“I highly recommend her to anyone seeking guidance and support. Her insights are eye-opening, and I cannot express how grateful I am for her seeing me the very same day. If you’re looking for a therapist who combines expertise with genuine compassion, look no further”

Getting to know Sherry Ackerman
I am a licensed clinical social worker in New York with over 15 years of experience working as a psychotherapist. I hold a Master’s in Social Work from New York University. I have extensive experience working with children, adults, and teens facing a wide range of concerns, including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting challenges, school and career difficulties, Autism, and ADHD. I have also helped many adults who have experienced trauma, abuse, and relationship or career issues.
My counseling style is warm and holistic. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I do not believe in stigmatizing labels. I am eclectic in my approach, combining cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, psychodynamic, and insight-oriented therapies. I tailor our dialogue and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.
It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps toward change. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to support and empower you.
I look forward to working with you!

It took me a long time to find a new therapist that was a good "fit" for me. I've found Sherry Ackerman to be very personable, reliable and helpful. Having been her client just for a few months has reminded me of the benefits of therapy.
