Introduction
I am licensed to practice in the State of Missouri. If you are seeking therapy via phone or video sessions, please note that you must reside within Missouri. I enjoy offering in person sessions as well. If you’re exploring therapy, chances are you’re looking for a safe, supportive space where you can gain clarity and insight into your current challenges. My goal is to help you shift your perspective, discover new ways of coping, and provide you with tools to move forward in a healthy, empowered way. I’m especially passionate about making high-quality counseling services accessible to individuals and families in rural Missouri—including my hometown of Warsaw. Whether you’re located in Kansas City or a smaller town across the state, I offer secure, HIPAA-compliant sessions via phone or video to meet you where you are. Being a therapist is more than a job—it’s a privilege. I see humanity at both its most vulnerable and its most resilient. Everyone who comes to therapy has a unique story to share, and I believe that story deserves to be heard with compassion and care. I find great joy in helping people process their experiences, own their narratives, and move toward more satisfying, fulfilling lives. Since 2013, I’ve been honored to walk alongside my clients on their healing journeys. Many have told me they feel truly heard, understood, and supported in our sessions. There’s no greater reward than seeing a client finish therapy with renewed strength—and knowing they can return at any point if life brings new challenges. ⸻

As a lifelong seeker of truth, I have experienced several different counseling relationships. Finding Cheryl has been a true blessing for both my wife and me. She has been a life-saving presence in our lives. She has created an incredibly safe space for us to begin a journey to understanding, healing and a stronger bond of love. I highly recommend working with her. It will change your life.

Had to cancel because of strenuous circumstances. Texted contact number with no reply so i felt bad and sent an email via thumbtack asking for a reply. Finally texted back 30 minutes before scheduled evening session and said she would reschedule. Never did even after text message and thumbtack messanger. Just letting us know either way would have been courteous. I felt so bad and did my research to not blow her off so hoped for the same reciprocation. Never met. Never heard from again.
Thrive Counseling's reply
Hi Becca, thank you for sharing your concern. I know you tried to reach me to cancel your session approximately 4 hours prior to meeting. I sincerely appreciate the effort you made to be courteous and give me advance notice; that's very thoughtful of you. However, I was in sessions and booked solid and was unable to get to your messages until 30 minutes prior to your scheduled session. Since you were canceling I'm confused as to why you were upset with me and not more understanding of the realization that I replied immediately once I received your message. I do regret us not being able to reschedule your session and hope you found a counselor to work with. We did not charge you a late cancellation although that is our policy for same day cancellations. If there is something more I can do to rectify the situation please let me know. Again, I apologize for the unfortunate circumstances that left you feeling disappointed. Thank you, Cheryl
