About Sheri
Sheri Pate is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) who centers mindfulness exercises in her work. She invites people to begin from where they are and uses breath, guided imagery, and awareness practices to help reduce stress and calm overwhelming thoughts. Sheri describes these simple practices as tools people can use right away to feel steadier and more able to cope.
She brings 16 years of clinical experience and draws on several therapeutic approaches to meet each person’s needs. Sheri blends mindfulness with attachment-based ideas, client-centered listening, cognitive behavioral techniques, and emotionally-focused methods. That mix helps people untangle relationship patterns, manage anxiety, and adjust to life changes.
Sheri has led mindfulness, meditation, and yoga groups across the country and adapted those offerings to virtual formats during the pandemic. She also uses guided imagery and deep relaxation to help clients connect with strengths and sense of purpose. Sheri developed a simple tool called Witness Cards to make it easier to notice areas for growth.
Her training includes a bachelor’s degree in psychology from UCLA and a master’s degree in counseling psychology from California Lutheran University. Sheri grew up in a diverse Los Angeles neighborhood and is a first-generation college graduate who values acceptance and respect.
In sessions she focuses on practical skills and gentle exploration. She helps people practice new ways of thinking and relating, build coping skills for sleep and stress, and find more enjoyment in life. The work is collaborative and paced to each person’s comfort level.
