Sheryl Bear is the very best therapist I have ever been to. She's a straight talker; is not a mollycoddler; teaches me how to think more clearly; can even have me laughing at myself--she has a terrific sense of humor; is very perceptive; and always respectful. Has an outstanding set of therapeutic skills. Over many years, I have been to a number of therapists. It's very hard to find an effective therapist. Some have done me far more harm than good. I continue to be thankful to have been referred to Sheryl Bear--by another fine therapist no longer local--Dr. Edward T. L. Smith.
