Dr. Sevenise P Cherelus, NP — Psychiatrist in Florida

Hi there, I'm Dr. Sevenise!

I specialize in mental health and substance use disorders. My approach to care is patient-centered, compassionate, and collaborative, focusing on helping individuals achieve stability and long-term well-being. I am dedicated to providing evidence-based treatment tailored to each patient's unique needs.

My focus

I primarily work with adults struggling with substance use disorders, depression, anxiety, PTSD, and mood disorders. I have extensive experience supporting individuals in various stages of recovery, including those in Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP) and other structured treatment settings.

My approach

I take a holistic and integrative approach to mental healthcare, combining medication management with therapeutic interventions. I utilize motivational interviewing, cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) principles, and trauma-informed care to support my patients in making meaningful changes.

My communication style

I strive to create a calm, supportive, and engaging environment where patients feel comfortable discussing their challenges openly. My communication style is warm, direct, and solution-focused, ensuring that patients receive both the encouragement and guidance needed for their journey to recovery.

My journey to mental healthcare

I was drawn to mental healthcare out of a deep passion for helping individuals reclaim their lives from the grip of addiction, trauma, and mental illness. My experience in psychiatric care has shown me the power of resilience, and I am committed to guiding my patients toward healing and empowerment.

My goals for you

I collaborate with patients to develop realistic, individualized treatment goals. Whether focusing on symptom management, relapse prevention, or improving daily functioning, I ensure that goals align with their personal values and lifestyle. Progress is regularly reviewed, and treatment plans are adjusted as needed.

Our first session

During our first session, I take the time to understand your history, concerns, and treatment goals. We will discuss your past experiences with mental health care, substance use (if applicable), and current challenges. My goal is to establish a treatment plan that aligns with your needs while ensuring you feel comfortable and supported.
