Sherry Lyn Kaplan

Thank you for taking the time to read about me! I'm a writer, psychotherapist, certified yoga instructor, artist, and aspiring author. While I am not currently taking on any private clients, my profession as a psychotherapist has had a profound impact on me, my writing, and the projects I am currently working on and plan to work on. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in the state of Texas. I earned my master's degree in counseling from the University of Houston - Victoria after obtaining a bachelor's degree in sociology, with minors in Spanish and Russian, from the University of Texas - San Antonio. I also earned my MFA in creative writing, and my thesis is my first novel. It is currently in the final stages of revision.

 

I am body positive, which means that I believe every single body, regardless of size, shape, gender, age, capabilities, or health status, is a wonderful body, and deserves love and appreciation. I truly enjoy assisting others learn how to love themselves and get the most out of their lives. While I've been doing so through therapy for nearly a decade, I'm currently working on expanding these efforts to help others through my writing. 

 

It was through my own journey from depression and self-hatred to happiness and self-love, I learned that embracing and loving myself exactly as I am allows me to be so much more compassionate, appreciative, and loving towards not only myself, but everyone I meet. I genuinely believe that each and every one of us is deserving of love and respect, and that we are all capable of leading a full and happy life, regardless of our circumstances. My dream is to offer people the types of books that I desperately needed before I learned how to love myself.
