Therapist

Hi, I’m Liz! I help clients heal from past trauma and uncover the root of what’s keeping them feeling stuck. Trauma can shape the way you see yourself, others, and the world—often showing up as anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, or difficulty setting healthy boundaries.

My work focuses on addressing these deeper patterns to support lasting healing and meaningful personal growth. For those who desire it, I also offer the option to integrate Christian faith into the counseling process.

I believe therapy should not only be effective but also feel human and approachable. We’ll roll up our sleeves and do the work together, while also making space for moments of lightness along the way.

Therapist

Most of us haven’t made it through life without a few bruises. Sometimes we lose touch with ourselves along the way, shaped by what we’ve been through and the weight of those experiences.

That doesn’t mean anything is wrong with you. It means you adapted. Sometimes beautifully. Sometimes painfully. Often both.

Therapy is a space to slow down, get curious, and gently begin untangling what you’ve been carrying. Together, we can explore your story with compassion, reconnect with who you are beneath old patterns, and move toward a way of living that feels more aligned, grounded, and authentic.

Sherie Chapman

Therapist

Virtual • Connecticut


I am Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with over 29 years of experience supporting people through life’s challenges and transitions. Over the years, I have worked in schools, community programs, and private practice, and each setting has strengthened my belief in the resilience people carry, sometimes without even realizing it.

In my practice, I offer telehealth therapy for young adults and adults. I specialize in trauma, anxiety, depression, and life transitions, and I bring a strengths-based and holistic lens to every session. I often integrate CBT, Solution-Focused Therapy, mindfulness, and gentle body-centered practices to help clients reconnect with themselves in meaningful ways.

At the heart of my work is creating a warm, grounded space where clients feel seen, supported, and encouraged to grow at their own pace. I believe healing happens in relationships, and I’m honored to walk alongside the people I work with.
