Therapists in Sasser, GA

EMDR Therapist Hello! My name is Cheryl and I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor with over 20 years of experience in the helping profession. I am also an ACE Certified Health Coach. The modality of therapy that I use is Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) which is a specialized, structured form of therapy that helps provide relief from trauma and difficult past situations that remain unresolved. EMDR therapy has significant scientific evidence to prove its effectiveness. A good candidate for this therapy is one who commits to weekly sessions, is not actively abusing any drugs or alcohol, and is not experiencing suicidal thoughts or have a history of suicide attempts. (Please note that those who do CAN benefit from EMDR in face-to-face sessions not virtual). I consider myself to be open, honest, and non-judgmental and believe that a sense of humor is an essential component of dealing with life’s challenges (and like to sprinkle a little of this into sessions every now and then!) I’m originally from Upstate New York and have lived in the Southeast the past 19 years. I have a Master’s Degree in Counseling from the State University of New York at Oneonta and have also received advanced training in health coaching, mindfulness, and EMDR I look forward to working with you!

Have you ever felt depressed, anxious, or not good enough? Do you ever wonder how to move past a traumatic incident from your past? I work with a variety of issues including depression, anxiety, PTSD, self-esteem, grief, and addictions. I am caring, empathic, and hope to help you become the best version of yourself, so that you can live your most fulfilling future! I use a variety of interventions including CBT, DBT, Person-centered focus, solution-based focus, and mindfulness. I decided to become a mental health counselor after becoming a law enforcement officer. I found that the mental health and addictions were not being properly addressed, and many “offenders” needed rehabilitation and therapy, not jail and prison. I have now worked in the mental health/addictions field since 2015. I love being able to help someone realize their full potential, become the best version of themselves, and lead a happy life. I an ally to the LGBTQIA+ community, and a judgement free zone. I base our sessions on your current issues at hand, and work with you to find what will best help you. *Please note* I do NOT list all of my available openings on my calendar. Please discuss dates/times with me to set a session.

Hello and thank you for reading! I have 5 years of clinical experience and have held internships at residential treatment centers for adolescents. I have worked extensively with individuals who have high-functioning autism, trauma, ADHD, anxiety, depression, bipolar, and post-partum depression. I provide a nonjudgmental and accepting environment for clients to feel safe as they tell their stories. I take a collaborative approach, understanding and recognizing that we must work together to accomplish your goals, offering support every step of the way.

I strive to create a comfortable and welcoming environment for each one of my clients, honoring self-determination and individuality.
