One of the best things about coming to therapy is the amount of courage it took for you to get here. You know what you want out of life and you know when you are not getting it. There is nothing I dislike more than to see human suffering. I have gone through my own and was determined to not let it ruin my life. Sometimes all it takes is for you to feel heard, understood, and feel validated. Therapy is a collaboration between client and therapist and together we will focus on your strengths and help you understand your worthiness was never in question. Other times you may require more skills and techniques to learn in order to overcome your concerns and issues. My primary focus is anxiety, depression, self esteem, phobias, fears, women's issues, OCD symptoms, and finding meaning to life and answer questions like, why am I here? I also volunteered at a Hospice and did my internship there and have knowledge in grief and bereavement. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and a Nationally Certified Counselor and received my Bachelor of Arts through Ashford University and Masters in Science in Clinical Counseling from Bellevue University. I have over 7 years experience working with people from 4 through 89 years of age. These people have taught me so much and I am blessed to do the work I do. I am very much a believer in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as I know the way we think has a direct impact on the way we feel. I also utilize a Person Centered approach, meaning I follow my client's lead and the direction they wish to take. The great thing is, is that there are so many different sets of skills and interventions to use, you will find the ones that work best for you. It all depends on each individual's specific needs.

Welcome to BetterHelp! Reaching out for help is often the first and most difficult step to initiating change in our lives, so you should know that I'm glad you are here. I'm Cheryl, a licensed clinical social worker in Pennsylvania with more than 20 years experience. I've worked with clients who struggle with a wide range of challenges, including anxiety, depression, substance abuse, relationship issues, grief, trauma, and life transitions. I believe there isn't a one size fits all approach as far as treatment modalities go. The therapeutic relationship, in my opinion, is about feeling safe, comfortable, and connected. I care about my clients, and I pride myself on making the "uncomfortable comfortable." Our time together will be focused on personal growth and working to help you develop the tools to find a place of peace and balance. *Certified Clinical Telemental Health Provider *Certified Clinical Anxiety Treatment Professional

Hello and welcome to Betterhelp! I know seeking additional support can be intimidating initially. I hope if you chose to work with me, I will be able to meet you where you are and provide reassurance and support as we go through this process. Allow me to introduce myself to you. I have been working within the field of social work for 13 years with populations ranging from infancy to late adulthood. Upon completion of my graduate program in 2015, I geared my focus to outpatient adult individual/group/family mental health counseling. I have and continue to work alongside those who are experiencing significant life changes, depression and anxiety. I have also supported survivors of trauma (domestic violence) and those who are experiencing grief and loss of any kind. It is my hope to provide you with a non-judgmental, safe place for you to explore challenges, strengths, and your goals. When we work together, we will explore the most suitable therapeutic approach based on your specific needs/desires for treatment. A few treatment modalities I utilize include solution-focused, cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, and mindfulness. On this platform, I am happy to interact within all methods offered on the platform, that you find comfort in-phone, text, and live chat My availability is limited and sessions will be scheduled with messaging.
