Shi(f)t Happens
and so does healing
Trauma-informed therapy for teens, adults, and couples. I'm the owner, operator, and only therapist here — so the person you meet on the consult call is the person who does the work with you.
Something has to change — you're just not sure what
01
Your teen has stopped talking to you — and past therapy didn't stick.
02
You're holding everything together and quietly running on empty.
03
You and your partner keep having the same fight in different clothes.
You don't need to arrive with the right words or a tidy explanation. You need someone who can sit in the unfinished middle of it with you and know what to do next.
Client categories
Who I work with
Ages 12–19
Teen & Adolescent Therapy
Your teen has stopped talking to you. Slammed doors, one-word answers, or a silence that feels like nothing's wrong when everything is. This is the work Sheri is known for.

Individual Therapy for Adults
You're exhausted in a way sleep doesn't fix, carrying something from years ago that still shows up in your body, performing fine while quietly falling apart.
Learn more →Gottman Method
Couples Therapy
You keep having the same fight in different clothes. Trust broke and hasn't fully come back. Here's where you stop circling and work through it.
Learn more →Groups & workplaces
Programs, Groups & Corporate Talks
Your team is burning out and nobody's saying it out loud. Someone keeps blowing up and doesn't know how to stop. Structured help, not a one-off pep talk.

The approach
Evidence-based, and stubbornly human
Trust before technique
Especially with teens. Nothing clinical works until someone actually wants to be in the room.
A plan built for you
Whatever you're carrying — the same fight on repeat, a teen who's shut you out, or something old still running your nervous system — the plan starts with your situation. CBT, EMDR, DBT skills, and narrative work are the tools, not the pitch.
Measured, not guessed
Feedback-informed practice, clear goals, and honest check-ins about whether it's working.

Sheri Boyd
MA, MBA, Provisional Psychologist
I came to psychology after a career in business, which means I've sat on both sides of burnout, ambition, and the pressure to keep performing while your life quietly falls apart.
I'm known for reaching adolescents other therapy hasn't — teens navigating self-harm, severe depression, and constant conflict at home. I also work with adults one-to-one, couples through the Gottman Method, and organizations who want to talk honestly about mental health.
Shift happens.
Let's make this one intentional.
Free 15-minute consult. In person in Calgary or virtually anywhere in Alberta.
