See Sherry's Details for:
Sherry Gillmore is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist based in Larkspur and San Francisco, California, working with adults in individual and couples therapy. Her practice is especially suited for clients and couples who have had prior therapy and are seeking deeper, more meaningful change.
Many of Sherry’s clients are insightful and motivated but find themselves stuck in recurring patterns—such as conflict in relationships, emotional disconnection, people-pleasing, or reliance on substances to cope. While they may already have tools from past therapy, they are often ready to explore the root causes of these patterns on a deeper level.
Her work is grounded in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), an evidence-based approach that helps individuals and couples understand the emotional and attachment dynamics driving their experiences. In couples therapy, Sherry supports partners in identifying negative cycles, accessing underlying emotions, and building more secure, connected relationships. In individual therapy, she helps clients explore core emotional patterns, reduce shame, and develop a stronger sense of self.
She also integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and mindfulness-based approaches to support emotional regulation and lasting change.
Sherry has experience working with addiction, codependency, and shame, and brings both professional expertise and a compassionate, nonjudgmental presence to her work. Her approach is collaborative, depth-oriented, and focused on helping clients create more fulfilling and connected lives.
