Sherry Masterson

Owner and therapist, Sherry Masterson is excited to fulfill a lifelong dream of operating a counselling practice to help others. She grew up in Peterborough and completed a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology at Trent University before moving to the Millbrook area with her husband to raise their family and enjoy the rural setting.

Sherry returned to Trent to complete her Bachelor of Education and began a rewarding teaching career in 2009. The past 5 years brought many unexpected challenges and also offered the opportunity for Sherry to pursue her goal of becoming a counsellor. She is a recent graduate of Yorkville University, having completed her Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology.

It is Sherry's hope to initiate caring, collaborative conversations with clients filled with warmth, compassion, acceptance, and a laugh or two. From that foundation, she aims to work with clients to identify their needs and values, set goals, develop new skills and insights, and move toward healing and growth.

With a grounding in humanistic theory and training in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT), Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT), Solution-Based Brief Therapy (SFBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), and trauma informed care, Sherry enjoys working with individuals and those in relationship.

Sherry is a member of the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario (CRPO) and the Ontario College of Teachers (OCT).
