Cherie Felzer , LMFT

Cherie Felzer invites people to return to themselves and to the deeper sense of who they are. She combines a background in somatic work and movement with formal training in counseling to guide clients through periods of stuckness, grief, and life transition. Drawing on years of embodied practice, clinical education, and varied experiences with elders living with dementia, women in recovery, veterans, youth rites of passage, and students, she offers a practice that honors both the body and the story it holds.

Cherie works from a grounded, compassionate stance and brings a calm, steady presence to sessions. As a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist - LMFT - she integrates somatic awareness, mindfulness, and attachment-informed perspectives to help people reconnect with their bodies, relationships, and sense of purpose. Her approach emphasizes listening to physical sensations, exploring relational patterns, and discovering practical ways to move through emotional pain toward greater aliveness and meaning.

She frames therapy as a collaborative journey, accompanying clients as they read their own map and find ways forward. Cherie aims to foster self-compassion, resilience, and authenticity, supporting people to uncover resources in their bodies and in their connection to others and the natural world. Her practice centers on helping clients access greater freedom, clarity, and a renewed sense of life purpose.

Somatic, Attachment, and Mindfulness Approaches for Online Care

Cherie uses somatic therapy to help clients tune into bodily sensations and movements as gateways to emotional healing; this approach supports people working with trauma, stress, and patterns that feel stuck by attending to how emotions show up in the body. She also draws on mindfulness therapy to cultivate present-moment awareness and gentle attention to thought and feeling, which can reduce reactivity and build self-regulation skills for anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Attachment-based therapy is another thread in her work, exploring how early relationship patterns influence current connections and providing opportunities to develop more secure, nourishing ways of relating.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Cherie collaborates with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as therapy unfolds so it remains relevant and useful.

Online therapy with Cherie can take place by video call, phone session, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for busy schedules, limited mobility, or geographic constraints. These options make it easier to maintain consistent care, integrate therapeutic practices into daily life, and access support from wherever a client is located within the provider's service area.
