CHERYL LEMAY |
Associate Therapist |
Hi, my name is Cheryl, and I am an Associate Therapist at Thrive. I am a Registered Social Worker and also have my Applied Counselling Certificate. During my nearly 20 year career I have had the opportunity to work in a variety of settings such as elementary schools, hospitals, domestic violence shelters, and addictions centres. I have provided counselling to individuals, children and families over the years, assisting them with a broad range of issues. Some of the issues I specialize in include anxiety and depression, self esteem, managing stress, addictions, domestic violence, trauma, and crisis intervention. My therapeutic approaches predominantly include Narrative Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. I feel that some of my best qualities are that I am genuine and offer compassion and understanding. I work with each individual to help them build on their strengths and attain personal growth. I believe that no two individual experiences are the same and as a result my approach with each client varies according to their individual needs.
When I'm not counselling I enjoy being with my family. I love to cook and I am always trying something new. I have a creative side to me as I love to draw, paint and build things. I usually have at least two projects on the go at all times. I also have a passion for music and singing - there is almost always music playing in my house, and I think I have passed my love of music on to my children. :)
I look forward to working with you!
