Welcome to Counseling for the Soul!
As heard on radio stations across the USA including:
You know life is precious but it's passing you by. You're struggling to fulfill your goals and dreams or just to get through the day. The weight of grief, loss, and trauma; anger, depression, and anxiety; or a simple lack of clarity, are obstacles thwarting your way. You know it's time to get free but you're tired and confused and wondering what to do.
Hi, I'm Cheryl Bartky and I use the power of creativity, mindfulness, positive and somatic psychologies, EMDR, Internal Family Systems informed therapy, and a soulful approach and array of tools to help you vanquish your pain and sorrow, your fear and worry, your guilt and confusion. I help you get unstuck so you can live your life fully. I help you once again, or perhaps for the very first time, become the hero of your unique and sacred life journey.
As a licensed professional clinical counselor, board certified dance-movement therapist, board certified life coach, experienced spiritual director and supervisor, published author and frequent radio guest, my passion is helping you live your life with meaning, purpose, resilience, and joy.

Here's what people are saying:
“My thinking has been positively influenced in significant ways in the course of our short time together. Thoughts that would typically cause me worry, a tight stomach, or feelings that elements in my life are wrong, broken, or dysfunctional – thanks to you – I now regard as opportunities that can be examined and may bring insight and learning. And this has made a profound difference. What also continues to resonate with me is this: disturbing circumstances—my personal history, bad relationships, uncertainties, arguments—no longer need to threaten me. Through our work together I’ve experienced that even though a vulnerable child may still reside in me, there is also a wise adult who can steer the boat, face the catastrophe, awaken from the nightmare, weather the conflicted relationship and bring head and heart back into working order.”
JB, Berkeley, CA
“I am feeling good, full of my old optimism. I feel that I have fully rejoined life. When I think now of my son it is with love and fondness and the sudden heart-rending pain is gone. I fully believe this is because of the EMDR and your amazing work with me. I feel as if my grief, although still sad, is not debilitating as it was; is not ruling my life, my every moment. You are an angel in my life and I will treasure the time we spent together forever as you held my hand through the darkness to the light that you always knew was there.”
LK, Walnut Creek, CA
