Spirit and Logic, Inc. Person-Centered Counseling

Welcome! I am Chera Sabankaya, horse behaviorist of 30 years, National Certified Counselor, recent Summa Cum Laude graduate of Southern Oregon University's Masters in Mental Health Counseling Program, and member of AMHCA (American Mental Health Counselors Assoc). My goal is not to treat you as an ill patient, but to work with you as a partner, providing a safe space in which to explore the deep, underlying feelings and beliefs that have blocked you from reaching your full potential and developing fulfilling connections with others. I consider it a privilege to walk with you on your life's journey.

I call my approach to counseling "Spirit and Logic," with Spirit representing my compassionate belief that no living being is innately bad, and Logic referring to my duty as a caregiver to continually educate myself and my clients on the developing science of the body/behavior-mind/thought connection.

I have a minor in criminology and one year's experience counseling felony probationers/parolees with relapse prevention and community reintegration. I also worked as a primary therapist for Siskiyou County Behavioral Health's Children's System of Care for over one year.
