Sheri Gundry, RP, EXAT

Registered Psychotherapist, Expressive Arts Therapist

Expressive Arts, Healing, Wellness, and Mindfulness

Hello! I’m Sheri

Registered Psychotherapist,
Expressive Arts Therapist

My approach to Psychotherapy is through an Expressive Arts Model. It is client-centred, attachment and trauma-informed, explorative and intuitive. I offer a safe and interactive atmosphere that is intuitive, relational, creative, and at times collaborative. I am led by you in what you bring to each session, and in how each session unfolds.

We will discuss what is going on for you, and when you are ready, we will move into a discovery process through the arts. The art we create is “low skill, high sensitivity”, so there is no previous artistic experience required. I facilitate that part of our session, so you begin from a place of ease.

I work with both individuals and groups. So should you require some discussion about a group you would like me to work with, please contact me to discuss more of the details.

I look forward to discussing your particular situation, and your needs.

My Approach & Values

Sheri believes in being a witness and companion through her client’s journey. Offering a place where there is no expectation and no-judgement of the process; removing barriers and supporting her clients through a self-discovery process that encourages new ways to live their lives in more robust. richer, and more authentic ways.

Sheri has not only been educated in therapy, but also has first hand knowledge of deeper, more challenging mental health issues, having had family members who have struggled with mental health and wellness. These experiences deeply inform her work in her practice and allows for a deeper, more relational awareness.
