Getting to know Cheryl Polyudhapoom

Hi there, I'm Cheryl! My name is Cheryl Polyudhapoom, and I am a licensed clinical social worker in California. I earned my Master’s in Social Work from San José State University. I approach therapy from a humanistic perspective and believe that everyone deserves to be heard and treated respectfully. My approach I focus on gestalt therapy because I recognize that each individual has unique needs. I believe it’s best to provide what the client needs by drawing from various theoretical approaches rather than sticking to just one. My focus I have worked with people experiencing anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, and more. My communication style My communication style is easygoing and designed to make you feel comfortable and safe to share what you’re going through. My journey to therapy I became a social worker in 2008 and have worked extensively in Child Welfare Services. In this role, I served children, youth, and families in many capacities, including investigative work alongside law enforcement and first responders, voluntary family support, and working with foster youth and parents. I collaborated with schools, mental health providers, hospitals, and medical professionals. I also provided therapy to children and adults at a nonprofit. Additionally, I am a supervisor and enjoy guiding, supporting, and teaching those under my supervision. I decided to open my own practice and work as a therapist full-time because I enjoy helping people in this capacity and believe I can reach more individuals beyond Child Welfare. Becoming a mom also motivated me to seek the flexibility that comes with having my own practice. Ultimately, helping people is what led me to become a therapist. I look forward to meeting you! My goals for you I guide while you decide! You set your goals, and together we create the steps to reach them. Sometimes that includes homework.
