More about me

Licensing: LMHC, VRC Years in Practice: 25 State: New York

Today you are one step closer to a new you where you feel empowered and on a positive path to growth and well-being.

As a solution-focused therapist, my goal is to help you uncover your true potential and lead a life that is worth celebrating. While we can't change difficult situations of the past, we can work together to better understand and resolve challenges in your life. By applying complementary therapy approaches and techniques, we will unearth long-standing behavior patterns or negative perceptions that may be holding you back from experiencing a more fulfilling and meaningful life.

I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with 25 years of experience. I establish trust and rapport with many diverse populations such as LGBTQIA+ and non-monogamous relationships. I sat on the New York State committee for inclusion and diversity for several years. I specialize in working with persons with a variety of mental health concerns such as: Anger Management, Anxiety, Depression, Personality Disorders and Sexual Identity. I also work with transition age youth who are on the spectrum. In addition, I am a Vocational Counselor so I can assist with job-related issues. My familiarity with the Americans with Disabilities Act puts me in a uniquely qualified position to help the disabled population.

I am located in the USA in the Eastern Standard Time Zone. I work here full time Monday-Friday from 9:00AM - 9:00PM EST and Saturdays 11:00AM - 4:00PM EST. Most clients enjoy a combination of message-based communication that is not in real time along with regular weekly live sessions by video, or phone. I respond to individuals within 24 hours of receiving a message.

If you're looking for extra support and guidance through a challenging situation or you're just ready to move in a new direction in your life, I look forward to working with you to achieve your goals.

About online counseling

Online counseling allows you to receive care from an online mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Cheryl is a very understanding,empathetic person. She listens attentively and responds in a timely manner to questions and comments as well as reading my journal entries. She seems more like a friend after all this therapy. I have learned so much about myself, let go of a lot of pain and moved forward into a healthier state of mind. I would strongly recommend Cheryl as a therapist. She cares, it shows!

Cheryl is very patient with me. She lets me speak and fully express myself, even if what I am discussing doesn't exactly follow what we've talked about the week before. Her responses prove to me that she understands me.

Cheryl has been great at listening and understanding my concerns, while also being a source of very direct advice and insight. I have really appreciated our sessions so far.

Cheryl is a wonderful person. Very insightful and clever, she is always there to listen, help and give you that extra push one sometimes need.

Cheryl stepped in when I needed help, I didn’t know her but we quickly developed a rapport and trust that allowed me in a relatively short time get to the crux of the matter and dig into work on a long term hidden issue. I appreciate her compassionate quite tone and gentle wisdom, both have gone a long way in helping me find the strength to dig into difficult issues and to talk about things I have never talked about before.

Awesome

She is very understanding and engages in the correct ways, she listens.

Alt bough I just started, I have already felt such a sense of relief just having an understanding person to talk to. If I am up in the middle of the night, I can journal and send it too Cheryl. She reads it, then responds!

Very sweet enjoyed my counselling with her unfortunately I couldn’t continue because I can’t afford it now

I have been talking to Cheryl for well over a year now. I found her when my depression was at it’s a peak and she’s been a pillar in my recovery. I look forward to each and every session she’s extremely insightful and supportive. She’s helped me become a better person which is all I could ask for. Thank you for always being there Cheryl ❤️

I’m very happy I sought out council through better help and to have been paired with Cheryl. She’s very understanding, takes time to listen and helps the conversation to stay constructive with the right questions when needed. I’ve only had 3 or 4 sessions so far and feel much better than the moment I began counseling.

Cheryl has been a great support and mentor she has helped me out in so many ways during these difficult times in quarantine. She has also been great with life transitions, dealing with difficult situations and relationships and really helped me see thing differently while helping to guide me through some life choices. I highly recommend Cheryl as therapist.

Cheryl is not only awesome in general but she constantly communicates with me especially if im being distant which i tend to be. She keep me on point and its very helpful

Cheryl has been amazing ! She is easy to talk to and doesn’t judge! Also checks in when I may not have set up an appt in awhile I suffer from severe anxiety and was starting severe depression because of it! The steps she gave me helped me a lot .. definitely didn’t fix the problem but I am confident sticking with her will have extremely good affects

Respectful, understanding and professional.

So far we have had one session and it went better than I expected.

No matter how bad a day or week I had, Cheryl has always helped me put it into perspective. I feel so much calmer about the uncertainty of my future just by having Cheryl on my team. She gets It, and I recommend her to anyone struggling with anxiety and existential depression.

Cheryl has helped me out so much. She has worked with me through various concerns and feelings, has helped me understand where the problems lie and has helped work through issues at hand. Very attentive.

I have found Cheryl to be extremely knowledgeable and filled with good suggestions for me to try. I was comfortable with her right away and knew she had my best interest in mind. I was not sure how online therapy was going to work, but it’s even better than I thought! I love the fact I can be in the comfort of my own home, in my pajamas lol, and be able to have sessions! It’s made life less hectic for sure! What I like most about Cheryl is her ability to listen and offer insights to me I often overlook. You can tell she is highly skilled at therapy! I would highly recommend Cheryl!
