Cherilyn Padgett

My communication style

My communication style is compassionate and honest. I am personable and will seek your feedback on how you feel therapy is progressing.

My journey to mental healthcare

I have always yearned for human connection. I grew up understanding that there is healing in being seen, heard, understood, and accepted. I wanted to offer this to others as others had offered it to me. You will be seen, heard, understood, and accepted. If you will let me, I would like to help you.

My goals for you

The counseling process involves change. I assist my clients in considering whether a perspective or behavioral change is needed. We work together to determine the steps necessary to make change and achieve a better way of living.

Our first session

During our first session, expect questions about you, your background, your childhood, and what brought you to counseling. You are more than the issue or challenge you are facing. I aim to develop a holistic picture of who you are to better understand how best to proceed with treatment.

I identify as...

• Female
• Black or African American
• Christian, Non-denominational
