About Sherri Kardell
Sherri Kardell is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) and life coach practicing in California with seven years of clinical experience. She provides psychotherapy and coaching for people navigating difficult life transitions, offering steady support for those experiencing grief after the loss of a significant loved one, the end of an important relationship, or the pain of a broken heart.
She works with individuals who find themselves caught in cycles of stops and starts, who struggle to access an inner sense of calm, or who face repeated patterns of loneliness and uncertainty about life purpose. Her practice addresses challenges in forming and maintaining intimate partnerships and focuses on strengthening self-confidence and cultivating a more authentic life.
Sherri helps clients resolve relationship conflicts and process early relational wounding and trauma in order to shift faulty belief systems and unconscious patterns. She draws primarily on an attachment-based understanding of development and integrates Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Existential Therapy, and Imago Relationship Therapy to support healing and growth. Her work seeks to reclaim parts of the self that were set aside to adapt to early conditioning often related to cultural norms, rigid gender conditioning, or outdated social expectations.
She offers a range of practical tools designed to help people reconnect with their core sense of self and address the relational wounds that have shaped their sense of worthiness. A decade of dedicated spiritual practice informs her ability to look past entrenched defense systems and to bring empathy and careful attunement to the more subtle, often unconscious, aspects of experience. Sherri provides a hybrid approach that often combines psychotherapy with life-coaching and frames her role in the spirit of the Irish concept of 'soul friend' - a confidant who listens deeply and understands at a profound level. She tailors conversations and treatment plans to each person's specific goals and remains committed to supporting the courage it takes to begin and continue therapeutic work.
