Hi there!
I'm Samantha, owner and clinician behind Ceremonial Counseling. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) located in San Antonio dedicated to serving teens and adults in their healing journey towards a more fulfilling and empowering life.
About Samantha Sherrill, MS, LPC
I am proudly born and raised in San Antonio, and I absolutely love that I get to do this kind of work in a community so dear to my heart. My favorite part of being a counselor has to be the big smiles or tears of joy when a client has made a breakthrough. My background started in getting my B.S. in Psychology at Texas A&M University in College Station. I immediately knew that I wanted to pursue counseling, so I continued my education with an M.S. degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from UTSA. Since then, I have experience working in two different non-profits for community mental health and grief groups as well as 4 years at a group private practice.
I have worked with all populations, but have a passion in providing therapy for women who are navigating all of the challenges that come with entering motherhood. I have training through Postpartum Support International (PSI) and am in the process of becoming certified in Perinatal Mental Health (PMH-C). Other treatment areas include working with high-achieving adults struggling with the anxiety that comes with high expectations or perfectionism in addition to supporting individuals navigating loss or grief.
In my free time, I love to travel, spend time outdoors, listen to live music, and try out new restaurants in town. My husband and I recently welcomed a baby boy into our family and are owners to 2 rescue dogs named Luca & Grinch. My favorite band is Florence + The Machine, which is where the inspiration behind my business name originated from. Thank you for stopping by, and I look forward to getting to know you!
