Real People. Real Therapy. Real Growth.

Even when life feels overwhelming, and worry takes over, you deserve a space to pause, breathe, and reconnect with your best self.

I’m Tera Sherman, and I’m honored to offer warm, engaging therapy for clients of all ages in person in Southwest Florida or online throughout Florida. My approach blends empathy with gentle challenges, helping you shift your mindset while celebrating your unique strengths. Therapy can be tough work, but we’ll share laughs and build connection along the way.

If you’re in Florida and ready to explore therapy with someone who truly listens, let’s start with a free intro call. You’ll find a safe, supportive space here where your feelings are heard, your growth is honored, and your resilience can rise.

Because everyone deserves to live the good life, and that includes you.

Are you tired of feeling overwhelmed, irritable and stuck?

Welcome to Rise Therapy SWFL, where we learn tools to rise above life’s challenges.

I offer individual and family therapy sessions for children & women in Fort Myers and virtually throughout the state of Florida.

How We Can Work Together

Overcoming Overthinking Mini Course

This course is your guide to breaking free from constant overthinking. Learn practical tips and tricks to quiet your mind, feel more calm and confident, and regain control over your thoughts. You do not have to live in Florida to benefit from this course as it is not considered ‘therapy’.
