About Bert Sheckler-Smith

Whether you are looking for a therapist for the first time, or looking for the right therapist this time, I have the clinical skills and compassionate understanding that you need to solve your emotional and behavioral problems.

Over the past 20 years I have developed an extensive “toolbox” of therapeutic methods which I choose from to skillfully help you: the right method at the right time for the right problems. These methods include: EMDR, cognitive behavioral, EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique), guided imagery, solution focused, CES, play therapy, sandtray therapy, and Triple P parenting training.

I use these methods with a caring, clear and calm presence, a deep understanding of your unique situation, and a collaborative approach to solving your problems. Together we can build on your strengths to meet your goals for a better life.
