dr. Sherri Yoder
Founder & Executive Director
Dr. Sherri left her post as a Clinical Psychologist to serve as Founder and Executive Director of Thriving Thoughts Global. She strives to shift cultural narratives about mental health from reactive, treatment-driven and stigma-perpetuating messages to education and conversation that prioritizes proactive mental health care and mental ill-health prevention. Dr. Sherri believes that women, who are the chief influencers of their children, partners, friends, workplaces, and communities are the agents of change necessary to effect this critical shift in attitudes and approach toward mental health. In her own words, a woman who changes her world, changes the world.
Dr. Sherri is writer, host, and producer of her podcast, Thriving Thoughts with Dr. Sherri. She is a published author and virtual Thought Coach. She lives in the United States and is inspired daily by thriving life lessons from her two hounds, Leia and Luka.
