Cherie Truax

I am a licensed social worker with a master’s degree in clinical social work from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. I have experience with a variety of populations and cultures, from young children to older adults, and I have spent time doing international social work in Greece and Ukraine. For the last two years, I have worked in a hospital setting on an acute inpatient behavioral health unit. While at the hospital, I provided individual, group and family therapy to children and adolescents. I worked with people struggling with depression, anxiety, trauma, gender dysphoria, and adjustment disorders. I also have experience working with unaccompanied minors and those experiencing homelessness in the Champaign area. I primarily use the following treatment modalities: cognitive behavioral therapy, solution focused therapy, person centered therapy, strengths-based therapy, mindfulness and DBT. I’m excited to begin working with you on your journey towards healing and peace from within.
