Cheryl Ward, LMHC
About me
I have been a Licensed Mental Health Counselor for 21 years with a background in Creative Arts Therapy using Dance/Movement and Drama as therapeutic tools. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting and career challenges, ADHD and addiction recovery issues. I also helped many people who have experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse.
My counseling style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and look to support each individuals creativity and spontaneity. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, psychodynamic and rational-emotive counseling. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.
It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you.
I look forward to working with you!
