“If you want to change the world, start with You!”
– Dr Pam Turner
Sherry Bougard earned a Bachelor of Arts and a Minor in Religion from Lane College. Her master's degree in social work and certification in school social work from the University of Tennessee Knoxville were followed by becoming a Licensed Master Social Worker superseded by a Licensed Advanced Practice Social Worker. Later, Ms. Bougard became a certified life coach from the Life Coach School of Arkansas and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker.
Ms. Bougard has over 20 years of experience serving as an advocate for the vulnerable population and those facing a crisis. Sherry's main focus is conducting educational, life skills workshops that facilitate changing one's thinking towards a healthier lifestyle. Also, she works as a pre-screening agent for the state of Tennessee and a crisis counselor for those trying to harm themselves or others. Her additional areas of expertise include alcohol and drugs, hospice, child welfare, substitute teaching, and serving people living with HIV/AIDS.
Aside from being a change agent, Sherry Bougard is the founder of the nonprofit Bee TrU Awareness Outreach, Inc., Become Greater Life Coaching Service, and Bee Simple Parties (a business that provides services for any celebration) . Additionally, she is a motivational public speaker and the creator of "Unlearn Learn Behavior," a curriculum that assists people in learning about themselves and building on their strengths.Following a consultation, Sherry works with each student to ensure they understand each lesson by involving effective and honest communication, as well as using the teach back method to ensure they understand.
I keep notes for each student and review them before each meeting. Also following each session notes taken are reviewed that allow Sherry to tailor homework assignments to areas more so where a student did not do well but also to areas where a student excelled in. Lastly I keep the client engaged with back and forth dialogue throughout the session. I'm just the coach, my students are the players who I count on to win the game (pass the exam) even if it's by one point.
Sherry’s MOTTO is "you must Be (Bee) TrU to yourself before you can be (Bee) TrU to others." Sherry is a motivational speaker who encourages others to reach their goal(s). To witness a smile, hear a person speak with confidence, or watch a person grow each session makes Sherry glow.
Clear your mind when preparing for your exam, study to learn and practice the way that you will eventually play.
As Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 6 years of post-graduate clinical and leadership experience, I offer personalized guidance and support by tailoring coaching sessions, study strategies, and resources to help individuals prepare for licensure exams with confidence in critical thinking and competence areas. Whether you’re preparing for the Bachelor’s, Master’s, Clinical, Law & Ethics or other licensure exams, I’m here to help you reach your goals and advance your career in mental health.
I offer personalized coaching sessions, tailored to individual strengths and learning styles, fostering collaboration and empowerment. Grounded in evidence-based techniques and practical application, my philosophy emphasizes continuous feedback to empower self-efficacy and professional competence in mental health professionals.
I personalize coaching to individual needs by tailoring coaching sessions to suit individual strengths and learning preferences, I incorporate visual aids and reinforcements and emphasize on ongoing self-reflection and emotional processing to help manage test-related anxieties or nervousness.
It is with great pleasure to coach clients to grow authentically as mental health professionals in preparation for licensure, witnessing their resilience and transformation into change agents in our field. It’s fulfilling to contribute to shaping mental health professionals who not only excel in their work but also as advocates for ethical best practices, reducing burnout, compassion fatigue, and promoting professional retention in the field.
To excel in exam preparation, I highly recommend clients to recognize their learning style and leverage professional experiences to reinforce material topics, ensuring a personalized and effective study approach tailored to your strengths and preferences.
I have been married to my wonderful husband for almost 2 years and we are the parents of two dogs (Nico and Kway Kelley). I currently work as an Adult & Play Therapist trained in EMDR at a private practice in the Houston area. I also get to use my gifts of administration as an Executive Administrator for local churches in the Houston area.
I always remember that learning is contagious as we work together each week, what we surround ourselves with, we soon begin to learn to think and become all the pieces we hold inside to excel where we are going.
I believe we are created to never do life alone so what you can expect coaching with myself is doing life with whichever test together, however long we will go through the emotions, content, and thoughts together.
I strive to let all I do be done in love!!! When you learn, witness, or connect to people who operate out of genuine care and love, everything you receive and see will get you to the next level.
“Believe You Are, Affirm Your Belief, and Stay in the NOW!”
