About Sheri Bassewitz

Sheri Bassewitz is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 35 years of experience across a range of care settings. Early in her career she spent 15 years working in hospice, oncology, and home care agencies, providing support to individuals and families facing serious illness and end-of-life concerns.

She then transitioned into school-based work, where she served students and school communities for another 15 years after becoming certified to work in educational settings. In the most recent five years before private practice, she worked directly with children, adolescents, and families in a clinical setting, addressing emotional and social challenges that affect daily functioning.

Beyond formal employment, Sheri has supported children in camp environments, including a program focused on speech, language, and social-emotional learning, and she volunteered for several summers at The Hole in the Wall Gang Camp in Connecticut for children with serious illnesses. She has also supervised social workers pursuing licensure, contributing to the development of other professionals.

Now practicing privately, Sheri applies her long experience to help children, adolescents, and adults manage anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and social communication challenges, including ASD and ADHD. Her work emphasizes practical tools and coping strategies to address stressors and daily challenges while helping clients identify and pursue their own goals.
