My focus is on the authentic self and the healing of trauma and grief.

Are you struggling with relationships, self-worth, boundaries, chronic health issues, motivation, purpose, anxiety, or depression? Do you long to deeply understand yourself so you can live a more connected and fulfilling life? Would you like to feel more loving and accepting of yourself, including parts of yourself you've rejected or felt shame about? I offer an empowering therapeutic process that helps you find more of your own inner wisdom and self-love. With compassion and acceptance we will explore the ways that your beliefs, old survival strategies, and unresolved emotions block you from what you most deeply desire.

Therapy is a collaborative journey of self-discovery that offers a connection with someone who is present with you, listens to your needs, and can help you develop tools to improve the way you live, cope, heal, and grow.

Greetings! I'm Chera, and I have focused the scope of my private practice on three very specialized (and desperately underserved) groups at high risk of suicidality within our community. Since grad school in 2011, I have been treating people with gender dysphoria, in 2016 I began helping our veterans/military with PsychArmor training, and recently I earned my certification as a first responder counselor and peer support team leader/trainer to provide crisis, cumulative trauma, and emotional agility training for our first responders.

As a therapist with 40 years of experience, I've helped hundreds of people overcome their challenges. Whether it's anxiety, depression, relationship conflict, difficulty finding the right life partner, or loss and grief resulting from a separation or death, I have the counseling skills and experience to help you solve your problems. You don't have to feel stressed from repeating old patterns that no longer work. Counseling with me can bring more joy and fulfillment into your life. I'm also specialized in and love working with couples. In addition I am trained in EMDR, a protocol for resolving trauma.

You have hopes and desires but feel a lack of motivation, energy, purpose or interest. The things that once brought you relief or joy no longer do or have become the problem. The world no longer feels like a safe place. You know that getting support would be helpful but where do you begin and how do you trust a stranger. You long to find support from a caring, compassionate person to help you learn self acceptance, develop resilience and move forward in your life. For there to be peace on Earth, we must each find peace within. I especially enjoy working with young adults, HSPs, "late bloomers" and creative artists.

Are you struggling with obsessive, intrusive, or disturbing thoughts that seem stuck or looping in your head? Do you find yourself compulsively arguing with "yourself" or doing repetitive behaviors in an urgent effort to bring down your anxiety? Are you beating yourself up for thinking these kinds of thoughts? Often intrusive thoughts can be very scary, violent, and go against the very things you value and hold dear. Sometimes it's very challenging to even say these thoughts out loud! I offer you a safe, confidential, and non-judgmental space to share what is burdening you. I'll teach you to conquer the OCD bully.

Vulnerability is the foundation of human interactions and relationships. Let me help you become comfortable with your vulnerabilities in a compassionate and non-judgmental therapeutic environment. Finding a sense of love and belonging can help us build relationships when we dare to be imperfect. My ideal client is one who is motivated, open, and willing to commit to the therapeutic process to gain personal insight and reduce current symptoms that are negatively impacting their functioning. Allow me to partner with you and help you understand that you are worthy of connection, love, and belonging.

I am currently seeing new clients with-in one week, I have flexible scheduling including evenings. Clients who work with me want a better understanding of themselves in order to improve their well-being and feel more at home in their lives. I am passionate about supporting people in their journeys of self exploration and healing because we all deserve to thrive, not just survive. The first step to thriving is curiosity, and by looking for a therapist, you are already showing how powerful curiosity can be when seeking to make changes in our lives, no matter what those changes are.

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I help adults in NY, OR, CT, and FL who are struggling with depression, anxiety, relationships, and life transitions.

When working with clients I prioritize the therapeutic relationship. We become a team working toward your goals, and I place significant value on honesty, authenticity, humor, compassion, validation, and accountability into our work together. Since starting my counseling practice I have worked with people of all ages and backgrounds experiencing various challenges including but not limited to anxiety, depression, OCD, trauma, gender dysphoria, grief, interpersonal issues, life transitions, adoption, self-esteem, bipolar II disorder, and more.

I work with individuals and couples who are experiencing difficult life transitions by helping them to turn their challenges into sources of individual growth and strength. I use a Psychodynamic/Integrative approach, utilizing Mindfulness, Cognitive therapies, Imaginal/Dreamwork, and EMDR. My areas of focus include Grief and Loss, Depression, Anxiety, Panic disorders and Midlife Transitions. I also have specific experience with Cult Recovery and Spiritual Crisis issues. I offer online and phone sessions for anyone who would like to work with me from their home, and have found this to be an extremely beneficial platform for therapy.

I can help you. I can show you new coping skills so you may develop a greater confidence in yourself.

I am empathic and I have worked in a variety of clinical settings from a community mental health to a military hospital, from drug and alcohol counseling to a rape crisis center.

Oh, the places and ways we get stuck! Trauma can make life feel unbearable. Doubt and fear can trip us up in our most-desired plans. Confusion about who we are and why we are here can plague us as we seek direction.
