About me

Hello and welcome!
My name is Ishmel Cerisier, I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and have been working in the field for over 5 years now. I graduated from Troy University with a Master of Science in Counseling & Psychology. I have experience working with clients dealing with Relationship issues, Depression, Anxiety, Stress, Grief, Self Esteem, Employment, LGBTQ, Women and Parenting issues. I have also worked with trauma-related disorders including sexual abuse, emotional neglect, and physical abuse. My approach is warm, compassionate, and I treat everyone with respect and understanding. I believe in a person-centered based perspective to empower each client within their individual needs and utilize several types of therapeutic modalities including cognitive-behavioral, dialectical-behavioral, psychodynamic, behavior modification, psychoeducational counseling, humanistic, existential, relaxation training, family systems, as well as crisis intervention.

It is my passion to work and treat a diversified group of people. My goal is to help clients feel better in the midst of their stressful experiences. My skills and experience have been known to empower individuals to achieve and reach their full potential.

She is excellent! Professional, trustworthy and licensed! Extremely genuine and kind. I would recommend her to anybody who is struggling and wants to grow or move beyond their issues. She is willing to hear you out completely, provide perspective and guidance. She has exceeded my expectations and I'm sure she'll exceed yours! Just to give you perspective: We are currently working on my chronic anxiety and depression which includes problematic thinking and some serious trust issues. What did she do for me? She actually listened and was a positive source in addition to my treatment. Definitely someone who can be relied for appointments and typically responds within an hour most of the time throughout the week via text. If you are teetering or are simply not sure on who your counselor should be, I'd give her a try. She might surprise you. She did me.
