Dr Sheri Ashcraft

Psychoanalyst

“Confidential, virtual/in-person, deeply and substantially impactful, psychoanalysis and psychoanalytic psychotherapy.”

About Me

I offer confidential psychoanalytic psychotherapy and psychoanalysis, guiding individuals through a deeply impactful process of self-discovery. This approach is ideal for those seeking a substantial understanding of their inner world and lasting personal change. We explore underlying patterns together, fostering profound insights. Sessions are available virtually or in person, providing flexibility to suit your needs. I create a safe space for deep reflection.

Approach

I invite a steady, exploratory rhythm where curiosity and careful attention guide each session, attending to feelings that show up in the room and between appointments. In Coral Gables and online, in English, sessions move at a reflective pace—sometimes gentle observation, sometimes tracking recurring expectations, defenses, or shame as they appear in relationships and life transitions. Between sessions I encourage noticing patterns and small experiments in everyday moments that inform our work. This way of working often fits people seeking profound self-understanding and longer-term change.
