William Alkhoury
I am a Meaning-Centered counselor in Phoenix, Arizona with over 8 years of experience working in behavioral health. Today, more people come into therapy expressing feelings of emptiness and wondering does life have any meaning? What really makes life worth living? Is it all just meaningless suffering? Meaning-Centered Therapy and Existential Analysis is a form of counseling for those who are searching for a sense of meaning in their lives. Through meaning-centered therapy and existential analysis, we can realize our unique, innate, and creative potentials, discover the meaning potentials in the world waiting for us, and create a life worth living. I am excited at the thought of both therapy and philosophy; I look forward to exploring fundamental questions about human nature, the meaning and purpose of human life, what we ought to do or strive for, and what we may hope to achieve or become. I look forward to working with you!

Cherie Felzer
Life is a journey of continually coming home to ourselves. Come home to yourself. to your soul. I have spent the last 20+ years working and playing with conscious personal growth, traversing pathways of dark and light, with 15+years of dance and movement meditation as my main spiritual practice. Throughout many years of traveling, I have learned so much from life, different cultures, and teachers of indigenous traditions, and finally, moved to the bay area in 2007 to pursue graduate studies in somatic counseling psychology, and complete licensure in Marriage and Family Therapy. Since moving to the bay area, I have deepened my relationships with movement, worked somatically with elders living with dementia, business and law students, women in recovery, war veterans, rites of passage with youth and in nature with children. It has been through these lenses that I learned the most about how to be with, accept, and move through stuckness, struggle, and transition. My personal experiences all inform me, offering a greater perspective, and are woven together with my training to create a truly unique practice for us to explore together the magic of the healing journey. I offer this wisdom and experience to you, from my own struggles, so that you know you don't have to do this alone. In a session, I will be your companion as we explore together the best way for you to move forward. I offer a calm, solid presence and reverence & joy for life, inviting and supporting you to be with and move through stuckness, struggle and chaos, inspiring and guiding you to listen to your body & connect to yourself, others & the earth so that you can find lightness, freedom, and aliveness, and help you live your purpose meaningfully in the world with integrity and authenticity! I am here to remind you of your deep connection to the earth, so that it may be a resource for you in times of need, holding you and guiding you, teaching you how to be gentle with yourself. It would be an honor to be a companion along your path. You have the map. I can help you read it.

Therapy with a licensed counselor is effective and has the power to change individuals' lives.

A psychologist can target various symptoms, experiences, and personalities to help you feel your best and put you on the path to healing.
