Cherie Felzer, LMFT

Cherie Felzer combines somatic practices, movement awareness, and counseling to help people reconnect with their inner experience and life purpose. Her approach draws on formal training in somatic counseling psychology and professional licensure as an LMFT (Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist). She brings a long personal engagement with movement and contemplative practice into clinical work, using the body as an entry point for emotional and relational change.

Her clinical experience includes working somatically with elders living with dementia, business and law students, women in recovery, military veterans, youth participating in rites of passage, and children in nature. These varied settings have informed a practice attuned to how stuckness, transition, and struggle present in the body, relationships, and daily life. That background shapes how she supports clients through practical shifts in coping and self-understanding.

Cherie offers a calm, steady presence paired with reverence and joy for life, inviting clients to notice bodily signals, strengthen connection with themselves and others, and draw on the natural world as a resource. She integrates attachment-based, client-centered, mindfulness, and somatic therapy approaches to address stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family concerns, grief, addictions, intimacy-related issues, parenting challenges, compassion fatigue, and questions of meaning and purpose. Her additional focus areas include cancer, hospice and end-of-life counseling, isolation and loneliness, life purpose, and self-love.

In sessions she acts as a companion and guide, collaborating with clients to explore what moves them forward. She frames the work as a shared process of reading and navigating each person’s map, supporting practical steps toward greater aliveness, freedom, and authenticity.
