About me
PROFESSIONAL EDUCATION
In 2003, I received my Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology from University of North Carolina at Wilmington. I earned a Master of Arts degree in Counseling from Wake Forest University in 2018. My graduate program is accredited by the American Counseling Association’s Council for the Accreditation of Counseling and Related Educational Programs (CACREP), the nationally recognized agency for counseling graduate program
THEORETICAL ORIENTATION
My approach to counseling is based upon Person-Centered, Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, and Cognitive-Behavioral theoretical principles. During session, I strive to maintain an environment that contains unconditional positive regard, empathy and will be genuine. I guide clients through the process of exploring feeling, thoughts and solutions. I will work with you to develop a plan not just for the moment but to carry into the future.
COUNSELING BACKGROUND
My professional path started with a career in nursing. I learned that there was a large gap in whole body healthcare and I wanted to help my patients heal mentally. I made the transition to mental health because I wanted to make a lasting impact. I am trained in Grief and Loss Counseling, Trauma Counseling, Premarital Counseling, and Group Counseling. I have over 12 years of training and experience which includes work with terminally ill, military members and their families, alternative sexual life, trauma, and LGBTQ+. I am also EMDR trained.

Reviews
These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Sherrita Ried. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with Regain might be different.
We feel safe, seen and heard with Sherrita. She gives very helpful impulses, we only been in session with her twice now, but definitely looking forward. Would 100% recommend her
Sherrita asks the important questions, listens to your responses and somehow can tell when there's something you're not saying. I absolutely recommend consulting with her.
Ms. Ried's expertise in getting to underlying issues and ability to both listen and challenge thoughts in a balanced way are invaluable.
She is the best!
Sherrita makes content digestible and relatable. She is very intuitive with her ability to see the core of the issue and directly in addressing the issues in her planned sessions. The one improvement I would suggest would be to consider being observant with peoples reactions and emotions and making sure to give space and assist in addressing them during the sessions. The only other consideration is having longer sessions if needed, but we haven’t felt a need for it thus far.
I couldn’t be happier with my therapist. She is compassionate she is compassionate and attentive. She’s methodical and professional at every turn. I couldn’t be happier with being a sign to her I’ll give her a 10 out of 10 five stars and 100%.
Mrs Reid has been very helpful to us and immensely supported us through a terrible period. I recommend her 100%.
I have only had two sessions but she really listened to me and is very understanding and compassionate
My husband and I just started getting sessions with Mrs.Ried so I don’t have a ton of feedback, however, from what I have experienced I am very excited for what’s to come. My partner and I are giving our union another chance and Mrs. Ried has been leading us in the right direction so far.
