Meet Your Therapist
Sheri Truax, LCSW
Struggling with what parenting methods that you should try, because you feel like you have tried everything? Thinking that your child might benefit from talking about their life experiences to a supportive, non-judgemental adult? Not sure what is normal in your child's behavior or what should be addressed? Is your child using their mental health as a reason to not engage in their life? Do you want guidance on how to encourage better choices and discourage isolation, screen time, etc?
Let me help you, as your child/teen's therapist. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 20 years in mental health. My approach is personalized & collaborative, with a focus on Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Narrative Therapy & Mindfulness strategies.

Why Choose Birch Tree Counseling LLC?
Counseling can help with
Anxiety
Anxiety is the most treatable mental illness. Kids respond well to new mindsets and tools to help reduce the symptoms that they are dealing with. They can come in and check me out, to see if it is something they feel comfortable with. They will not regret it.
Military Life
As a former military counselor, and military veteran spouse, I have extensive experience working with military families around transitions, deployments, and military-related stressors. We offer Counseling that emphasizes resilience and positive coping strategies so that clients can thrive in their daily lives
Parenting Challenges
Modern parenting is no joke. It requires time and thought and sometimes working against the popular stream! Let me help you with enhanced communcation, positive parenting skills and a child who wants a good relationship with you.
ADHD- positives and negatives
As a therapist also diagnosed recently with ADHD, I have immersed myself in books and social media on what the life of the "neurodivergent" is like and what life hacks exist to make it all easier. I also see the positive sides to having this difference and want your kiddos to see the positive sides as well. They can learn tools from me on how to manage their struggles better, but to not beat themselves up over any of it!
