About
Cheri L. Hausmann
Greetings
I come from a wellness background with over 15 years experience assisting clients and patients. My intention as a mental health professional is to offer clients the most comprehensive and compassionate care.
As a doctoral candidate, my research explores spiritual and existential dimensions of grief through the lens of object relations theory. In addition to doctoral research, I am a history student and psychoanalytic scholar with specialized training in object relations therapy and psychoanalysis.
