Cheryl Zinkievich, LCSW-R, CASAC

I grew up in a small town where I learned about relationships and caring for others. I decided early on I wanted to help people. I began my career as a therapist in an outpatient drug and alcohol treatment program and soon added providing mental health therapy in an outpatient mental health clinic, primary care medical practice and inpatient treatment program. As I grew professionally I began teaching and leading others in their professional development as a clinical supervisor, program manager and Field Practicum Instructor for undergraduate and graduate students from the University of Rochester, Keuka College, and the SUNY Brockport and Nazareth College Collaborative.
