A Word from Cherie:
Dear SUPER Woman, Life is like strands of Christmas lights thrown in a box, a tangled mess that needs to be sorted. However, if you hold one end and I hold one end, we can sort them out much quicker. THAT is counseling! I believe that EVERYONE gets to a place in life where friends and family are too close to help. Counseling is the place for you to explore your thoughts and feelings in a confidential, nonjudgmental, safe place. Together, you and I will build a healthy therapeutic relationship, where I will help you discover more about yourself and your patterns of behavior. If your past is haunting your present, and you are ready to RETIRE YOUR CAPE, now is a good time to schedule an appointment. Together, we will develop a plan to help you create the life you desire and DESERVE. ~Cherie~ |
