Charles Hester Cheek is a dedicated Marriage & Family Therapist, MA, LMFT, committed to helping individuals, couples, and families uncover their inherent strengths born from their unique experiences. He recognizes that every person arrives at therapy with a distinct set of beliefs, values, morals, and expectations, and he firmly believes that they are often stronger and more capable than they realize. Many clients may not immediately see their resilience or their potential to break free from toxic cycles in relationships. Charles understands that overwhelming feelings can cloud one's path forward, and he expertly turns these emotions into a navigable road map for healing. His therapeutic approach fosters a collaborative environment, allowing clients to work alongside him to set and achieve their goals. While his approach is integrative, he primarily utilizes Emotionally Focused Therapy, Narrative Based Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. Charles is aware that internal and external struggles often develop early, requiring effective coping strategies and safety measures to navigate daily life. He takes pride in helping clients identify triggers that lead to negative emotions while equipping them with skills that pave the way for healthy outcomes and facilitate a deeper understanding of their value-centered purpose.
