Hi there! My name is Cheryl, I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor in Morehead City, NC. I specialize in working with children, adolescents and young adults. Individual counseling for children and teens can be very helpful in a variety of different ways. Counseling can help develop positive coping skills, change negative behaviors, build self-esteem and even help in learning social and relationship skills. I am here to support children and their parents in identifying struggles and barriers, reaching goals and building resiliency. Parents may be asked to join some sessions depending on needs and development.
Each child and adolescent is experiencing something unique. I take a very person centered approach to individual needs and goals utilizing a combination of therapeutic approaches such as Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Mindfulness as well as Solution Focused Therapy.
I am happy you're here. Seeking counseling for ourselves or our children can be intimidating. If you find your child struggling with life stressors, social drama, emotional regulation or you just want to provide them a safe space to express their feelings, I invite you to reach out and schedule an appointment today.
