Cheryl Richards, LMHC — Therapist in Indiana

Hi there, I'm Cheryl!

I practice in a very client-centered manner, meeting the individuals I work with where they are at and working from there. My goal is to help you clarify what you would like to achieve and realistic ways to move forward.

My focus

I specialize in working with individuals aged 13 to the elderly. Symptoms might include depression, anxiety, difficult transitions, and trauma issues.

My approach

My style is very supportive, trauma-informed, and eclectic. I have skills related to CBT, DBT, and Harm Reduction. I can work with a wide variety of patients and backgrounds. Culturally sensitive and open to all LGBTQ+ issues.

My communication style

I try to be supportive, encouraging, and to ensure help feels like help.

My journey to mental healthcare

Initially, I trained in film with the plan to make documentaries and change the world. It quickly became clear to me that the most significant work I could do would be to help make the world a safer and better place for individuals, one at a time. I have always loved being a therapist.

My goals for you

I believe in working at your pace and identifying what your hopes and dreams are.

Our first session
