À propos de Sherry

Dans ses mots

Name: Sherry Battiste Title: Registered Clinical Social Worker Credentials: BA, BSW, MSW, RSW You might be doing everything you can to cope, thinking things through, pushing forward, or trying to communicate better, yet still find yourself stuck in the same patterns. Anxiety lingers. Conversations go sideways. Sometimes, you feel disconnected from yourself or the people who matter most. At a certain point, insight alone isn’t enough. Instead, you need a different way of working with what’s happening. Many of the people I work with are navigating anxiety, relationship challenges, emotional overwhelm, or the impact of past experiences. Over time, these patterns can narrow your world and make it harder to feel like yourself or connect in the ways you want to. If your world is narrowing, you aren’t alone. More importantly, you don’t have to think your way out of this by yourself. I work with adults and couples who want more than awareness. They want tools. Together, we identify what’s keeping you stuck. Then, our work focuses on slowing things down and understanding what’s underneath these patterns. At the same time, my work goes beyond insight by focusing on how to apply that understanding in everyday life. My approach is collaborative, practical, and tailored to you. I integrate evidence-based therapies, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Narrative Therapy, mindfulness practices, and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) skills. In addition, my experience in personal development and life skills training allows me to focus on structured, practical change. At the same time, I bring warmth, empathy, and a straightforward style to every session. Above all, I value honesty, clarity, and creating a space where you feel both supported and appropriately challenged. Together, we build the skills needed to move forward with greater clarity, confidence, and emotional balance. Therapy here isn’t just about talking. Instead, it’s about learning how to regulate emotions, shift patterns, and respond differently in the moments that matter most. Change happens when insight is paired with action. That is the focus of our work together. Whether you’re looking to strengthen your relationships, manage anxiety more effectively, or feel more grounded in yourself, therapy can help you move in that direction. When you’re ready to take the next step, I invite you to reach out and book an appointment. I look forward to supporting you on your journey. Experience: With over 20 years of experience across community, school, and hospital settings, I’ve supported individuals, families, and groups in developing both self-understanding and the practical skills needed to create meaningful change. Education: Bachelor of Arts, Major Psychology, St. Francis Xavier University. Community Services Diploma (extensive counselling skills training), Nova Scotia Community College, Pictou Campus. Bachelor's and Master's of Social Work, Dalhousie University, School of Social Work.

More than just my work: 1. Mindfulness practices, being in nature/hiking or with close friends and family brings me peace. 2. I love puzzles and card/board games. 3. "My mission in life is not merely to survive, but to thrive; and to do so with some passion, some compassion, some humor, and some style." - Maya Angelou

« The purpose of this **FREE 15-minute phone consultation** is to help new clients find the best fit with a therapist before booking their first appointment. *This consultation takes place over the phone and is not a therapy session*. Instead, it provides an opportunity to discuss what brings you to counselling, ask questions about our services, and determine which therapist may be the best match for your needs. All of our clinicians provide qualified, professional care and have different areas of focus, approaches, and populations they serve. Our goal is to connect you with the therapist who is the best fit for your goals. »
