Cheryl Cebula, MSW, ACSW has been on the LIOS faculty since 1994—originally as a counseling track faculty and most recently as the lead for the Core Track in the Winter Program. She started her training as a family therapist in graduate school at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. In the 25 years since then, she has continued to follow her fascination in the interdependence of all things. This interest has drawn her to the study of the interplay of the psyche, spirit and body within and between people. As a result, her current venues of study and play are mindfulness and the power of interpersonal neurobiology, the clinical applications of meditation, and the psychology of yoga. She weaves mindfulness, meditation, and yoga into her work with clients, graduate students, and yoga students.

Cheryl collaborates with her colleague Dr. Timothy Weber on Intensive Family of Origin Consultations—a 12-hour consultation method utilizing conversations of “love and truth” between original family members. This work braids together her interest in the interdependence of all things and the healing power of an evolving family narrative. Ms. Cebula has worked in community mental health for ten years, both in clinical services and administration. Prior to teaching at LIOS Cheryl worked in community mental health as a clinician and administrator and taught as adjunct faculty at Antioch University-Seattle and Seattle University.
