Couples Therapist and Founder
Sheri Hardin, LCSW, therapist and founder
Sheri currently offers couples therapy, “stay or go” counseling, relationship counseling for one, divorce support and recovery, and heartbreak recovery.
She is available for virtual sessions Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday daytime hours, and Wednesday evenings. In-person sessions are available on Wednesday evenings and Thursdays during the day. She serves clients in Georgia.
Sheri recognizes the value of loving, harmonious, fun, respectful, and honest relationships that involve a high degree of personal responsibility, and her passion is helping people achieve this. She believes that personal growth and cooperative team work are the cornerstones to healthy, thriving relationships, and she helps people achieve this by working either with the couple or with one person individually.
Sheri is an avid dancer and the mother of a teenage daughter. She is also an entrepreneur and a native of Oklahoma (otherwise known as an “Okie”). The Crescent City is her second home, and she loves to travel and explore new places. Occasionally, Sheri can be found on one of the many beautiful hiking trails in Atlanta or North Georgia.
As an Atlanta therapist, Sheri has seen what it takes to make a marriage last for decades. Her parents were married almost 51 years when her mother passed away. She knows that marriage is not easy, as she has also experienced firsthand the challenges that marriage can bring and what it takes to maneuver through them. Sheri knows that the work on a relationship can be difficult, and sometimes hard decisions need to be made along the way. She also knows the rewards can be rich from doing growth work, both individually and as a couple.
With her varied background in different mental health settings, including a family service agency, counseling center, hospice care, emergency room, and psychiatric hospital, Sheri has gained rich experiences that inform her current work as a psychotherapist. She appreciates working with clients of all spiritual and religious backgrounds.
