 Dr.
Karen Sherman, a NYS licensed psychologist, has been
in private practice for over 20 years. Now, Dr. Sherman
is taking her experience to the public, making her Art of Choice workshops and seminars available to
groups and organizations rather than just to private
clients. Additionally, she teaches individually designed
adult education courses, catering to the specific interests
and learning styles of the people who seek her expertise.
Dr. Sherman moved into motivational psychology and
marriage counseling from her own troubled past. As someone
who grew up under difficult circumstances, Dr. Sherman
developed a keen awareness of others’ problems.
Drawing on personal experience as well as academic training,
she relates to a much broader arc of life situations
than most.
“For many years, my life was an emotional roller
coaster,” Dr. Sherman says. “Growing up,
I was exposed to horribly negative life situations,
and as an adult, it seemed that I was a slave to them.”
It was upon realizing that she was still reacting to
her earlier experiences that the first inkling of what
would become the Art of Choice appealed to
her, allowing her to change her circumstances, and directing
the rest of her professional life. Speaking of her transition,
Dr. Sherman recalls, “I realized that I no longer
wanted my past to define who I was. That was a choice
I could make, and I did. My past no longer haunts me;
in fact, I am thankful for what I experienced since
I have used each situation to help me to grow. It is
from my journey that I know that you, too, can choose
not merely to react to all the things that happen around
you- whether they trigger something from your past or
are things that are happening today- but to make powerful
choices.” Dr. Sherman sees her role as a facilitator
of those difficult choices. Her mission is to assist
others in freeing themselves from their own past cycles
of behavior, as she freed herself.
 Dr.
Sherman has a strong commitment to the growth of her
clients, and to that end she continuously seeks to grow
professionally herself, assimilating what she learns
from her studies, master classes, and seminars into
her own array of workshops and lectures. As a result,
the Art of Choice is a living, evolving organism
that grows with the experience of both Dr. Sherman and
those with whom she works.
Dr. Sherman is also an expert in relationship counseling
and an author on the topic. Her recent book, Marriage
Magic! Find It, Keep It, Make It Last, co-authored
with communications expert Dale Klein, is a compendium
of wisdom earned through both her professional and personal
experiences.
Dr. Sherman is frequently interviewed as an expert
by the news media for human-interest stories. She also
serves on the faculties of two colleges on Long Island,
New York, where she resides with her husband and two
daughters.
