Paul Cherry
MS, LPC, LCDC
I work with adults who have grown cynical, burned out, hopeless, and tired of the never-ending cycle of distraction, addiction, dysphoria, malaise, and who have a restless desire to break free from the status quo. You may have almost given up, but you're holding onto hope that there's still a reason to keep trying to find another way out of this muck. If you're struggling with shame, regret, and life crises manifesting as depression, anxiety, or personal, relationship, and career problems, and you have found escape in destructive, repetitive patterns you'd like to stop, please reach out. I'd love to help you find a way to create something new.
More about me
I use a deep listening and an empathetic approach from an existential and humanist point-of-view to help you identify core patterns of beliefs and behaviors which block you from fully experiencing and becoming more aligned with your authentic inner self. Together, we learn to fully appreciate the present moment as it is, without the need for deflection or avoidance, moving into and through suffering to find relief, purpose, meaning, and joy.
​​
I enthusiastically support and work with members of the LGBTQ+ communities, and I am committed to working with you as an affirming and compassionate ally. You are welcomed and valued as you are, without criticism or judgment. Every expression of who you are is important, valued, and celebrated.

I work with individuals experiencing depression, anxiety, grief, ADHD, existential crises, trauma, dysfunctional families of origin, chemical dependency, substance use disorders, addiction, distress related to spirituality and spiritual or religious abuse and trauma, lack of connection with self or others, and much more.
