Hi there, I'm Cherry Are you wanting to pursue your best life? Do you procrastinate? Are you ready to step out of your comfort zone ever so slightly? You may find that action conquers fear! I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with over 20 years of experience providing therapy services. I work with clients who may have issues with depression, anxiety, substance use, trauma, couples, adult children from dysfunctional families and domestic violence. This is not a conclusive list. I received my Masters degree in Counseling at Amberton University in Garland, Texas.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, then dive into the specific challenges you're facing. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.
What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?
I utilize Motivational Interviewing, Dialectic Behavioral Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Imago Relationship Therapy, Coaching and Brain Spotting to help client reach their goals. I will use the modality(s) which lends itself to the particular issues and the client. Brain Spotting, which evolved out of EMDR is a brain and body-based therapy.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I utilize Imago Relationship Therapy with couples and individuals which can soon lead to increased understanding and connection . I also utilize Brainspotting (a brain and body based therapy) that facilitates deeper processing to aid in shifting "stuck" parts. I often interweave Internal Family Systems techniques. I have chosen these techniques in pursuing intensive trainings.
Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.
I enjoy working with couples who are struggling with communication styles that lead to frustration. I introduce couples to more effective methods of communicating wants and needs and in a way that leads to feeling heard and validated.
