Cheryl Velasquez, LCSW

Psychotherapist
NC
My name is Cheryl Velasquez, MSW, LCSW, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker dedicated to helping individuals navigate life's challenges with compassion, respect, and evidence-based care. I believe every person has a unique story, and my goal is to provide a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental environment where you feel heard, understood, and empowered. Therapy is not about being "fixed." It is about discovering your strengths, building resilience, developing healthy coping strategies, and creating meaningful, lasting change. My therapeutic approach is collaborative and individualized. I draw from several evidence-based treatment modalities, including: I believe that healing happens through genuine connection, curiosity, and compassion. Together, we will identify your goals, explore barriers that may be preventing you from living the life you want, and develop practical tools to help you move forward with confidence. Outside of the therapy room, I enjoy spending time with my cats, taking walks, and being outdoors. These simple moments help me stay grounded and remind me of the importance of balance, mindfulness, and self-care—principles I also encourage my clients to explore in their own lives. Whether you are beginning therapy for the first time or returning after a break, I recognize that asking for help can feel overwhelming. I consider it a privilege to walk alongside you in your journey toward healing, growth, and wellness. I look forward to working with you.

It’s common for mental health providers to be out-of-network. Many insurance plans offer out-of-network coverage, so you may get partially reimbursed. Learn more

More information on payments and coverage

Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider's self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan's benefits.
