Getting to know Cherie Park

I believe therapy is most meaningful when it offers both insight and practical support. Together, we explore the deeper roots of what’s bringing you in while building tools that create meaningful change in everyday life. My work focuses on helping clients navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, attachment challenges, communication difficulties, life transitions, grief, and self-worth concerns. I am EMDR-trained to address traumatic memories and reactive triggers and blend psychodynamic theory with somatic IFS approaches to gain a deeper understanding of the roots of depression, anxiety, OCD, grief, addiction, low self-esteem, toxic relationships, and other maladaptive behaviors. With children and adolescents, I provide a supportive and engaging space to explore emotions, build confidence, and strengthen coping skills while working closely with parents and caregivers. With couples, I incorporate Gottman Method principles to improve communication, deepen emotional connection, navigate conflict more effectively, and rebuild trust, helping partners move out of stuck patterns and toward healthier, more connected relationships. I am LGBTQIA+, BIPOC, polyamory, and neurodivergent affirming, and strive to create a space where clients feel seen, respected, and supported in the fullness of who they are. Additional ACTION is required to finalize your booking with Cherie. If you book with Zocdoc, Stori's Care Coordinator will follow up with next steps to complete your booking. Cherie Park, Associate Marriage & Family Therapist and Associate Professional Clinical Counselor. Supervised by Olivia Einbund Gushansky, LMFT 129077
