Anxiety Therapists in North Hills, San Diego, CA

I believe that people want realistic, practical solutions from a therapist. I want for my clients to be empowered from the meetings, and to walk away with new insights and skills to address the real issues and problems in their lives. I practice a type of therapy called Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and believe that people grow in an environment that is active, productive, and motivation-based. You will learn how even small changes in our beliefs or habits lead to the most profound changes. Everyone is capable of learning new ways to grow and cope with difficult life experiences!

My name is Cheryl Perrell and I am a bilingual Spanish Speaking Licensed Clinical Social Worker. After completing my B.A. in Psychology and Social Behavior at UC Irvine, I attended Cal Sate Long Beach where I earned my Master's Degree in Social Work.

I provide a compassionate and dynamic approach to creating a healing and safe space by focusing on building trust in our therapeutic relationship.

Suffering from stress, depression, anxiety ? Feeling stuck in a harmful relationship? Are you grappling with your identity? Or just feeling overwhelmed? I would like to bring in the available resources within yourself for a lasting solution. My approach is adaptive to my clients' needs, with the objective of achieving long-term emotional, mental, and spiritual wellness. Some people benefit from talking, a reflection into who they really are, and others would like to explore and understand why, or to solve specific problems and achieve specific goals. And others wish to learn how to better communicate and be more assertive.

My specialties include working with individuals who struggle with trauma, maternal mental health, parenting challenges, work-life balance, women's wellness, partner relational problems, adjustment, anxiety , or depression. My personal and professional experience guide my therapeutic lens to meet individuals where they are - at that moment in their life journey - in addition to their "learned" history.

Searching for a space where you can just be you? Sometimes life can present challenges that make it hard for us to simply exist as who we are. As your therapist, I will provide a space that is both comforting and non-judgemental. Here we can work together to help you explore unique aspects of yourself that can help you address hardship, live as the fullest version of yourself and a life that feels satisfying for you. My approach to therapy is client-centered, compassionate, collaborative, curious and rooted in the idea that you have the capacity to re-story and improve the reality of your life.

Therapy is a space in which we get the opportunity to realize wholeness, identify the narratives and ideas that have kept us stuck and rewrite our unique life stories. Depression, anxiety , grief, trauma, life transitions and other emotional struggles can compromise our ability to live the way in which we want and impact the quality of our relationships, however, I deeply believe they are also powerful agents for change and transformation. As difficult as these experiences and symptoms often are, they afford us an invitation to discover, uncover and move beyond that which is causing our suffering.
