Cheryl Arata, LCSW, received a Master in Social Work in 1987.  She took additional coursework, post masters, to obtain her Type 73, School Social Work certification.  She continues to provide psychotherapy to students and their families in the Chicago Public Schools.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Most recently, Cheryl Arata completed training in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) to enhance her work with trauma survivors and other related disorders.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Cheryl Arata is also a Certified Leader in MAPP which is a training to prepare Foster and/or Adoptive Parents. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Additionally, she wrote curriculum and trained caseworkers on a national level in the art of engaging parents and families in treatment. I believe in working with clients from a strengths perspective, helping people identify their own strategies to improve their current life situation.  It is my belief that during the course of our lives we may encounter unusual stressors due to aging, life transitions, and physical changes which may impact our ability to optimally function in both our inner and outer worlds.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;During our work together I may point out patterns that appear to be interfering with your functioning in order to help you gain clarity about how to impact your life.  Ultimately, my goal is to assist clients in gaining insight about their lives in order to positively influence his or her future functioning.
