Sherry Ellis, LCSW

Sherry Ellis, LCSW

Psychotherapist
CA
Hi there, I'm Sherry! Hello and welcome, I am Sherry Ellis, LCSW. I’m a therapist committed to helping others take steps toward the life they want to live and the changes that make sense to them. My work focuses on targeting ineffective behaviors, learning new skills, and changing self-defeating thoughts to align with your goals. I believe in a collaborative approach, providing positive regard, and supporting clients in reaching their goals. My approach I take a compassionate and understanding approach rooted in mindfulness to tailor techniques to your specific needs that integrate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness, Client-Centered Therapy, Problem-Solving Therapy, Trauma-Informed Care, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. My focus I am experienced in working with clients facing anxiety, behavioral issues, building healthy coping skills, depression, managing job-related stress, life transitions, relationship issues, low self-esteem, stress, thought disorders, and women’s issues. My communication style I create a welcoming, nonjudgmental, and comfortable space that allows you to be transparent and yourself. I am an open-minded, relatable psychotherapist and welcome you to a space where your healing and life-fulfilling journey can begin. You are the expert of your life. I am not here to tell you what to do or how to live but to empower you and provide unconditional positive regard throughout your journey. My journey to therapy Growing up, my grandmother was the person everyone in the neighborhood could come to for help. She showed me the power of being supportive and nonjudgmental. As a child, I saw people at their worst transform into their best selves because of unconditional support and a willingness to meet people where they are. I earned my Master’s in Social Work from California State University, Dominguez Hills, equipping me with the knowledge and skills to support clients effectively on their healing journeys.
