Sharanjeet (Sharan) Chahal

Cedar Ridge Counseling Provider
Welcome. I am glad you are here taking the first step in helping yourself. I am a licensed clinical professional counselor with more than 12 years of experience providing counseling to individuals, couples, and families. I enjoy working with children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families who are ready for change, need support during difficult times, or looking for someone to talk with for peace of mind.

My approach to therapy is to be able to provide a safe, supportive, accepting, and positive space for you to discuss your concerns. I recognize that there is no ‘one size fits all’ approach to therapy and find it important to collaborate with you. I am compassionate, solution-focused, and experienced in a full range of evidence-based therapies.

I also enjoy using grounding and mindfulness-based stress reduction techniques. I work with individuals suffering from depression, anxiety, ADHD, mood disorders, adjustment disorder, relationship issues, divorce, grief, and trauma. I also have worked with many couples in couples and marriage counseling the last several years.
