Sherry Farrell, LMFT

Sherry Farrell is a California-based therapist who brings a decade of clinical experience and a family-focused perspective to her practice. She holds a master’s degree in Counseling Psychology from the University of San Francisco and a bachelor’s degree in Clinical Psychology from San Francisco State University. As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist - LMFT - she combines formal training with hands-on work in clinics and schools to support individuals, couples, and families.

Her career began with approximately five years working directly in the field of psychology before she spent time teaching young people while raising her own children. That transition broadened her understanding of developmental, educational, and family dynamics and now informs how she approaches therapy. She has provided care in clinical settings and in both alternative and mainstream school environments, working with children facing challenges such as Conduct Disorder, ADHD, depression, social isolation, anxiety, suicidal thinking, abuse, and family stress.

Sherry has also supported couples and families dealing with addiction, infidelity, parenting struggles, mood disorders, physical challenges, and divorce. Her individual work has focused on anxiety, depression, PTSD, OCD, and life transitions. She draws on a range of evidence-informed methods - including Solution-Focused, Client-Centered, Narrative, Motivational, Existential, and Cognitive Behavioral therapies - tailoring strategies to each client’s needs. She prioritizes building a relationship grounded in compassion, understanding, respect, and collaborative problem solving, meeting clients where they are and working together toward meaningful, lasting change.
