About Sheryl Adams

Honoring your story, one chapter at a time.

I believe every person carries within them the strength and wisdom to navigate even the most difficult seasons of life. My role is to walk alongside you — not to fix you, but to help you find your own way forward.

Sheryl Adams, MSW, LICSW — counselor in Gig Harbor, WA

My background

I'm Sheryl Adams, a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) with a Master of Social Work (MSW) and over 17 years of experience in the field. I've worked with individuals, couples, and families across a wide range of life challenges — from postpartum depression and perinatal mental health to grief, trauma, anxiety, and major life transitions.

"I want to honor the story of your life and help you write the next chapter."

My approach is strengths-based and collaborative. I draw from evidence-based modalities including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness-based practices, and trauma-informed care. I tailor each session to the individual, because no two people — and no two journeys — are the same.
