Structural Family Therapy in 77339

Mental health struggles, whether intense or mild, can really make everyday life difficult. Sometimes these struggles affect us personally and other times they affect the people around us, making us collateral damage. Attending therapy can help us learn skills to manage such struggles. For example, processing is a skill that allows us to understand our thoughts, understand our feelings, accept certain aspects of our lives and situations, and work through the struggle to move on. Learning to process and work through our struggles can make a huge difference in how we handle stress and daily life situations.

My goal is to support you on your journey toward mental, physical, and spiritual well-being. Through counseling, clients can explore their current life situation and begin to deal effectively with the circumstances they are facing in a safe environment. Counseling can also provide tools for change, but even more, it can be a springboard to begin identifying some of the factors that have led to the current situation.

Do you ever feel like you can make your own decisions, but from time to time you may need assistance and direction? Cheryl believes each person has the capacity to resolve their own issues but she can help when needed.

As a Licensed Professional Counselor Associate (LPC-A) and a Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor (LCDC), I enjoy working with both individuals and couples with a multitude of struggles, including depression, anxiety, relationship stress, life transitions, grief and loss, trauma, and addiction issues. Everyone deserves to have a life worth living, feeling valued, and hopeful, and I am here to help you reach your goals.

You don't have to bully yourself to a better life! Let's improve your connection to yourself, your future, and to others with a mix of empathy and accountability. Together, we'll help you feel more empowered through the changes in your life.

I am passionate about my work, and I particularly enjoy working with couples. Relationships shape the human experience, and I engage with couples and individuals within the context of their own personal and family histories, helping unlock their potential for intimacy and fulfillment. Additionally, I have expertise in working with adolescents, individually or within their family system, facilitating the process of developing independence, coping skills and positive sense of personal identity.

You have great value as a person and deserve to feel that. It's completely normal to feel down, afraid, or inadequate. We all feel this way from time to time. The problem comes in when you have no way to work through and let go of difficult or challenging thoughts and emotions. Therapy is a powerful way for you to develop skills and experience healing so you can live the full life you want to live.

Life presents us with many challenges that are difficult to work through. Are you experiencing anything that is hindering your overall healing, growth, or purpose? Are you struggling to recover from trauma and find it hard to connect with or trust others? Are you unsure how to manage your emotions, relationship/family conflicts, or general mood? Maybe you just want to make some changes in your life. Maybe you just need someone to provide you with the support and tools needed to manage or make changes in your life. We will work together collaboratively to attain the goals that are most essential for you to live the life you desire.

We can’t seem to connect anymore. I’m so tired of fighting I don’t know if I can do it anymore. If I married the love of my life, why do I always feel so alone? We are basically just roommates these days. Do I really even love him/her anymore? We haven’t had sex in I don’t even know how long. If you have said or thought any of these things, I'm so sorry. You are not alone, and it doesn't have to be that way. I see you.
