Cheri Pierce, RN, MA, LPC

Are you wanting to move forward with your life, but you’re feeling stuck or trapped?

I work with women ages 18 and older, and have a special passion for women in their 30’s and beyond. I understand that it takes a lot of courage to reach out for help and face the not-so-pretty aspects of life. While I see clients with a wide range of challenges, my areas of specialization include trauma, emotionally sensitive clients, and grief and loss (including but not limited to the loss of a loved one, a pet, a job, personal identity, youth, control, fertility, etc.). I also regularly work with clients that struggle with depression, anxiety, disordered eating, and many other women’s issues.

My clients typically have been deeply wounded and feel misunderstood, stressed out, and overwhelmed. Often they have low self-confidence and believe that they are not enough. They have tried all sorts of ways to change their situations, but nothing has shifted. Perhaps this resonates with you and you too are seeking health and healing for your body, mind, and spirit. There is hope, and help is just a click away.

I’m Cheri and I am so glad you are here.

I understand that it takes a lot of courage to reach out for help and face the not-so-pretty aspects of life.

It has to be difficult juggling all of the responsibilities that have landed on your shoulders, the weight is heavy, and there is little to no appreciation for all that you do. Maybe you have been trying to make or improve significant relationships, but you do not feel seen or heard. It’s almost like you don’t matter, but you want to. It’s time to take inventory. I see you and hear you. I am here to help you!

As you take each brave step towards freedom, you can be assured that my approach will be one of empathy, non-judgment, and the utmost confidentiality. My aim is to assist you in building a solid foundation for lasting change and renewed purpose. In other words, to Boldly Build a Better Tomorrow!

“Cheri’s warmth and empathetic listening skills provide a non-judgmental, safe space for clients to process and to find healing and hope.”
