Cheryl Bowen

I found Cheryl last winter when the pandemic was at it's height and I desperately needed to speak with someone. From the start she has always been so calm, kind, and thoughtful, and would reach out daily to check in and make sure that I was doing ok and offering helpful tips and readings to try. She helped me through some tough things, and if I ever were to reactivate my account she would be the person I would request to see again, hands down. If you're looking for an attentive, understanding, and dedicated counselor, Cheryl is it!

Cheryl has been a great counsellor. I am a senior and this is the first time in my life I have sought counselling so I was nervous and had no idea what to expect. Cheryl made me feel comfortable from day 1 and continues to help me sort through my issues and identify the root of the problem. She is easy to talk to and has always made herself easily available for contact. Cheryl has personally been a big help to me and I am looking forward to continuing with her as I work through issues that have been in my life for many years.

I love Cheryl, she's one of the few therapists that give you practical worksheets to improve yourself and I am very grateful for her.

Cheryl makes you feel appreciated. She does not judge and is very easy to talk to. I can recommend her.

Cheryl has shown patience and kindness when I’ve been negative towards ideas she has given to try and help me on my journey. Took the time to understand my thoughts however jumbled and made herself available when I’ve really struggled. Suffering from ptsd isn’t something I would wish on my worse enemy . It messes with your head and is like riding the worst roller coaster. The tsunami of emotions, triggers and flash back hits sometimes from what I thought was no where Cheryl would grab my swirling thoughts and feelings and help me lay them out in a more manageable way. Exercises/activities I have struggled to do have been respected and I’ve not been made to feel bad for not at least being willing to to try everything. Cheryl totally understands one size shoe doesn’t fit all and is adaptable to my needs. Even when I was giving up hope of ever feeling myself again Cheryl would encourage me however small any step I took was in my head . She would then make me see that any step was better than taking none at all .

Cheryl is great! She shared so many resources with me and helped me use the Betterhelp app’s features to make sure we could talk through certain issues completely. She’s easy to talk to, and offers advice and strategies for moving forward.

Cheryl is the 3rd therapist i have tried speaking with and I finally feel heard, sympathized with, and not harshly judged for getting myself in a hard spot.

This was my first time going to therapy. Cheryl was great at listening, asking the questions that allowed us to dig deeper. She assigns worksheets that complemented with my self awareness. I would seek her for therapy again. Her schedule does tend to book up quickly.

Chery was responsive and provided support quickly and made herself available when I needed her support for a relationship issue related to substance abuse.

She has given me amazing articles to read that has really helped me in my thinking. ( self esteem )

I’ve texted with Cheryl, and even through text she’s made me feel like I was in the room with her. It’s lovely to finally be able to talk to someone I enjoy.

My first appointment with Cheryl was awesome - I have never gone to therapy before, but I really really enjoyed it! To me it was fun/nice to talk about everything that has been bothering me or stressing me out. I will be making more appointments for sure.

Cheryl is great. She gives helpful advice about my issues and ways to cope with them in between sessions. She also sends helpful articles and checks in in between sessions. She always makes herself available on the chat section when needed and is quick to respond. Highly recommend Cheryl!

Lots of helpful resources. Great communicator.

Cheryl is a great help! Very positive, very progress oriented with to-do lists, positive encouragement and self surveys. I really like how she gives me "homework" in between sessions, it helps me make progress and be accountable to myself.

Kind, empathetic, knowledgeable, great listener and excellent at what she does. Thankyou so much for you support

I’m extremely happy with Cheryl thus far. I feel better about some things and look forward to digging deeper into my issues. For the first time in a while I feel a bit of a weight coming off of my shoulders. It feels great to express and release all of these feelings and issues I’ve bottled inside for literally decades.

I am very pleased with this experience and Cheryl has been very helpful in this difficult time. Thank you.

I really enjoy my counselling sessions with Cheryl. I find Cheryl highly empathetic, patient and respectful. I don't feel judged when I talk to her. She is a great listener and asks good questions that make me reflect and analize my actions and views. I appreciate Cheryl sharing additional information with me between our sessions and checking in with me. She is a great councillor. I wish I could see Cheryl more than once a week and have longer sessions with her.

Cheryl has a warm, energetic presence and asks all the good questions, even though tough ones!

I felt very supported with Cheryl. Even though I did not share much as I was busy, I still felt like I had someone to listen to me. I recieved helpful tips and advice along the way, it was exactly what I needed. Thank you!

Cheryl listen and help me with my issues. She offers a variety of solutions.

With two sessions completed I can already tell Cheryl is incredibly experienced. Cheryl is great at letting me vent and lends me honest and constructive advice while keeping my spirits high. Would recommend to anyone. Thanks, Cheryl!

I have loved my experience with Cheryl so far, she always responds to messages any time of the day, makes herself available and not only offers personal support and guidance but signposts to other relevant materials that could be helpful. I think that Cheryl is a wonderful counsellor and I would highly recommend.

It is still early days with my counselling sessions with Cheryl, but I find I am very comfortable talking to her about any problems and don't feel judged. I have confidence in her ability to suggest different strategies to support these issues. Cheryl always responds to messages in a timely manner and makes you feel supported.

Cheryl was very patient, approachable, and consistently shared helpful resources. I would recommend her to anyone.

I have had a great experience with better help. Lots of homework and reading if you want it. Always available or responding in a timely manner.

Cheryl has been great so far. It’s still early days but I have found her kind and very realistic. I like her straightforward approach and her positivity.
Looking forward to continuing this journey with her.

she’s a very understand person. sees both sides of things. one thing i ask from a person is to listen and she does that very well.

I spoke with Cheryl three times and messaged with her frequently over the course of a couple months. This was my first experience with counseling. Cheryl gave me exactly what I needed, pointing me in the right direction and giving me piles of information to chew on and tools to put into practice. She also helped me identify areas of my life that I need to work on that I was not previously aware of, like being able to accept compliments to improve my self-esteem. She listened to my concerns about depression, anxiety, grief, work--life balance, and anger patiently and gave me respectful and thoughtful feedback. Cheryl gave me the springboard I needed when I had no idea where to start.

Cheryl is amazing and I am very fortunate to be working with her.

I feel like I can talk to her and chat

She is amazing, very comfortable to talk to, understanding, and very nice, I personally feel better after everytime we talk.

Cheryl has been diligent and attentive. She is very on top of communication& responds to any of my messages promptly. We just started working together so I needs to peel back more layers of the core of what I'm working through, but so far its been great.

Cheryl is fantastic. She takes the time to listen and lightly guide. She is responsive and makes great recommendations. Her follow up has been fantastic and she helps keep me on track.

I found Cheryl very open and easy to talk to. She is incredibly responsive to messages and had convenient times for me to schedule live appointments. Her guidance and support was helpful and very practical, which I found helpful.
