Cherri Crisp (LPC)

Hi there! My name is Cherri and I am a licensed professional counselor. I have over 20 years experience working in the mental health field. I have worked in a variety of settings including residential, community agency, outpatient, school-based, and virtual. Although that seems like a mouthful, it simply means that I have had experience working with a broad range and severity of clinical issues. I have the most experience working with anxiety, depression, stress reduction, family/relationship conflicts, life transitions, and complex trauma/abuse, I also have experience working with intellectual/developmental disabilities, and mild autism. I use a person-centered, holistic, and integrative approach in treatment. This means I begin where you are and tailor the treatment approach to your needs while being sensitive to how your individual cultural identities and lifestyle choices impact your experience. I primarily use evidence based techniques including cognitive-behavioral therapy, dialectal behavior therapy, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused counseling. I would describe my style as warm and supportive, and I am ready to help you tackle your struggle head-on. Collaboration is important – together we can work on establishing concrete goals and steps for you to help overcome your current problems. If you are looking for quick fixes, I am not the best counselor to work with. I believe in taking time and working on wellness slowly, holistically, and consistently. Just as physical health takes time and consistency, so does mental health. I look forward to helping you in any way I can! My goal is to assist people in working towards fulfilling their fullest potential, healing, and regaining a new perspective on life. Congratulations on taking those first steps to seek change. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support you. I am looking forward to working with you!
