Hello! My name is Sherry, and welcome to Anchora Solis Therapy!

Anchora Solis contains the Latin noun for the word “anchor” and the possessive “of the sun”. In therapy, I believe that growing and/or healing requires 2 things: compassionate grounding (the Anchor) and the bold courage to step into your own warmth, light, and strengths. Just like how the sun cannot shine 24 hours a day, it can be tiring to “be strong” 24 hours a day. Therapy is a place where you are invited to take off the armour and just exist exactly as you are. I hope to provide a space where you do not have to carry the weight alone. 

As a psychotherapist, I bring a unique blend of authenticity and deep compassion to the therapeutic space. I believe in keeping an open mind, trusting my client as the expert of their experiences, and creating a safe environment where you can explore your truest self. Although it can be helpful to do mindful practices, cry, or deep reflection in therapy, I believe that it can also be helpful to laugh and celebrate. 

My practice is grounded in a relational lens, viewing your challenges through the context of your connections and experiences, including how systemic racism, discrimination, and societal biases impact your mental health. My practice is trauma-informed, anti-racist, feminist, and 2SLGBTQIA+ affirming. I integrate evidence and experience-based modalities, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT), and Narrative Therapy. 

What to expect from a first session:​

Our first session will consist of me getting to know you, your concerns, where you are at in your life, and if you have specific goals when it comes to therapy. I may ask questions about what you are feeling or thinking in the moment; however, it is up to you what you want to share. You are welcome to share as much or as little as you want as we start to build a therapeutic relationship. After our first session, I encourage you to reflect on if you feel that I am the right therapist for you. Please know that my feelings will not be hurt. I want to make sure you feel supported.
