Cheron Zekavat, Therapist
Over the past twenty years I have cultivated a therapeutic approach that centers on individual treatment needs, and utilizes evidence-based practices, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. My therapeutic style is collaborative, strengths based, and incorporates acceptance with practical skill development. The goal of treatment is to help clients find their paths through difficult experiences and be more present in their lives.
I have extensive experience working with adults, older teens and couples, and have helped clients succeed in overcoming a variety of issues including anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, adjustment disorders, relationship problems, psychotic disorders and personality disorders. I have worked in a wide range of environments that include private practice, field based and community mental health settings. My professional and personal experience also includes partnerships with like-minded colleagues to ensure therapy is delivered in a warm, nurturing and healing environment that facilitates integrated treatment of the mind, body and spirit.
