How We Feel, in Practice
We’re heading to APA 2026 and celebrating the practitioners who bring How We Feel into their work.
Later this week, How We Feel is heading to Washington, D.C., for APA 2026.
From August 6–8, psychologists, counselors, researchers, students, and others working across the field will come together for the American Psychological Association’s annual convention. We’ll be there as an exhibitor, sharing How We Feel and learning from the people helping others better understand and care for their emotional wellbeing.
Care practitioners can bring How We Feel into conversations with the people they support. A simple check-in can become a way to find more precise language, a starting point for reflection, or an opportunity to notice something that might otherwise be missed.
Come find us at APA 2026
We’ll be exhibiting in the APA Solutions Center at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center throughout the event.
Our booth location is marked below:
At the booth, you can explore the app, meet the How We Feel team, and learn more about our Care Practitioner Network.
We’re also planning to have a limited number of How We Feel totes available for care practitioners who join the network at the event, while supplies last.
Meet Victoria Sherk
Victoria Sherk is a licensed professional counselor based in Washington, D.C., and a member of the How We Feel Care Practitioner Network. With more than two decades in the field, Victoria works with individuals and couples navigating life transitions, relationship challenges, trauma, anxiety, grief, and other difficult experiences.
In 2017, she was appointed to the DC Board of Professional Counseling and became its chair in 2021. Through that work, she has served fellow clinicians and residents of the District.
Her approach draws on cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness. She sees therapy as a partnership, with clients remaining the experts on their own lives.
In the spotlight below, Victoria shares more about her work and her experience using How We Feel.
We’re grateful to Victoria for sharing her perspective and for being part of this growing community of care practitioners.
See you there
APA gives us an opportunity to continue these conversations in person and learn from more of the people doing this work every day.
If you’ll be in Washington, D.C., from August 6–8, come say hello at booth 542. And if someone in your network plans to attend, we’d be grateful if you shared this post and sent them our way.
We hope to see you there.

I am so excited to see this! I just used How We Feel, being introduced to it by my daughter and her boyfriend. Thank you, thank you! I share it with clients and friends and family now!
