Sherry Farrell, LMFT

Sherry Farrell is a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in California with 10 years of clinical experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, relationships, trauma and abuse, depression, addictions, and codependency among other concerns. Sessions are conversational and practical, with a focus on helping people notice patterns and try new ways of responding.

Farrell trained in counseling psychology and has worked in clinics and both alternative and mainstream school settings. That time teaching while raising children gave her a broad view of how people cope across home, school, and community environments. She draws on that background when she helps clients sort out relationship strains, parenting stress, and life changes.

In session she uses Client-Centered approaches alongside Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused techniques. She describes therapy as a team effort - listening first, then trying manageable steps to change what isn’t working. Conversations often move from understanding patterns to testing small, practical actions between sessions.

She has experience addressing grief, intimacy issues, eating and sleeping problems, caregiver stress, and attachment concerns. Farrell also works with mood disorders, ADHD, and the fallout of trauma and abuse. She helps people who struggle with people-pleasing, boundary-setting, and getting stuck in caretaking roles.

Her style is straightforward and relational. She aims to help clients develop clearer limits, steadier emotion regulation, and more intentional choices in relationships and daily life. Prospective clients are invited to complete a short questionnaire and schedule a first session to begin.
