I am a licensed professional counselor in the state of Tennessee. I have counseled in several environments to include community mental health, academic, medical and military settings. My clientele is often diverse typically facing phase of life challenges, anxiety, depression, divorce, relationship issues, parent and child conflict, trauma and grief.
No matter the setting or the client my goal is to listen, meet you where you are, understand your goals and provide support on your journey.
I believe the past shapes the present but does not have to define the future. Using an integrative approach by combining complementary aspects of different theories I tailor a treatment plan specific to you and your needs. I draw from solution focused brief therapy, cognitive-behavioral therapy, internal family systems, acceptance and commitment therapy and existential therapy.
If you are reading this, you have surmounted a major challenge... acknowledging the need for help. I will not promise it will be easy; but, I am here for you. You are not alone. I will be with you every step of the way. I believe you are ready to pursue a better life. Allow me to support and empower you on your journey.

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Cherilyn Padgett. 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.
Cherilyn seamlessly balances each session with a great deal of safety, care, rigor, and reflection. I am grateful for how Cherilyn celebrates my ways of knowing and being and folds that into the assigned work and session conversation.

Cherilyn is more personable than I expected a therapist to be. She truly listens, and has compassion and empathy. Even when I’ve been a little hostile, she allowed me to have my feelings, patiently waiting for me to pull myself together and revamp. I hope her own therapist is as good as she is.

She is very kind, warm hearted and considerate. I got a lot of help from her to get through my stress and anxiety. She was a great listener and a good advisor. I wish her the best!
