Child and Adolescent Psychology of Tampa Bay - Where Every Child's Story Matters.
“Cherice has been the first person to break through to our teenager. Her charisma and relatability allowed our child to feel comfortable and safe within the first session.
Cherice was able to get our teenager to change her behavior immediately. She went to her first session very shy and nervous but she came out an hour later very relieved. I think someone understood her. We believe this was Cherice’s ability to create a really strong connection at the very first meeting. We highly recommend Cherice and are deeply indebted to her for placing our child on a healthy path.
