Sherri LaBarbera is an LPC-Associate under the supervision of Jennifer Smith, LPC-S. She is passionate about recovery, mental health, and helping others. Along with pointing straight to Jesus, she wants to give people the tools necessary to overcome the struggles in their lives. She specializes in addiction recovery, couples/family work, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. Sherri got into this type of work after retiring from public education with twenty-eight years of experience which included being a teacher, instructional specialist, counselor, and administrator. She previously worked in Mesquite ISD, Garland ISD, and has just recently stepped away from being the Director of Journey Groups which is the care, support, and recovery ministry at Community Life Church to pursue more counseling, speaking, writing, being a wife, mother, daughter, and taking care of her six precious grandchildren. They fondly call her Gigi, and that is by far her favorite role!
