Cheerful Press Studio
The Therapy Worksheets We Always Needed
Faith-affirming, trauma-informed worksheets and workbooks made by a licensed therapist, for the women who carry a lot, and for the clinicians who walk with them. A brand of Cheerful Heart Mental Health Counseling.
What It Is
Cheerful Press Studio is a shop where the tools I use in the therapy room become worksheets you can use too. Guides, workbooks, and printables. All faith-affirming, trauma-informed, and made for clinicians to use in their practice and for clients’ self-paced practice.
Why I Made It
As a licensed therapist and a woman who spent years being the strong one, holding everything together while unraveling, I kept looking for resources that understood my experience. When I couldn’t find them, I started creating worksheets I felt would better relate to my clients’ unique experiences. They were a hit! My clients found them to be helpful.
So, I started making more, and Cheerful Press Studio was born. We provide the therapy worksheets you always needed at a reasonable price.
