Cheryl Lim, M.A.

Licensed Mental Health Counselor

“My training in CBT and psychodynamic approaches allow me to tailor my work to meet individual needs. I’ve had the privilege of working with a diverse range of clients, from children to seniors, across various settings. My primary focus has been with emerging adults, especially those navigating mood disorders, anxiety, and challenges related to life transitions and relationship/family dynamics. I'm committed to ongoing training and growth, ensuring I stay equipped to address the evolving needs in mental health.”

About Me

Therapy is unique to each individual, shaped by your identity and life experiences. I adjust each session to suit your needs and goals, using approaches like CBT, Solution-Focused Therapy, and psychodynamic techniques to explore how the past and present connect. My aim is to collaborate with you and support you in making meaningful changes, breaking patterns, and creating space for growth, exploration, and healing.
