Cheryl R. Azlin

Antioch University
Home Faculty Directory Cheryl R. Azlin

Dr. Azlin started her professional career on a nursing track. In 1981, she became a Registered Nurse and worked as a specialist in perinatal nursing for 10 years. During that time, she became very interested in the integration of psychological theory and biological/medical theories and practice, completing undergraduate and graduate degrees in psychology.

She earned her doctorate in Clinical Psychology at Fuller Graduate School of Psychology in 1993. She then completed her doctoral internship at Boston Children’s Hospital/Harvard Medical School, with intensive training in inpatient child psychiatry, pediatric behavioral medicine, consultation to medical units, and psychological testing. While continuing to specialize in her psychological work with children and adolescents, Dr. Azlin did further post-doctoral work at the North Shore Children’s Hospital, in Salem Massachusetts.

In the following years, she developed a private practice working with children, families, couples, and individuals. In addition, she worked as adjunct faculty at several universities. Relocating to Seattle in 2008, she has worked in faculty positions and as a consultant to PsyD program development.

Dr. Azlin’s theoretical orientation combines interpersonal, psychodynamic, and existential traditions. However, she has also trained under several theoretical orientations, including structural/strategic family therapies, and makes use of multi-modal treatment methods to best address the needs of her clients. She is now applying this broad background to facilitate the theoretical and clinical training of doctoral students at AUS and maintains a small private practice in Redmond, WA. Dr. Azlin is currently focused on helping AUS doctoral psychology students to uniquely create and develop their own careers as psychologists.
