Hello!

I’m Cherie Couvillon, a Clinical Mental Health Graduate Student Intern offering affordable counseling services to Her Time Therapy clients under the supervision of Meagan Clark, MA LPC NCC BC-TMH, and Adams State University professors.

As a woman who has maintained sobriety for over a decade, established a healthy relationship with food and my body, created a new life after divorce, and navigated transitions, I know firsthand the value of a skilled and compassionate professional when faced with adversity. My dedication to assisting other women has led me to pursue my Masters in Counseling.

My Approach to Therapy:

My approach to therapy is influenced by my 20 years of expertise as a health and wellness professional to support you in achieving the well-being that has been elusive to you. Together, we will identify strategies that empower you to navigate life's peaks and valleys as you grow into greater self-love, personal power, fulfillment, and well-being.

I honor each person's unique story through a holistic health lens, empowering them to discover personalized solutions. Utilizing evidence-based practices, skill development, and behavior-change solutions, I support women in finding effective strategies for their lives.

My Ideal Client:

Are you a woman stuck in an endless loop of diets and doctor's appointments, dreaming of the day you feel good in your body? If you're tired of a diet culture and medical system that doesn't work for you, it sounds like we would be a great fit to work together!

I am passionate about serving those struggling with anxiety, depression, and women’s issues such as low self-esteem due to societal or familial expectations, daily stressors, and life transitions.

The Concerns I Specialize in Treating:

Counseling for Anxiety

Through active listening and compassionate guidance, I assist women in understanding the root causes of their anxiety and developing coping strategies tailored to their unique needs. Utilizing evidence-based techniques such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and mindfulness practices, I empower clients to challenge negative thought patterns and cultivate a sense of calm and resilience. Together, we work towards fostering a deeper understanding of triggers and implementing practical solutions to navigate anxiety-provoking situations more effectively, ultimately promoting holistic well-being and a greater sense of control.

Counseling for Depression

Through a collaborative and compassionate approach, I create a safe space for women to explore their feelings and experiences. Drawing from various therapeutic modalities such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and solution-focused therapy, I work with women like you to identify underlying factors contributing to their depression and develop personalized coping strategies. Together, we focus on setting achievable goals, fostering resilience, addressing self-care practices, and enhancing social support networks. By providing validation, encouragement, and practical tools, I will work to empower you on your journey toward healing and support you in reclaiming a sense of hope and purpose in your life.

Counseling for Body Image Issues & Healthy Habit Development

Your mind is as important as your body when achieving your weight and health goals. Through a holistic approach, I have been helping people successfully lose weight, manage medical conditions, and transform their lives for 20 years. I support you in identifying behaviors and emotions that prevent successful weight loss, such as binge eating, emotional and mindless eating, self-image insecurities, anxiety, and life stress. Together, we'll identify strategies to help you change your eating habits, adopt healthy lifestyle habits, lose weight, and maintain your weight loss. You will build confidence and motivation to make healthy lifestyle changes and reach your goals.

Counseling for Death Preparation & Grief

Losing someone dear to you or learning that you have a terminal diagnosis that will lead to your death can feel devastating, leaving you with a profound sense of emptiness, anxiety, and uncertainty about the future or what to do next. As a trained End-of-Life Doula and a woman who has lost loved ones, I understand the unique journey of grief and the challenges it presents. While the path of grief may seem daunting to navigate alone, you don't have to endure it alone. Anticipatory grief (before the death) and bereavement (grief after the death) take on various forms for each individual, and processing your unique experience of grief in therapy can offer solace along the way. Together, we can explore your feelings, memories, and hopes, providing support and understanding as you find your way through the complexities of grief.

Counseling for Traumatic Stress & PTSD

I provide compassionate and specialized support to clients coping with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Creating a safe and trusting environment is paramount, allowing clients to explore their traumatic experiences at their own pace. I assist clients in processing their trauma memories, reducing distressing symptoms, and regaining a sense of control. Additionally, I collaborate with clients to develop personalized coping strategies and relaxation techniques to manage triggers and promote emotional regulation. Empowering clients to build resilience and reclaim their lives from the grip of PTSD is at the core of my therapeutic approach.

My Story:

Growing up in Louisiana, I eventually traded the bayous for the majestic mountains of Colorado in 2018. The allure of the outdoors beckoned me, drawing me into long mountain hikes and the challenge of technical rock climbing in the canyons. Colorado's serene mountain environment, crisp air, and breathtaking natural beauty became my sanctuary, aiding me in managing stress and nurturing inner peace. Engaging in physical activities amidst such splendor not only brings me a profound sense of achievement but also deepens my gratitude for the remarkable capabilities of my body. These outdoor pursuits offer me more than just thrills; they serve as fertile ground for personal growth and self-discovery, fostering a profound acceptance and harmony with my body—a journey that eluded me for 30 years of dieting.
