Dr. Sherry Helgoe
Your Partner in Achieving Personal and Professional Success
Welcome! With over 25 years of experience as a clinician and I specialize in helping adults and couples navigate the complexities of modern life. My approach is grounded in Positive Psychology and Solution-Focused techniques, ensuring that our work together is both effective and transformative.
I am proud to hold a Doctorate in Psychology, which underpins my extensive knowledge and expertise in the field. Additionally, I am dually licensed as a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) and a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC). This extensive training allows me to offer a comprehensive understanding of mental health and therapeutic practices, enabling me to help you overcome the challenges you are currently facing. My expertise spans individual therapy, couples counseling, career guidance, and business coaching, all tailored to meet your unique needs.
In addition to my private practice, I have been a professor for 17 years at Pepperdine University’s Graduate School of Education and Psychology, including 5 years of teaching graduate classes on Zoom. This dual role allows me to stay at the forefront of psychological research while imparting knowledge to future therapists. My teaching and training expertise in Adult Learning Theory ensures that my methods are tailored to how adults learn best—by connecting with relevant materials, leveraging personal experiences, and enhancing self-awareness.
Years ago, my passion for helping clients navigate career challenges led me to complete the required education and training to become a licensed Professional Clinical Counselor in California. Whether you aim to excel in your current profession, explore a different career, or start your own business, I can help you identify concrete action steps to achieve your goals.
I am also authoring a book titled, “What Went Well”, which is based on the stories of seven women in group therapy and will be out by the end of the year. This book is the culmination of my extensive experience as a clinician teaching group therapy, providing group therapy for years, and my own participation in an international group therapy experience.
Beyond my professional life, I love to travel, explore the mountains, attend concerts, garden, and spend time with my dogs. My love of family and friends is central to who I am, and I bring this warmth and dedication into my practice, ensuring a supportive and empathetic environment for all my clients.
