About Sherry
I’m a licensed therapist in Georgia and Florida telehealth dedicated to supporting individuals through life’s most challenging moments. I work with clients navigating depression, anxiety, trauma, adjustments loss, grief, and low self-esteem. I can help you find your passion and purpose in life.
My approach is grounded in compassion and respect for each person’s unique journey. I use a blended approach of spiritual Christian worldview with cognitive behavior valuing the mind, body and soul. I specialize in helping clients work through communication difficulties, isolation, life purpose questions, guilt, shame, and forgiveness.
My therapeutic style honors your values and beliefs while creating a safe, non-judgmental space for healing. I believe in meeting you where you are and walking alongside you as you work toward meaningful change and greater peace in your life.

- “I appreciate being able to correspond with someone who cares.”
- “Dr Aaker is attentive and insightful. She encourages me to look at the reasons and the how to understand and work through my concerns.”
- “I believe in my heart Dr.Aaker would be truly concerned about me and I felt more of a kinship than patient and therapist. She would ask me about my puppy Layla , my kids and grandkids .I loved how personable she was”
- “Dr. Sherry listens well, builds rapport exceptionally well, and learns how I - as her client - learn best - she is deeply academic, refers me to the science of the brain, and emotion, so I can actually name "my demons" and face them as appropriate. She is amazing at helping me identify patterns of behavior that do not serve me currently that have served me in the past and leaving me to decide how to adjust. She knows when to lecture and when to receive information. Perfect balance for a talk therapist.”
- “Dr. Aaker, is kind and helps me to think about my experiences and helps me find ways to express myself.”
- “Dr. Aaker has helped me through so many things this past year. She has helped me let go of the things that are bad for me and embrace the things that are good. She truly hears me and helps me work through every single issue that I face. I'm very grateful for her!”
- “Down-to-earth, understanding, and intelligent. Listens well. <br /> Solution-oriented.”
- “Sherry is very interactive and lively. She doesn't just ask " and how do you feel about that questions", she shares personal stories about herself. It feels like talking to a good friend, but someone with a better knowledge about how to deal with the emotions you are going through. I highly recommend her because of her style of relating to your experience.”
- “Dr. Aaker is wonderful, not only in therapy sessions, but often sends me messages that are encouraging and uplifting!”
- “Dr. Aker is a fantastic therapist. She is just that I needed.”
- “She is excellent. She passes no judgement and is a straight shooter, which I love! I also love having a “local” professional. It makes it more personal when this platform is digital.”
- “Dr. Aaker was amazing! I loved having her as a therapist. She really helped me get through a lot and adjust to my new life. I’ve done a lot of growth and self-reflection. I have also learned a lot about myself and others. She helped me to build my confidence back up which is something that has been missing for a long time. Would recommend her to anyone!”
