Transpersonal Relationship Growth was founded by myself, Dr Cheryl Demalignon in 1987. I have been helping individuals, couples and families to better their relationships by having them improve their personal identity and increase their self esteem. We attract those relationships with others that mirror our love or dislike for ourselves. The quality of your life, the things you chose to do that provide growth and meaningfulness determine the degree of harmonious interpersonal connections you establish with others.

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.

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.

I think we all can have a time in our lives where we reach a problem or a series of problems and are faced with the question of "how do I get through this?" or "what should I do?" Regardless of what brought you to that crossroad, therapy is a useful means to help you figure out what to do next. Your time is important and your life is meant to be full of happiness. We all are transitioning from something and have to make the choice about what is best for us. Live your life and enjoy it.

You might be feeling stuck in your relationships. You’re struggling to be vulnerable and fully present with not only loved ones, but with yourself.

You know it's time to do the deep work and cultivate the self-acceptance and relationships you long for.

I believe that all people have an innate healing capacity and through compassion, we can navigate to the other side of shame. I have worked extensively with issues of childhood and adult traumas and how these painful experiences have affected how we relate to ourselves and others.

I am especially passionate about working with people who are open and willing to do deep work & interested in somatic approaches. I also enjoy working with those who are interested in using therapy to explore topics like having a life of meaning and spirituality.

Changing the way you see yourself and your struggles can change everything. I am currently seeing adults and teens with plans to reopen the physical office by summer 2023
