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. My work centers on helping clients cultivate a deeper understanding of their lived experience as a pathway to meaningful growth. I focus particularly on uncovering and working through unconscious or difficult-to-express dimensions of experience.
Clinically, I draw from psychoanalytic and existential traditions 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. I have experience across private practice, academic settings, and large clinical settings, alongside insight shaped by my own lived experience.
Beyond my psychotherapy practice, I am a scholar, philosopher, and psychoanalytic theorist, engaged in independent research and academic writing. I currently teach as an Adjunct Professor at TWU while completing my Ph.D., and I am the founder of the (in development) Living Wisdom School of Philosophy.
