Light of Christ

I came that they may have life and have it abundantly.
John 10:10

I lift my eyes to the hills. From whence does my help come? My help comes from the Lord, who made heaven and earth.
Psalm 121:1-2

Trust in Him at all times, O people; pour out your heart before Him; God is a refuge for us.
Psalm 62:8

There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.
Romans 8:1

Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, and before you were born I consecrated you.
Jeremiah 1:5

For you did not receive the spirit of slavery to fall back into fear, but you have received the spirit of sonship. When we cry, “Abba Father” it is the spirit himself bearing witness with our spirit that we are children of God.
Romans 8:15 – 16

How Can Talk Therapy be Helpful?

My goal for therapy is to create a safe nonjudgemental place where clients can be seen and heard using trauma-informed, evidence based interventions and empathy. Together we can work through what you are struggling with. Having an objective person with mental health training and expertise to collaborate with will hopefully bring some clarity, growth, freedom and comfort.

Why Christian or Faith-Based Counseling?

In my own experience, incorporating my spirituality into my mental health journey has been very beneficial. Meditation and mindfulness can help calm our central nervous system and heal our brains through neuroplasticity.

How Much Does Each Session Cost?

Initial consultation is $200 and follow up sessions are $150. This is a private pay fee and I do not accept insurance. Please contact your insurance company prior to making an appointment to confirm they will reimburse you. I will provide the Superbill that most insurance companies require for reimbursement. There is a $75 fee for missed appointments if cancelled less than 48 hours prior to the appointment. Veterans, active military, and first responders are eligible for 20% discount.

How can Spirituality be Incorporated into Therapy?

If you want to incorporate Christian prayer, meditation and/or mindfulness into our sessions, that is completely up to you. I am not a pastor and do not provide spiritual direction. I simply lean into scripture and prayer, with permission from the client, as a tool to bring healing and comfort for fellow believers.

How Many Sessions Do I Need?

The amount of sessions depends upon what you need, what your goals are for therapy, and how often we meet. We will have a better idea once we discuss what issues you would like to work on and how therapy can help.

Meet Cheryl Ferreira JD, MA, LCMHC

My name is Cheryl Ferreira and I am a licensed clinical mental health counselor in the state of New Hampshire. I have a bachelor’s degree in Theology from the Franciscan University of Steubenville, a Juris Doctor from the Massachusetts School of Law, and a master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from George Fox University. I have been a youth minister, a corporate attorney and now a therapist.

My clinical experience began by working with highly traumatized and diverse individuals in correctional facilities, many with addictions and personality disorders. More recently I have been working in the private sector with clients who have anxiety, trauma, depression, grief, loss and other mental health issues.

In my own healing journey and through my studies, I have learned that feeling our feelings, processing and expressing them in healthy ways, is the path to healing and being free from trauma, depression, anxiety and whatever struggles we are having. Good mental health is a journey; and we are all works in progress moving ever closer to feeling safety, hope, and joy. I consider it a privilege and a blessing to be on your journey with you.
