Cheri DeMoss is founder & director of Empowering OptionsTM Counseling Innovations. For the past 29 years, Cheri's approach is distinctive in its effectiveness. She provides key information; clear insights & innovative techniques to use immediately. By teaming new information with fresh ways to look at long-standing beliefs, reactions, & behavior patterns you can create the changes you want. Whether you want to improve your relationship, alleviate depression, or be more pro-active in your life - the things we struggle with come from not having relevant knowledge that we can turn into action.
Cheri provides a safe, supportive environment for you to recognize your belief systems & see how they are influencing your life. Clearly seeing situations for what they actually are provides information, validation, & ideas that make it easier to create the change you are looking for.
The 1st Session is Free because deciding to work with a therapist is a lot like buying a good pair of shoes " it's important that there's a good fit. This way you can come in and get the information you need to make a clear decision.
