Welcome to Mind Over Matters Counseling. My name is Sherisse Bailey and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and a Licensed Clinical Addiction Specialist. I like to begin by thanking you for taking the first step in becoming a healthier you.

Trust and genuine understanding is a crucial aspect of this relationship.

Transpersonal Psychology is short term and positive. I specialize in using MARI (Mandala Assessment Research Instrument).

MARI is non-verbal and non-threatening and is the only intrument that speaks to the deepest psychological and spiritual states. My particular area of interest is women who are in the middle of making changes in their lives.
