Do you feel alone, overwhelmed, and stuck? Does everyone turn to you for help but you don't have anyone to rely on? Do you have people pleasing tendencies and have trouble setting boundaries? You are not alone and don't have to continue struggling. I can support you and help you develop coping skills, focus on self-care and process your thoughts and feelings to empower you. My name is Cherry Napolitano and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with two decades of experience in the mental health field. My therapeutic style is collaborative and compassionate. In my work with adults, I have experience with anxiety, depression, major life transitions, romantic relationships and family conflicts. I am dedicated to equipping you with tools to overcome challenges. Having lived and worked across the country and in Asia enhances my understanding of people of various backgrounds. I am trilingual and can provide therapy in English, Thai and/or Lao. With an appreciation for uniqueness, I am curious about who you are and your life story to harness your strengths.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session, we'll begin with introductions, gather information, and discuss specific struggles you're facing. We will review or develop your goals together. Since therapy is a process, you can modify your goals along the way. A search for therapist is personal and it's important to find a good fit. I recognize that and I support your decision.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
My greatest strength is the ability to empathize with people of many backgrounds. My open-mindedness and authenticity help people feel comfortable with sharing parts of themselves without being judged.
Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.
You are the expert of your life and my role is to support you in creating a more meaningful life and building resiliency. Together, we will tailor your goals that are achieved by a strong desire to change.
