Sometimes we can find ourselves feeling stuck, overwhelmed and unsure about how to move forward. Therapy can be a good space to start. My name is Cherliz, Cher for short (Yes, like THE Cher), and I am a dedicated therapist based in NYC with a passion for supporting individuals through life's transitions. My approach is rooted in person-centered, interpersonal, feminist, and CBT therapies, creating a space where clients can explore their unique journeys. I bring a rich cultural perspective to my approach, as I am a proud member of the LGBTQIA+ community, while also identifying as North African and Jewish.
I specialize in working with the LGBTQIA+ community, providing a warm and inclusive space for those navigating life transitions, identity exploration, and healing from trauma. My work focuses on supporting individuals dealing with sexual assault/DV, relationship challenges and codependency, and anxiety/depression.
If you’re looking for a therapist who understands the many layers of identity and experience you hold, you don’t have to navigate it alone. I offer a safe space to explore what’s difficult and to reconnect with who you are and who you’re becoming!
