Simon Sherry

Dr. Simon Sherry and his research team in the Department of Psychology and Neuroscience at Dalhousie University are responsible for making critical advancements in our understanding of the link between personality and mental health; in particular, they have clarified the contribution of perfectionism to depression, anxiety, eating disorders, relationship problems, and suicide. Dr. Sherry also researches alcohol problems. He has published 170 scientific articles and earned more than $2.5 million in grant funds.

Wanting to directly help more people, in 2018, Dr. Sherry and his wife founded CRUX Psychology,* a team of 55 psychologists. CRUX provides high-quality, evidence-based individual therapy, couples therapy, family therapy, and assessment. Therapy and assessment are available online and in person.

Dr. Sherry is also a strong advocate for the science and practice of psychology. He regularly works with the media as part of his goal to educate the public about mental health problems in a scientific, non-sensationalized way.
