Therapists Beginning With B in Newfoundland and Labrador

Are you feeling stuck or overwhelmed? Do you spend your time dwelling on the past, or worrying about the future? Are you experiencing difficulties that keep you from living the life you want to live? We all face hurdles that prevent us from living a more meaningful life and, as your therapist, I can help.

I’m Cheryl, an actively registered social worker, and I have been providing direct therapeutic counselling services for nearly 15 years in the field of mental health and addictions. I have received a Master of Social Work degree from Wilfred Laurier University, Ontario and completed the Bachelor of Social Work program from Memorial University of Newfoundland. Through my social work career, I have been given so many opportunities to engage in advanced clinical therapy with individuals, couples, and families, of all ages, in various capacities. I bring a range of experiences, therapeutic skills, and education to each relationship.

Do you feel overwhelmed or like you’re in a constant battle with your thoughts? Do you often feel stressed, anxious, or depressed? The truth is everyone experiences challenges at some point in their life. Sometimes asking for help can be difficult, but you’ve already taken the first step by reaching out. By building a meaningful connection with your therapist that allows you to share your experiences and hardships freely and openly, you can begin to learn the skills to help you work with your thoughts and feelings and gain back control in your life.

I have over 11 years of experience with mental health and addictions services in clinical and community settings. During that time, I have had many opportunities to work with children and youth as well as adults (ages 5 and up). A major focus of my work has been anxiety and stress management. I also have experience working with addictions, trauma, depression and other mental health concerns. I completed my BSW at Memorial University of NL in 2012 and my MSW at Dalhousie in 2022. I have training in CBT, DBT and trauma-informed care.

Your days can be filled with so many ups and downs as you walk this journey called life. It can leave you with high anxiety levels and/or low moods and depression. You maybe struggling at work, in your marriage, relationships, or as a parent. One thing is for certain: You are hardwired for authentic and meaningful connections. The gift of therapy is not only an act of self love, it's a granting permission to be authentically you and get those anxiety and depression levels back in equilibrium. It all starts with you and I building a therapeutic, meaningful connection.
