Cheryl Laroche
LPC, 16 years of experience
About me
I have been an experienced licensed professional counselor for 16 years. Providing empathy, compassion and support, is part of my fundamental belief system. Everyone has a story to tell and to be heard! I provide a non-judgmental environment for clients to feel safe and respected. My approach to mental wellness is eclectic at times, as I try to meet my client "where they are" for treatment. I have the best job in the world meeting and inspiring individuals/couples!
Get to know me
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
I provide an explanation of what will occur over the first few weeks of treatment, for example, assessments to rule out depression, anxiety, or relationship trauma, so that the individual/couple can identify a treatment goal to work on in future therapy sessions. Homework will be assigned for each session.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
I am a Light Empath, a writer, content creator on Medium and Substack, a soulful nurturer, humorous, kind, and an enthusiastic guide to my clients. I am writing a Couple Therapy book for providers/clients called, "Tending the Garden of Love".
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
I work best with clients who are engaging, eager and are ready to work on themselves. I offer a multitude of treatment modalities for my clients to choose from to get mentally healthy. I especially enjoy seeing a client's self-awareness come alive throughout their therapy journey. I enjoy writing about mental health topics on an online platform. My clients expect homework assignments to practice the tools we have discussed in the therapy session.

My treatment methods
Sex Therapy
I have a Certification for Couple Sex Therapy-Informed Professionals as of September 2025. I enjoy assisting couples how to enjoy their sexual intimacy to their full potential.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
This is my flagship treatment modality. All mental health disorders respond well to this treatment.
Couples Counseling
This is one of the most satisfying treatment approaches to me. There is a dynamic energy flow between each partner which makes working on specific areas of their marriage/partnership easier to identify.
Compassion Focused
I used this treatment modality at least daily with my clients to support and provide avenues for self awareness and self worth.

Cheryl is genuine, a good listener and straight forward. I appreciate her immensely. Over the past few years I've had anxiety and she is helping me define it, helping me address it and overcome it.

Cheryl had me from the beginning ; her warm, caring, intelligent personality was evident from our very first session. I am very glad I chose her and can't wait to see the progress we will make in this journey.
