Cheryl Nicholas

Hello and welcome!

I am the owner of Mental Elegance Counseling & Consultation, LLC. My vision is to assist individuals in reaching the level of elegance in their mental health journey that's desired. My goal is to provide a safe space for individuals to feel supported, motivated and empowered while navigating through life's obstacles and challenges. I have 10 years of experience helping clients explore areas of anxiety, depression, trauma/PTSD, stress, grief, self-esteem concerns, ADHD, emotional regulation difficulties and behavioral concerns.

I utilize a client-centered approach grounded in Motivational Interviewing to help clients gain insight into unhealthy thought and behavioral patterns. I incorporate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Gestalt Therapy, as appropriate, to support clients in developing effective coping skills, promoting healthy thought patterns, and creating sustainable behavioral changes.

The initial session focuses on building a supportive therapeutic relationship, understanding the client’s concerns, and identifying goals for treatment. In a nonjudgmental environment, clients are encouraged to share their experiences and collaborate with the therapist to develop individualized strategies for overcoming challenges, removing barriers, and achieving personal and professional goals.
