Getting to know Cherlyn Walker
My name is Cherlyn Walker, and I have been a Licensed Professional Counselor in Texas for 14 years. I hold a doctoral degree in psychology, specializing in trauma and crisis, and a master’s degree in Counseling Psychology from Houston Christian University. I have experience working with children, adolescents, and adults. My clinical specialties include mood and anxiety disorders, trauma/PTSD, school and behavioral problems, ADHD, learning differences, spiritual issues, career and educational counseling, and other life adjustment challenges.
My approach to therapy varies depending on your clinical needs, symptoms, diagnosis, and preferences. I always use evidence-based interventions recommended for your diagnosis while checking your comfort level and adjusting my style accordingly. I encourage questions and open communication.
I use a variety of evidence-based interventions, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, EMDR, Cognitive Processing Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Psychodynamic therapy, and Mindfulness, among others. I also incorporate expressive therapies and play therapy when appropriate.
I work with clients ranging from age 6 to older adults, supporting people through serious mental health concerns and crises as well as everyday life challenges. My communication style is warm and friendly, aiming to make our time together comfortable yet productive. I strive to create a safe, encouraging, and non-judgmental space.
On a personal note, I have been married for almost 15 years. I love animals and have four dogs and two cats. I enjoy traveling, reading, painting, and studying foreign languages. I studied Spanish in high school and college and have been learning German for the past four years. I look forward to meeting you!
