Cheryl Thomas, LPCC

Staff Therapist

My experience spans nearly two decades working with many who struggle to find their way through different life challenges. I will collaborate with you to identify and attain goals. Getting to know you is the first step, and that is achieved through a variety of approaches grounded in family systems, cognitive behavioral therapy, and understanding any types of trauma that may have been experienced. Many have had trauma, and what I have learned is that talking about the details of the trauma is not always helpful. It may be a component of healing, but there may be other ways to make progress. I utilize a combination of approaches to be helpful in working with clients. Some may include person-centered, solution focused, motivational interviewing, cognitive behavioral therapy, and EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing). I work with ages 18 and up on mental health issues like depression, anxiety, grief, stress management, trauma, communication, and relationship issues.

My parents founded a nonprofit organization to support individuals recovering from substance use and assist those experiencing homelessness, and watching their dedication to service instilled in me a lifelong commitment to helping others. After high school, I joined the U.S. Air Force, where I served as a combat veteran during a tour in Afghanistan. My military experience helped me develop teamwork, discipline, and cultural competence through working with individuals from diverse backgrounds. I also completed an internship on a military installation and worked for a year at the Veterans Affairs hospital, combining my personal and professional understanding of the unique challenges faced by service members and veterans.

Amanda Bevan, LISW

I bring a warm, collaborative, and nonjudgmental style to therapy. I believe treatment should be personalized, goal-focused, holistic, and centered on each individual's unique needs.

I partner with patients to develop individualized treatment plans and use ongoing sessions to build skills, deepen insight, and track progress. Treatment is regularly reviewed and adjusted as needs and goals evolve.
