About Cheryl

Cheryl Colt is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who specializes in anxiety, depression, grief, anger management, and domestic abuse. Cheryl has 12+ years of experience as an LPC working with individuals, couples, and families. Her pastoral background also enables her to support clients using their spiritual resources.

"'I want to feel better. I want a better relationship with my partner or children. I need someone to really listen to me.' These are some of the comments I hear when someone comes to counseling for the first time," says Cheryl. "Often, the clients I see have struggled with depression, anxiety, conflict, or trauma for years before they seek help from a therapist. What if counseling could improve your quality of life and lessen your negative symptoms? In my work as a psychotherapist, I have had the joy of seeing these very goals accomplished."

Cheryl uses numerous interventions, strength based, emotionally focused, CBT, family systems and is a Certified Clinical Trauma Professional (CCTP) as well as a VCA registered supervisor. Her years of experience highlight what a wonderful clinician she is to work with and she supports any goals you identify in treatment.

"As a psychotherapist, pastor, mother and wife, I have a wide breadth of experience and knowledge that helps me identify and relate to clients on multiple levels. "
