Hello! My name is Cherie Smith. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with special interest in mental health and substance abuse. I have over 10 years of experience working in the counseling field. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, career challenges, OCD, ADHD, etc. I also helped many people who have experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse.
My counseling style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating anyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, motivational interviewing, mindfulness, among other methods. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. My goal is to meet you where you are and come alongside you in a collaboration effort to help you achieve optimal mental health.
It takes courage to seek for a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you.
I look forward to working with you!

I am enjoying working with a Cherie and she is giving me so my insightful things to think about. She listens and it’s nice to have someone just listen and be there as a professional
