About — Oak Tree Counseling & Wellness

Welcome,

My name is Chereen.

I created Oak Tree Counseling and Wellness to be your home for mental health, yoga and wellness!

The mighty oak grows from the tiny acorn.

The therapy field overlooks the body's role, while somatic work lacks clear steps for healing, missing the holistic human potential.

I created Oak Tree Counseling and Wellness to be a balance between the extremes I saw in the field; one was too cognitive and one was too metaphysical. I found there was no real ground on how to best find the full range of human potential; physical, emotional, mental and spiritual.

My passion is empowering people. I hate disingenuous concepts of healing; I believe you need a combination of tools and the right fit and you can find the light within yourself.

I love bringing people together to learn first-hand how to create balance in mind, body and soul.

All areas of our lives are connected.

Right brain and left-brain healing are my mission. I believe we must unlock our nervous system to move forward.

Working with me or my team you will feel seen, heard and validated.
