Therapy for Women Struggling to Balance it All

Helping you survive the constant demands of your career, your relationship, parenting and helping your aging parents.

In your 40s or 50s you might be wondering…

  • How do I become more confident about my parenting?

  • Is it time for a career shift?

  • Am I happy in my relationship?

  • How do I decide if it’s time for my parents to have more care?

  • Why is it so hard to say NO?

  • When do I get to live MY life?

  • Is this it? Shouldn’t my life be more exciting than this?

  • Why is it so hard to make friends now that I’m older?

  • My kids are grown — how do I start a new chapter?

  • Why is my anxiety getting worse no matter what I try?

Therapy is all about YOU!

When was the last time you took time to focus on yourself? Therapy gives you that space—a full hour each week that’s just for you. It’s a chance to step away from the noise and expectations of the outside world and tune in to your own thoughts, feelings, worries, fears, hopes, and dreams. There’s no judgment here, no pressure to be anyone but yourself, and no limits on how big you can dream. It’s your time to be honest, to heal, to grow, and to figure out what you really want—without the biased opinions of others getting in the way.

What To Expect:

Therapy should feel like a conversation with someone who truly gets it—someone who listens without judgment but also helps you figure out what’s next.

  • The Present

    How is your anxiety or stress affecting your daily life and relationships? What are your default responses to stress, conflict or making decisions? What’s working for you and what is holding you back?

  • The Past

    How did you learn these patterns? What were you taught about conflict? What experiences in your life have shaped the way you relate to others or respond to stress?

  • The Future

    This is the fun part! How do you want things to be different? Let’s practice new skills, create new patterns and create a life you are excited about!

Hi, I’m Cheryl Somers

Therapist, Former Teacher, Parent Coach, Mom

I have spent most of my career working with teenagers, young adults, and moms of teenagers. I do my best work with clients I can connect with and who are ready to dig deep and make meaningful changes in their lives. Whether it's teenagers, college students, or moms in their 50s, I love helping women let go of the expectations of others, say goodbye to old perfectionist/people-pleasing patterns, set meaningful boundaries, and start living a life they love!

Whether you're struggling with unmanaged anxiety, family expectations, relationships that aren’t working, parenting, caring for aging parents or just the overwhelm of life, I can offer you an unbiased, outside perspective and practical strategies to help you move forward with more purpose and more confidence.

My appproach to therapy reflects all sides of me -- therapist, teacher, and mom of two adult daughters. I am an active listener, fully engaged in understanding your thoughts and emotions. My goal is not to simply listen, though. My goal is to notice patterns, inconsistencies or recurring themes in our conversations so that we can explore those in more depth. I find that the greatest insights often come from highlighting your own patterns so you can take a hard look at what's serving you well and what needs to change. In our sessions, my tone is warm and adaptable, incorporating humor, enthusiasm, respect, and calmness to create a comfortable space for growth. I am always on the lookout for your strengths and will frequently highlight and reflect them back to you in an effort to show you that you are already far more capable than you might believe.

Our work together isn’t just about venting or going in circles—we’ll focus on real solutions. While processing emotions and understanding your past is important, I also want you to walk away from each session with practical tools and a clearer path forward. Whether it’s tackling anxiety, handling difficult conversations and setting boundaries with your loved ones, or making decisions that align with your values, my goal is to help you take meaningful steps toward the life you want.
