I am licensed in Florida with 5 years of postgraduate clinical experience. I have worked with varied populations helping clients with many presenting problems including family issues, stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, past trauma, and depression.
A little about my background: I started my career before I’d graduated college, working at a crisis hotline. I went on to work with individuals struggling with severe and persistent mental illnesses in community mental health both before and after graduate school. Once licensed, I was able to expand the reach of my practice, working with more children, families, couples and individuals, who may or may not have had a mental health diagnosis.
I’ve also learned so much over the past several years since becoming a mom, that I now feel that’s my best qualification- the journey of healing, learning and growth that I’ve personally taken. I know that it has made me a better therapist, and built a new motivation to help others.
I work with my clients to create an open and safe environment where thoughts and feelings can be shared without fear of judgment. It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. I am here to support & empower you in that journey.

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Alicia Cherrybon. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
Dr. Cherrybon is an incredibly helpful and diligent therapist who immediately gave me tools to help address my anxiety and sleeping troubles. There are many things I didn't even know about myself (one specifically being how ADHD affects my mood, behaviors, and relationships) that she enlightened me of and gave me the tools to work with to make my life better. She is kind, passionate about helping, and clearly talented at what she does. She is easy to talk to as well, and every session has been beneficial in ways I wasn't expecting. I would definitely recommend her as a therapist, as she is easily the best I have worked with!
