Cheri L. Hausmann LMFT PhD-Candidate
I am an insight-based marriage and family therapist with a background in wellness, history, and philosophy. I specialize in self-identity and relationship dynamics as a trained family systems therapist. On a personal level, I seek to help clients cultivate a deeper understanding of their own experiences as a pathway for meaningful growth. My specialty includes helping clients uncover and work through unconscious or difficult-to-express aspects of their experience.
From a clinical perspective, I draw on psychoanalytic and existential approaches rooted in object relations theory. As a doctoral candidate, my research explores the relational and existential dimensions of grief, reflecting my commitment to understanding the deeper forces that shape healing. With experience across private practice, academia, and large clinical settings, as well as direct experience within my own life.
Where I come From
I am originally from the East Coast, born in New Jersey. I was primarily raised in Levittown, Pennsylvania, just outside of Philadelphia, America’s original postwar suburbs. My parents later moved to Texas, where I attended Flower Mound High School. We also lived in Virginia. My family comes from a background of military service, having lived through two World Wars and the transitional 1960s and 1970s. Beyond my psychotherapy practice, I am a scholar and philosopher/historian, and create content for my independent research and academic channel, Historic Reason. I also currently teach as an Adjunct Professor/GTA at TWU, where I am completing my Ph.D. Since moving to Texas, I’ve primarily lived in Denton, but I’ve also spent time in Austin, Kaufman, Florida’s Space Coast, and Dallas.
