Words from our patients

Melanie F.

“I never thought therapy would be for me, but I really needed help. I tried several therapists before finding Cheryl. She is the first therapist I could relate to. She can balance empathic, authentic vulnerability with professionalism better than anyone I’ve ever worked with. She helps me minimize feelings of shame, which allows me to open up; I don’t feel like I have to suppress my thoughts with Cheryl. I can freely express frustration, anger, or joy. There is space for all of that. She knows when I need a reality check and when I just need to vent for a bit. She also knows when I need to journal and make note of things that brought me joy. She helped me decide when I needed to start seeing a psychiatrist. She helped me figure out the logistics of starting therapy and how to navigate insurance. She also provided direction when I was facing an emergency. I feel so incredibly lucky to have Cheryl as my therapist, and can’t recommend her enough.”

James B.

“I reached out to Cheryl in the summer of 2020 when my mood swings, depression, and anxiety became debilitating; I was closed off, isolating and numbing myself in order to cope with my feelings, and also struggling with family dynamics. Cheryl and I met weekly for several months where she helped me recognize my unhealthy thought and behavioral patterns. Cheryl gave me the tools to discover and show up as my authentic self, comfortable and confident with what I brought to the proverbial table. She helped me understand and articulate the things I valued in life, especially in a romantic partner. By the fall of 2020, we finally came up with a list of qualities I sought out in a partner. Not even two weeks later I connected with my now fiancé, the man of my dreams. There was a zero percent chance I would have been in the right headspace to make space for another person in my life if not for the work we put in. Thank you, Cheryl!”

Kelly C.

“Cheryl is an incredible therapist. Extremely attentive, insightful, and honest, she listens and provides useful feedback that helps me manage my emotions. She has provided me with the tools I need to be more mindful of how I navigate my anxiety and negative thoughts. I trust her and would recommend her to anyone.”

Melissa M.

“I am grateful for Cheryl’s help in overcoming my anxiety and depression. During our sessions she not only listened to me without judgment, but also encouraged me to dig deeper into my psyche, reasoning, and mind frame. While exploring these difficult topics, Cheryl provided me with useful tools on mindfulness and how to generate positive thoughts, which I still utilize.”

Gretchen C.

“In 2020 I started my therapy journey. After meeting with three different therapists that made me feel like therapy wasn’t going to work for me, I found Cheryl. She listens, gives incredible advice, helps me see things more clearly, and validates my feelings. She offers suggestions and action steps when needed. I used to be so overwhelmed, stressed, and insecure, but Cheryl has completely helped me turn my life around. I am now able to handle situations step-by-step without becoming overwhelmed. I’m able to better manage my stress. Additionally, I credit Cheryl for my recovery from my binge eating disorder. She discussed meal plan ideas and emphasized the healing power of cooking. She let me know exactly what I needed to do to stop the binging. I have learned to love my body exactly the way it is. Lastly, she lets me vent whenever I need. She will always make space in her schedule if I need an extra session. I recommend working with Cheryl, as she is not only an incredible therapist, but also an amazing and caring person.”

Eugene F.

“Cheryl really took the time to understand my background and habits to discover the root cause of my behaviors. She was never judgmental, was willing to listen, and always knew what to say. I truly felt like I was improving every time I talked to her, and I am incredibly grateful for the tools she has given me.”

Madison S.

“I started working with Cheryl about three years ago to better understand and deal with bouts of mild depression. I attended therapy with her regularly, and through my sessions, I learned more about myself, my communication style, my personal and romantic relationships, family dynamics, career, and my body image than I ever could have imagined. This has had a positive effect on so many aspects of my life. In fact, one of my original goals, which came up in my very first conversation with Cheryl, was to feel mentally prepared and strong enough to have a family of my own. Now I’m 8 1/2 months pregnant and feeling confident with the tools and knowledge I’ve gained going into my final weeks of pregnancy and soon, new motherhood.”

Calinda C.

“Cheryl is an excellent therapist. I didn’t grow up in a culture or environment where therapy was encouraged, but Cheryl helped break those boundaries for me. She both listened to and pushed me, equally. I recommend her services no matter where you are in life.”

Sarah F.

“Cheryl has helped me see the connections between my emotions and behaviors that result from me not processing them in a constructive manner. Together, we are helping me create more self-awareness as well as methods for improved self-control so I can be a better me.”

Jackson L.

“Having struggled with the anxiety and stress of managing a fast paced job in finance while juggling the responsibilities of a young family, I was very lucky to come across Cheryl and her services. Through weekly talk therapy, she helped me immensely by introducing new ways for me to control my daily stressors, helping me to be more efficient with time management, and improving my coping abilities when dealing with stressful situations (both at work and at home). I saw improvements in myself after just a few months, and continued to see her for over two years because the progress had such a positive impact on my mental well-being. Cheryl is a great listener, but more importantly, is very relatable and understanding. I highly recommend her as a therapist, especially if you find yourself trying to balance an extremely demanding career while maintaining a healthy personal life and meaningful relationships.”

Henrietta S.

“Cheryl helped me heal from an eating disorder, after 8 years of suffering, at a time when I thought recovery wasn’t possible. Her compassionate demeanor and truthful guidance assisted me to shift onto a path of self-acceptance. Each therapy session gave me insight and tools that I still utilize in my everyday life. I feel so fortunate to live a fulfilled life now thanks to Cheryl’s continued support.”

Belinda M.

“Cheryl has a warm and welcoming energy that made me feel comfortable from day one. She is very easy to talk to, provides a nonjudgmental space, and listens intently. I cannot thank her enough for the support and guidance she has given me.”
