Cheryl Carp is a dedicated Counselor (MA, LMHC) specializing in assisting adults and elders (65+) who are navigating complex challenges such as addiction, chronic illness, and suicidal ideation. Understanding the intricate relationship between physical and mental health, Cheryl seeks to help clients make connections between their struggles and the issues they wish to address. During the initial appointment, she gathers important history, learns about the current situation, and explores the client's goals, all while introducing the effective Cognitive Behavioral Therapy TEAM model. With extensive training in various therapeutic methods, she finds the TEAM approach, rooted in the work of David Burns, to be particularly impactful in facilitating meaningful change. Cheryl emphasizes that the path to emotional and psychological improvement involves changing the way clients think to change how they feel, and she encourages active participation in the therapy process, including the incorporation of homework assignments. Although the journey of looking for a therapist may feel daunting, especially during challenging times, Cheryl is committed to providing support and guidance as clients work towards alleviating their burdens.
