Patricia Cherry LPC

I am here to help. We we focus on your wants and needs by determining just what you would like to get out of our sessions. You will decide on the goals you want to work on. We will both think about ways to get where you want to go.

Therapists are familiar with numerous modalities for assisting clients to have the best life possible. One of the methods I use is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. It is a focused, pragmatic therapy where we analyze thoughts and how these thoughts affect our emotions and our behaviors. We can then discuss ways these thoughts can be altered in order to have less negative and more positive feelings that will result in behavior changes. My philosophy for counseling is derived from Person Centered Therapy. Active listening and appreciation of the client is foremost. Positive regard for the counselee is at the very and center of this therapy. This perspective can be kept while using other methodologies.
