Cherlyn Walker, LPC — Therapist in Texas

Hi there, I'm Cherlyn!

I work with children, adolescents, and adults facing mood and anxiety disorders, trauma/PTSD, school and behavioral problems, ADHD, learning differences, spiritual issues, and life adjustment challenges. My approach varies based on your needs and preferences, always using evidence-based interventions while checking your comfort level.

My focus

I work with clients from age 6 to older adults in all phases of life, from serious mental health concerns and crises to everyday life challenges.

My approach

I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, EMDR, Cognitive Processing Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Psychodynamic approaches, and Mindfulness. I also incorporate expressive therapies and play therapy, tailoring my methods to what works best for you.

My communication style

I am warm and friendly, and want our time together to feel comfortable but productive. I do my best to create a safe space that is encouraging and non-judgmental.

My journey to mental healthcare

Throughout my life, people have felt comfortable talking to me about difficult things. Friends came to me for help because I was a good listener, didn't judge, and kept their information private. I started as a pre-medicine major but discovered my passion for psychology and never looked back.

My goals for you

At our first sessions, I will ask you what life will be like when we finish therapy and what you want to achieve. I will then help you develop a measurable and achievable goal that we can refine as we make progress.

Our first session

The first session will include time to build rapport. You are welcome to ask me about myself, and I will take time to get to know you. I will complete a comprehensive evaluation, asking about what you want from therapy, your previous therapy history, and your developmental and clinical background.
