Hi, I'm Sheri Stahl RN, BSCN, MA, RCC

Thank you for having the courage to be here. You may be wondering who I am and if my approach aligns with your needs and vision for therapy. I am the Owner and Director of Amethyst Therapy Inc.

My Journey to Therapy

My career in the helping profession began in 2012 when I graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Nursing. My focus as a new grad was in nephrology and the complexity of chronic disease. It became clear to me that chronic disease and mental health co-exist, and my passion shifted towards mental health.

My Approach to Care

Many people who are seeking mental health support have experienced trauma, intergenerational trauma, chronic pain, and/or chronic disease.

After working in various community mental health and addictions roles, I began to evaluate my experience within the healthcare system and the ways in which we help people. I was able to see firsthand the limitations of solution-focused and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), and I wanted to be able to help people on a deeper level. This led me to pursue a Masters of Counselling Psychology.

My Passion for EMDR

While studying, I developed a passion for EMDR. This approach allows me to address trauma on a deeper level and help clients achieve lasting changes and symptom reduction. The benefits of EMDR extend beyond PTSD and trauma—check out the About EMDR page to learn more.

A Bit About Me

Outside of my professional role, I am:

  • A cisgendered (She/Her) and a status First Nations woman from the Stó:lō Nation. I was born and raised in Williams Lake and feel proud to share the beauty of the Cariboo with my family.

  • I love this community and enjoy camping with my husband and our three children, chasing our chickens, hiking with the dogs, and reading.

  • I celebrate and encourage diversity, and welcome members of the LGBTQIA2S communities.
