About Cheryl Harner, MSW, LCSW

Nestled in the heart of Boyertown, PA, Cheryl Harner, MSW, LCSW brings warmth, professionalism, and genuine care to every interaction as a licensed psychotherapist. With a Master’s degree in Social Work and years of hands-on experience, Cheryl specializes in guiding individuals and families through life’s challenges—whether coping with grief, navigating childhood struggles, or seeking deeper self-understanding. Her reputation in the community is built on a foundation of trust, compassion, and a steadfast commitment to creating positive change in the lives of her clients.

Insightful, Active Listening and Reflective Questioning

One of Cheryl’s signature strengths is her ability to listen deeply without leading—a quality that clients consistently praise. By posing thoughtful, open-ended questions, she invites you to explore your thoughts and feelings at your own pace. As one client shared: “She listens, doesn’t lead… asks questions that help me focus on important points.” Rather than handing out all the answers, Cheryl leaves you with meaningful “food for thought,” empowering you to integrate insights between sessions and cultivate lasting personal growth. This reflective approach transforms each meeting into a collaborative journey toward self-awareness and positive change.

Specialized Support for Children and Families

Helping children feel heard and understood is at the core of Cheryl’s practice. Parents often remark on her warm, child-friendly manner, noting how quickly their kids open up in her presence. “Cheryl is very kind, easy to talk to and made insightful points to my children,” one parent observed. Another celebrated how “one of my daughters opened up to Cheryl within minutes despite being like Fort Knox.” Whether addressing grief, anxiety, or everyday stressors, Cheryl’s gentle empathy and skillful rapport-building create a safe space where young clients can express themselves and begin healing.

Personalized, Outcome-Oriented Sessions

Cheryl knows that every client’s journey is unique, and she tailors her therapeutic approach to meet individual needs. By integrating evidence-based techniques with your personal goals, she strives to make every session productive and meaningful. While some clients have felt sessions could dive deeper into prior discussions, Cheryl takes that feedback seriously and continually refines her preparation process—reviewing notes and session highlights in advance—to ensure you always feel recognized and valued. Her dedication to personalizing each encounter helps keep your progress on track and maximizes the value you receive from every appointment.

A Safe, Nonjudgmental Space

From the moment you step into Cheryl’s office (or log in online), you’ll experience a sense of calm and acceptance. Many clients remark on how “comfortable” and “easy to talk to” she makes them feel, allowing issues that once felt overwhelming to surface in a judgment-free zone. Cheryl creates an atmosphere where honesty is encouraged, and vulnerability is met with unwavering support. This level of psychological safety not only fosters trust but also accelerates breakthroughs, enabling deeper exploration of sensitive topics and paving the way for genuine transformation.

Commitment to Continuous Growth and Client Satisfaction

Cheryl Harner’s practice is defined by ongoing learning and adaptability. She actively solicits client feedback to enhance her methods, ensuring each interaction builds on the last. If you ever feel a session falls short of expectations, Cheryl welcomes the opportunity to recalibrate and address your concerns—because your progress and satisfaction are her top priorities. By blending her hallmark empathy with a relentless drive for excellence, Cheryl consistently raises the bar for high-quality psychotherapy in Boyertown and beyond.
