Cheryl O’Neill, MA

Registered Psychotherapist

Clinical Approach

Cheryl O’Neill is a therapist, registered with the College of Registered Psychotherapist of Ontario. She is available to work with clients located in Ontario in-person and virtually. She treats primarily adults and adolescents, ages 12 and up.

Do you constantly worry or obsess? Cheryl O'Neill has a passion for helping clients overcome symptoms of Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD), anxiety disorders, and representations of trauma. Cheryl continually ensures that she approaches her work from a knowledgeable place, not only by practicing evidence-based therapeutic interventions but also by recognizing the complexities and nuances of commonly misunderstood mental health issues. She believes that psychotherapy is most effective when the client feels supported and the work is collaborative.

Cheryl specializes in tailoring exposure and response prevention (ERP), which is the gold standard treatment for OCD. Her goal is to walk alongside clients, helping them take the big, sometimes scary steps necessary to move toward wellness.

Understanding that each client has their own unique journey, Cheryl feels honored by each opportunity she has to support a struggling individual, if only briefly, and appreciates the bravery required to ask for help. If you are struggling and feel alone right now, Cheryl encourages you to reach out; she would be more than happy to walk with you on this path of healing.
