Please help us welcome Caroline Cheek, LPC to our practice, we are excited for her to join us on May 5th!
Caroline is an Art Therapist and her approach is all about you—your experiences, your feelings, and your unique path toward healing.

"I believe that meaningful change starts with feeling truly seen, heard, and understood. My role is to walk alongside you, offering a safe and supportive space where creativity becomes a tool for deeper connection and healing.

Psychodynamically trained, I specialize in working with attachment issues, understanding how early and ongoing relationships shape how you connect with yourself and others. My approach is trauma-informed and client-centered, honoring your unique experiences and pacing. I integrate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) techniques to help you identify and reframe unhelpful thought patterns, build coping skills, and gain clarity around difficult emotions. Additionally, I draw on Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT) principles to help you deepen your emotional awareness, enhance emotional regulation, and build stronger, more secure connections.

Combining these evidence-based approaches with art therapy allows you to access emotions and insights that words alone may not reach, offering new pathways toward healing and growth. I hold a Master of Arts in Art Therapy from NYU and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor. Building a genuine, trusting relationship is at the heart of my work. I’m here to support you in cultivating healthier, more meaningful connections with yourself and others through creativity and compassion. Healing is a creative journey, and I would be honored to walk that path with you. Feel free to reach out—I’d love to explore how therapy can support your healing and growth".
