About Cheryl
Dr. Cheryl Mims is a licensed clinical social worker with four decades of experience in California. She helps people who are coping with stress, anxiety, grief, bipolar disorder, and depression. Her work focuses on building an open, nonjudgmental space where people can name and talk through what feels hard.
She begins by listening closely to each person's story and priorities. Sessions are aimed at understanding current struggles and identifying small, practical steps forward. Conversations often include ways to manage overwhelming feelings, improve daily routines, and reduce the impact of panic or mood swings.
Dr. Mims uses a client-centered stance that keeps the person's goals central. She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to notice unhelpful thinking patterns and to try new behaviors. Emotionally-Focused Therapy is used when relationship and intimacy issues are part of the concern.
Her approach is steady and straightforward. She works with people on communication problems, infidelity, self-esteem, and coping with life changes. She also has experience with veteran and armed forces issues and with attention-related struggles such as ADHD.
People who prefer clear guidance and a calm, empathetic listener may find her style helpful. Starting therapy can feel hard, and Dr. Mims aims to make each step understandable and manageable.
