Hello, my name is Cheryl Osler. I received my Bachelor of Nursing from Seattle Pacific University, a master’s in community mental health nursing from the University of Hawaii, a master’s in clinical psychology from Argosy University, and a Master of Studies in Law, and a Doctorate in Educational Leadership from the University of Southern California. I am a Registered Nurse, a Clinical Nurse Specialist, and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor. I have over 20 years of experience working with mental health clients. I have worked as a licensed mental health counselor in private practice for ten years specializing in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to treat individuals, couples, and families dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, postpartum depression, grieving, and attention deficit disorders. Additionally, I volunteer as a Disaster Mental Health Counselor for the American Red Cross. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a psychotherapeutic treatment that helps patients understand the thoughts and feelings that influence behaviors. CBT is commonly used to treat a wide range of disorders, including phobias, addictions, depression, and anxiety. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is generally short-term and focused on helping clients deal with a specific problem. During treatment, people learn how to identify and change destructive or disturbing thought patterns that negatively influence behavior. I look forward to the opportunity to assist you in learning new skills and supporting you during this challenging period.

17 years offering treatment
I am licensed in Minnesota and Wisconsin with 17 years of professional work experience. I have experience in helping clients with stress and anxiety, relationship issues, trauma and abuse, & parenting issues. In addition to working with generalized anxiety, stress, depression, etc, I specialize in working with neurodiversity (asd, adhd, gifted, 2e, etc), trauma, and recovery from narcissistic abuse. Within my practice I generally utilize an eclectic approach, rooted in acceptance and commitment therapy, to meet people where they are while also gently encouraging them toward continued growth and wellness. I am also trained as an EMDR therapist, which is an effective therapy to heal from traumatic experiences and shift unhelpful beliefs. In my free time, I enjoy spending time with my family, playing & listening to music, podcasting, writing, hiking, traveling, and playing table-top games. My relational life, as a therapist and otherwise, is guided by the principles of compassion and curiosity. I know we all are doing the best we can and my goal is always to increase compassion, curiously discover what is keeping us from having the life we dream of, and build tools and mindsets to help us move closer to that life. I give you a lot of credit for reaching out and moving closer toward wellness! I look forward to meeting you and determining if we're a good fit to work together!

12 years offering treatment
I am a fully licensed professional counselor and have dedicated my last 12 years to helping others overcome so many struggles in their lives. I believe in using solution focused techniques as well as a considerable emphasis on CBT/REBT to help clients with excessive anxiety. I am also a nationally certified adult ADHD counselor, ADHD-CCSP. I am a big believer in helping my people learn and grow, so THEY can overcome their obstacles. Most of my clients see substantial gains in the first month or two. I am also a firm believer in teaching core mental health principles and then helping my people utilize that knowledge to tackle their underlying problems, I'm not a “just sit and question” kind of counselor. A little about me: I started my helping journey in 2003, at 28 years old, when I went to Arkansas State University. I received a degree in psychology and went out to work in the mental health community. I loved my work and decided to go back. I graduated with my Ed.S. in mental health counseling in 2011 and have been helping as a licensed counselor since 2012, and love my work. Thanks for reading and if you think we are a fit, I look forward to talking to you very soon. :-)
