About Sheri
Sheri Pate is a licensed marriage and family therapist who uses mindfulness and mind-body practices as a core part of her work. She emphasizes accepting yourself where you are and meeting the moment with practical exercises. Sheri draws on guided imagery, deep relaxation, and awareness techniques to help people notice what matters and begin small changes.
She blends mindfulness with elements of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Emotionally-Focused and Attachment-based ideas. That mix helps address stress, anxiety, sleeping problems, and depression by teaching simple ways to shift unhelpful thoughts and bodily tension. Sessions also focus on relationship issues, communication problems, and parenting concerns when those areas affect someone's wellbeing.
Sheri has practiced as an LMFT since 2002 and brings 16 years of experience working with adults on life transitions, grief, chronic illness, and caregiver stress. She has led meditation, mindfulness, and yoga groups both in person and virtually, and she integrates those skills into one-on-one sessions when useful. She also developed a set of awareness tools called Witness Cards to make recognizing patterns easier.
Her approach starts with listening to the whole person and identifying strengths. She then introduces short mindfulness exercises and practical strategies tailored to daily life. Over time clients may learn new ways to manage emotions, improve sleep, and reconnect with sources of meaning and joy.
People who prefer a collaborative, gentle style of therapy may find her approach useful. She aims to help clients move toward more satisfaction in life at a pace that feels comfortable.
