Sherry Graham, M.Ed., LPC-S, RPT

As a solution-focused therapist, my goal is to help you uncover your true potential and lead a life that is worth celebrating. While we can’t change difficult situations of the past, we can work together to better understand and resolve challenges in your life. By applying complementary therapy approaches and techniques, we will unearth long-standing behavior patterns or negative perceptions that may be holding you back from experiencing a more fulfilling and meaningful life.

I am a practical, interactive therapist. Sometimes the focus of therapy is to resolve current problems. Other times its focus is long standing patterns of behavior that are not productive. Together, we’ll look for missing skills and patterns of behavior that have developed over time that are problematic.
I use a variety of techniques that help to develop and hone your new skills, build on your strengths and identify and achieve life goals. I also help you foster new skills and eliminate problem behaviors. Whether I am seeing a child, a family, an adult or a couple, I will strive to make each session impactful. Together we can make a real difference in your life.

My Beliefs:
  • Clients have the freedom to choose their own behaviors and attitudes
  • Clients have the creativity to find better ways to live
  • Clients have the intelligence to seek help & guidance when necessary
  • Clients have the right to set their own agenda for the counseling process
  • Clients have the right to expect respect, dignity, privacy, confidentiality,  and non-discrimination

Treatment specialization includes:
  • Depression
  • Anxiety

I have my License in Professional Counseling and have been in the mental health field for over 20 years. My experience has ranged from working with adults, children and families in private practice settings, hospitals, nursing homes, foster care agencies, domestic violence shelters, schools, non-profit counseling agencies and having a private practice.

I also have extensive training and experience working with children using play therapy, expressive arts therapy and filial therapy. I live in McKinney with my life partner, step-son, cat and two dogs (one of them, Roxi, who may sometimes show up to your counseling session!).
I have an M.Ed. in Counseling and Development from TWU with adjunct classes in play therapy from UNT.  I also have a B.S. in Psychology from Marymount University in Virginia.
