From what I've observed personally, therapy is useful to anyone who is human. Why should you talk to a therapist instead of a friend or your mother? The difference is that therapists are expert listeners who do not judge, criticize, or contradict, but who want to hear everything you have to say and how you are feeling. You may want help discussing difficult thoughts and feelings or need guidance on particular issues, or you may not be sure how you feel. The therapy session offers a private, safe place where you can feel free to say everything. And if you have trouble talking, the therapist can help with that too.
My mission is to offer that safe space where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment or criticism. Taking the first step to seek therapy takes courage. I’m here to support you in that process.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Cheryl is very helpful
Cheryl is very patient, kind, and understanding
Ms, Cheryl is the most Amazing, understanding person. She listens to me, gives me time to gather my thoughts. She is just the sweetest person & I’m grateful that she’s my to go to when I need her.
Cheryl is an amazing caring therapist!
Great listener! Repeats back points and asks questions specifically relating to what you’re talking about. Allows you to lead the conversation on what you may need to talk about that day. One thing I would change is when asking for any new coping skills or things to help in those times when you need the extra TLC for yourself, she doesn’t directly mention what recommendations she has. This may be because it’s still early on, so I am continuing to give more time for the relationship to grow, but even when I requested worksheets, she said she would send them that night, I gave her a day and messaged her reminding to do so if possible, no response and resent another message today. I would like to continue working on myself between our sessions and liked the idea of this app and therapy type, but if I’m not able to help myself with the “one free group and individual session” then that isn’t helping me out at all. Will give it more time and submit another review at a later date, but Cheryl is an absolutely fantastic woman and would like to continue this, just maybe has too large of a patient portfolio at this time!
She listens well and gives good advice too.
Cheryl hit the nail on the head by providing clarity to my thought and providing direction. She also helped me to arrive at the direction.
Cheryl was very receptive and helpful with ways to deal with my concerns. She didn't dominate the conversation, but at the same time, helped me to open up when I didn't know what to say.
Cheryl is very nice and easy to talk to. I felt she understood and I could relate with her.
Cheryl is super nice and easy to talk to. She gives me a lot of space to talk about what I want and has been very supportive in my time with her. I wish I had someone like this in my life before, and she has helped me through some rough times in the past month or so.
Cheryl is a great listener and is easy to talk ti.
Cheryl, seems very kind and understanding. I've just begun sessions with her, but I am satisfied so far. -Melissa Land
