Sherry Kay Fulmer (she/her)

I am currently in the process of becoming a Registered Play Therapist. I have completed all coursework in this process, and have additional training in working with children and adolescents with anxiety and trauma. I believe in the power of play. Play is how children (and adults who allow themself the joy of playing) to process what they are experiencing. It is a way to explore and create and learn. I incorporate play into my work with adults (who are willing) as well.

As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, I have extensive training systems theory and working with complex relationships. This assists me in joining family systems, learning their ways, and helping identify new avenues for growth and change. Each family system is unique, so I spend ample time learning where a family is and what factors are impacting the family system. My understanding of systems theory enables me to effectively enact change within the system.

EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) is a trauma-focused therapy that helps the brain reprocess distressing memories so they no longer feel overwhelming. It’s a structured, evidence-based approach that supports healing from trauma, anxiety, and other emotional difficulties—without needing to talk through every detail.

Play therapy is a developmentally appropriate approach that helps children express thoughts and emotions through play—their natural language. Using toys, art, and creative activities, therapy provides a safe space for children to process feelings, build coping skills, and work through challenges in a way that makes sense to them.

Family therapy is a type of counseling that involves two or more family members working together with a licensed therapist to improve communication, resolve conflicts, and strengthen relationships. The focus is on understanding each person’s perspective and creating healthier patterns of connection and support. Families are complex, and when one person is struggling—whether it’s a child, teen, or adult—it can affect the entire system. Family therapy helps uncover how these patterns are showing

I specialize in working with individuals who have experienced trauma, including childhood trauma, relationship trauma, medical trauma, grief, and symptoms of PTSD. You may be struggling with anxiety, hypervigilance, nightmares, emotional overwhelm, avoidance, or feeling disconnected from yourself or others. Together, we focus on building coping skills, increasing emotional regulation, and processing experiences in a way that promotes healing, resilience, and renewed confidence.
