Dr. Cheryl Burns

Welcome! Dr. Cheryl Burns here, waiting to join you on your journey of hope, healing, and restoration! As a licensed clinical psychologist, I currently work full time specializing in neuropsychology after completion of my doctorate at Fielding Graduate University in 2022, followed by a two year residency in neuropsychology. For over 20 years, I have specialized in working with clients who have faced addictions, trauma, relationship challenges, grief, anxiety, depression, and other debilitating diagnoses.

During the therapeutic encounter, I utilize a balance of cognitive behavioral and psychodynamic therapy approaches along with techniques borrowed from existentialism, reality therapy, solution focused therapy, and motivational interviewing. For those desiring a Christian perspective, my background includes over a decade of experience providing therapy services within a faith-based setting.

My initial goal is to get to know you and determine how I can be of help. I believe that the best therapy provides a safe, compassionate, and supportive environment that allows you to grow as an individual, while reaching the goals that you develop. As we progress, I aim to help you uncover the underlying thoughts and feelings keeping you stuck, transform them into healthier perspectives, and equip you with effective, personalized coping strategies that allow you to successfully navigate life.
