet others where they are" are some of the ways people around Sherry describe her. Coming to the world of therapy with more than twenty years of experience in the field of music and music education have given Sherry both the experience and the fresh perspective that she brings to the therapy room.

Sherry is centered, able to process and synthesize the messiest of stories, and persists, fueled by creative thinking and hope. Lastly, Sherry is marked by the dual principles that all people have inherent worth and dignity just as they are regardless of their abilities or symptoms and that there is meaning, freedom, and even joy in pursuing growth.
