about Shaghayegh
Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist
There are certain events in our lives that are undisputedly life changing: marriage, divorce, a move, a job change, birth of a child, the loss of a loved one. Yet for most of us, transformation does not happen overnight, or a single blinding flash of awareness, but rather in small, daily increments over time. It is something we choose, not something that happens to us. Perhaps the most transformative choice we can make is to prioritize self care. The practice of self care nurtures every aspect of who we are from our physical health and spiritual well being to our mental health.
In my journey as a therapist, the more I talk to people the more it’s clear that below the surface of our very different appearances, lifestyles, and interests lie the universal desire to stay well and find some kind of inner peace. We all want to be rested and restored and reconnect with life. We want to learn how to live a balanced life and be less susceptible to stress and sickness and to have health and peace of mind.
My name is Shaghayegh (Sheri) Ameri. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, EMDR Trained Therapist and Supervisor. I studied psychology at San Diego State University and received my Masters in Marriage Family Therapy from National University. I have several years of experience working with children, teens, adults, couples and families in a variety of treatment settings addressing and treating Depression, Anxiety, Panic Disorders, PTSD, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, ADHD, Personality Disorders. I am trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) for individuals needing specialized trauma work. I also enjoy working with relational issues amongst couples and families and I have had the privilege to be trained in Gottman Couples Therapy which is the only evidence-based form of couples therapy currently available. My experience working with children in foster system, offered me a better understanding of how to help children cope with past trauma and teach parents/caretakers about the effect of trauma on children. I find it very rewarding to witness many individuals I worked with learn and practice to live a more healthy, balanced and mindful life. I have always believed in creating an authentic environment in which we work collaboratively together to achieve a well balanced life. I congratulate you for taking this step to show up for you life and welcome you to begin this journey with me!
Please call (619) 330-9500 or email intake@goodtherapysandiego.com to get scheduled with me or another therapist at GTSD!

"SHERI IS MY HERO! Literally changed my life within 2 months. She is a true talent and I wish everyone in the world could experience her care. It doesn't matter who you are or what you're going through - she will support you in the most sincere, intelligent, and lifting way. I leave every session feeling lighter and proud of myself for my progress that thus far in my life, has only been possible under her guidance. She is such a professional but also kind, warm and friendly. Cherry on top: she has the cutest little doggo!!! RUN don't walk to get on her schedule!! THANK YOU SHERI!! We all deserve Sheripy!!!"

"I've been seeing Sheri since the beginning of January and she has already made a profound difference in my life. She has helped immensely with my relationship and my own mental health. She's very supportive and is always available if I need something. She is very easy to open up to and has offered me and my bf great insight into our relationship."

"Sheri Ameri has been really helpful in empowering me to overcome some relationship challenges. She is very easy to talk to and asks great questions so that I can better understand the communication and behavior of myself and others."
KB
"Sheri makes me feel so comfortable and supported in every session. She has been patient with me, as my anxiety is relentless & helping me address the root cause is extremely challenging for me... She is so helpful in explaining the bigger picture and helping me understand why Im experiencing specific challenges. I never want my sessions to end, and I'm hopeful every week when our session is coming up. I'm confident in My own growth and healing because of Sheri. I can't recommend her enough."
