About me

Sheri Hamilton is a Licensed Professional Counselor Intern (LPCintern) at OHSU Avel Gordly Center for Healing. She provides culturally-responsive services to African-American clients seeking mental health treatment. She takes a holistic (mind and body) approach in mental health care as she helps clients define goals, plan of action and gain insight regarding their strengths and possible barriers that could interupt the client's path to wellness. In her clinical practice although Sheri uses an eclectic approach of therapy with her clients, she specializes in cognitive behavior therapy (CBT) as she helps clients identify and evaluate their automatic thoughts, to correct their thinking to closely resemble reality. Cognitive behavior therapy informs the client to challenge and modify their old thinking patterns to create a newer way of thinking that decreases distress and promotes healthier thinking.

Outside her clinical duties Sheri enjoys reading, jazz music, movies, outdoors at the beach, travelling and spending quaility time with her 11 grandchildren.

Insurance

Before scheduling an appointment

  1. Check your network. If you have health insurance,  call your company to find out if the OHSU Health location or provider you plan to visit is part of your network.
  2. Ask what you will pay. Your insurance company can tell you what your costs are likely to be.

If you schedule an appointment and your health insurance does not include OHSU Health, you may have to pay more than if you go to a provider in your insurance network.
