LMFT, 10 years of experience
Cherrie Phillips is a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and has been practicing since 2014, working in multiple settings including the community mental health setting, substance abuse residential facilities, and private practice. Cherrie has worked with various age groups ranging from as young as 5 years old up to later in life years. Cherrie prides herself on being a civil minded therapist, and particularly enjoys working with marginalized populations to guide them in unpacking and healing generational trauma.
Cherrie utilizes the first therapy session to focus on what you are seeking to address in therapy at this time, how emotional pain has contaminated various areas of your life, from work, to relationships to self care, and establishing expectations for creating a safe therapeutic environment for future sessions. **Please note, any Saturday availability is reserved for couple's therapy only. Cherrie does not accept individual or family sessions on Saturdays**
Cherrie utilizes an integrated approach by using Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness, Attachment Theory and Psychodynamic modalities to empower her clients to rediscover their authentic self in order to live in their truth and happiness. Insight is the key, it's just not an easy door to unlock.
Cherrie provides individual and couples therapy, specializing in working with those dealing with depression, anxiety, trauma, family conflict, relationship conflict, anger management, parenting, self esteem and emotional dysregulation. Cherrie recognizes that we all struggle and we all deserve to be fully seen, in a compassionate and non-judgmental space that allows for real self-reflection and self-actualization. Cherrie is not accepting minor's at this time.
I provide psychoeducation on the four types of attachment styles and how your attachment style is influencing your relationships with others.
We will utilize the four DBT modules (distress tolerance, mindfulness, emotion regulation, interpersonal effectivness) to teach you more effective coping skills, how to process difficult emotions and improve your ability to effectively communicate with others.
I utilize EFT in individual and couple's therapy to highlight the primary emotions which lead to destructive and harmful behaviors
Using a trauma informed approach, we establish themes and pathologies impacting your current day to day life due to unresolved, and often times suppressed, early life traumas.

I appreciated Cherrie's effort to get to the bottom of what I actually need from therapy. Our conversation helped me to realize that it may not be individual therapy that would benefit me the most. I may need more group therapy than anything. She was very warm and empathetic.

Cherrie is direct and solution oriented. She helped me focus my thoughts to provide a clearer idea of what I am looking for in therapy and my life. She made me feel empowered to take control of my life and gave me a starting point on the path to healing. I'm so grateful I found her.
