Hi. I'm Cheryl. I'm a Christian Counselor. I love helping people feel better! I love when my clients tell me "hey, that worked!" or "I am getting along much better with XYZ" or even "I'm feeling much better." I specialize in integrating the Christian faith with secular counseling approaches, which I feel makes me unique in the counseling field. I believe my approach gives my clients the best chance for success, change, and improved quality of life. I list cognitive behavioral therapy as my main approach, but I believe it is the relationship between client and therapist that is the most important factor in counseling.

I offer tailor made counseling services, including therapy, psychedelic integration and coaching, to those experiencing life's difficulties. My compassionate and non-judgmental approach is predicated on offering helpful direction towards specific, realistic, client determined goals. I am very comfortable working with individuals or couples of all ages, veterans and business executives. My approaches based on individual client expectations and needs. Each approach is customized and personal. Phone and video and sessions are available for added convenience. I offer a Christian worldview approach upon request.

I am a licensed therapist with a specific specialty, expertise, knowledge, and experience in addictions and dependency. While this is a specific focus, I recognize and understand the many facets of an individual as a whole and address the importance of mental and physical health, finances, legal issues, career, and interpersonal relationships toward recovery and well-being.

We are a therapy practice of experienced clinicians who specialize in working with disordered eating, food, weight, and body image struggles, perinatal and postpartum challenges, relationship difficulties, and women's issues. We recognize the complexity of various stressors facing individuals in these challenging times and we welcome those who are new to the therapy experience as well as those who are seeking a new therapy process. Our therapists are trained in evidence-based modalities but put you and your needs first, when determining the best treatment approach. Most important is listening to you and establishing a safe environment for a healing relationship to develop.

Are you frustrated, disengaged or anxious about life problems or school? I support healing by fostering healthy relationship. I found that clients that value a psychobiological approach to therapy tend to be drawn to me, especially if they are working through a transition such as relocation, divorce, life change, or relationship change. That approach includes physical, psychological, social and cultural domains. My greatest passion is to restore balance and bring relief. My work with clients revolves around supporting them to prioritize their needs, as well as to identify coping mechanisms and resources available to them.

I enjoy working with people who seek to discover new ways of moving through life. Sometimes this means working together to uncover new strategies for managing painful thoughts, memories and emotions. It may also involve identifying problematic patterns of behavior and exploring more adaptive coping strategies. I also enjoy working with people who wish to improve their navigation of various types of relationships including romantic, family, professional and peer relationships. Additionally, I also like helping people uncover new meaning and purpose in life.

I've always wanted to incorporate animals into therapeutic activities. My family has 4 dogs and 2 cats, all rescues. I volunteer at APS of Durham and excited about bringing my love for counseling and animals together. Animal assisted therapy is generally with the therapist's personal animal, but we can meet in your home and have your pet with you if that's more comfortable. If you're considering adoption, I'd love to help you find your perfect SoulMutt. I see clients in their home but can accommodate in my home office in SW Durham...it's your time and we can decide what works best for you. http://www.SoulMuttsTherapy.org

Every child needs a nurturing environment that allows them to grow into productive adults; however, from childhood into adulthood there are times that adversity presents itself. The road can become rocky and sometimes stop with no apparent direction in which to travel. When the road is too bumpy and travel is difficult, a therapist can help by serving as guide and aid and walk with you until the road is safe again to travel on your own. I look forward to being apart of your journey.

Things are hard right now. You're here because you want things to be different and don't quite know how to make that happen. I want to help you feel hopeful, powerful, and in control of your life.

I will help you learn and cope with difficult, intense emotions, grief, mood symptoms, and ineffective behaviors through warmth, acceptance, and gentle nudging towards change.

If you are reading this, I first want you to sit back and allow yourself to be proud--you are taking steps towards your freedom, and that is no easy feat. My goal is to help you find freedom from whatever has you bound. Healing can be messy, but I am here to sit in the messy with you. In my practice, I am not the one doing the healing work; instead, I want to empower you with the tools that you need to heal yourself. I am deeply committed to sitting in the deepest depths with you for as long as it takes you to wrestle towards your freedom and wholeness because you are worth a life that you love.

Therapy is an opportunity to help people diminish pain and suffering, cope with the challenges of life, and gain support through fear and loss. I hope to bring compassion and attentiveness that creates space for healing. I have twelve years of experience in a variety of therapeutic settings including distance therapy. I am passionate about helping you find your identity and self-worth so you'll be able to succeed in every aspect of your life. I am LGBTQ affirming and open to all faiths. Ultimately, I hope to help you identify the hope and strength already within you.

My hope is to offer a warm and open environment where we can better understand you, your relationships, and your life challenges. We all feel stuck at times, and I am glad you are reaching out for support. I want to walk beside you as you cope with a difficult career, go through a major life change, or have relationship issues. You do not have to face this alone. Together we can find ways to cope and move forward that will leave you feeling more fulfilled. I would be honored to be a part of your healing process.
