Compassionate, insight-oriented counseling
Cheri L. Hausmann LMFT, PhD-Candidate
My goal is to create a supportive and compassionate space where clients feel safe, heard, and truly understood. As a licensed marriage and family therapist, I bring expertise in working with individuals and families from diverse backgrounds and across all age groups. My areas of specialization include navigating life transitions, addressing existential crises, exploring spirituality, resolving family and relationship conflicts, enhancing self-esteem, managing emotional distress, and supporting clients through depression, grief, and marital challenges.
Within this supportive environment, my role is to serve as a gentle guide, helping clients uncover aspects of their experiences that may be unconscious, repressed, misunderstood, or challenging to articulate. This process often includes interventions that engage multiple dimensions of the mind, fostering a sense of emotional release and restoration while empowering clients on their journey toward healing and growth.
Counseling Philosophy
When clients connect with their sense of purpose, I believe they possess the inner resources needed to fulfill their needs and realize their dreams. My counseling philosophy centers on providing gentle guidance to help clients tap into this potential. I am a psychodynamic therapist and help clients explore unconscious thoughts, childhood experiences, and unresolved conflicts to understand how these influence current behavior and emotions. The goal is to gain insight and achieve emotional growth through self-awareness and reflection.
Therapy of Self and Relational Transformation
In therapy, clients are given the space to confront their inner thoughts and feelings about who they are and how their perceptions have been shaped by others and the world around them. These insights offer a framework for identifying key areas to focus on in the healing process. Over time, clients naturally begin to feel motivated to make meaningful changes in their lives. As this process unfolds, relationships can be restored to a more harmonious state, and previously unsettling conditions start to transform and heal.
