Cheryl Weldon
I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with over 20 years experience in the mental health field. My speciality is working with children and adolescents and I have worked in both outpatient clinics and group home setting; starting out as an intern and advancing to a Clincial and Program Director.
I have published a workbook and facilitator manual for anger management titled Anger Management: You Do Have a Choice.
When I was a teenager, I was inspired by the television show "the Waltons" and over the years filled over twenty journals and notebooks with my written thoughts. I began to write fictional novels and have published the following:
- Mystery in the High Country
- Sarah Finds Love
- 3 Fillies & a Colt
- You Are Mine
I have a variety of interests. I love animals, especially cats and horses. I currently own a young buckskin mare that I learned to train; and a big white fluffy elderly cat who I captured as a feral kitten.
I like most sports. My favorites to watch are hockey and tennis with my favorite hockey team being the Colorado Avalanche and my favorite tennis player, Roger Federer. I enjoy playing volleyball and softball but no longer participate in active competition in those sports.
I like all genres of music, but prefer Comtemporary Christian works and classical rock. I love the mountains; grew up in Colorado and currently live in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada Mountains.
