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.

I see therapy as a place to slow down, breathe, and come back to yourself. My training at UNC Chapel Hill and UT Austin gave me a strong foundation, but what matters most is creating a compassionate space where you can feel fully seen and supported. I work with adults navigating relationships, life transitions, social anxiety, and the everyday stress of being human. My approach draws from mindfulness, DBT, and meditation practices, alongside eco-therapy. I believe that reconnecting with the body, the breath, and even the natural world can open new possibilities for healing.

Many clients come to me because they feel overwhelmed by anxiety, depression, OCD, ADHD, or the lingering impact of past trauma. You might be here because major life transitions, relationship changes, or cultural identity stressors have left you feeling stuck, uncertain, or disconnected from yourself.

My role is to provide a space where you can be fully yourself, explore what's holding you back, and begin to envision a different way forward. Together, we'll work to ease emotional pain and reconnect with your strengths.

My practice consists of helping my clients become more effective actors in their lives. In the service of these goals, I teach them how to become better critical thinkers, (working together on creating healthy beliefs about themselves, others, and their environments), providing the mental tools required for emotional regulation and a fulfilling life. Additionally, we work together on understanding the past and present sources of troublesome behaviors and reducing them; this approach is called Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. And, I specialize in a form of CBT called Exposure Response Prevention (ERP), used to treat OCD.

Living with trauma that's repeated or lasted for years isn't something you just 'get over.' Especially when it's shaped your entire way of being. I work with individuals who are experiencing PTSD, complex trauma, ADHD, anxiety, or mood disorders, many of whom have been told to "try harder" or "calm down" for most of their lives. You might feel like you're always on edge, or like something bad is about to happen, even when things seem okay. Or maybe your brain feels like it's running in 20 different directions at once, and it's exhausting just trying to keep up.

I am very fortunate to combine my three loves: people, psychology and dogs. Over the years my dogs have accompanied me to my office and have been of great therapeutic value and pleasure in their interaction with patients of all ages. Therapy is an exciting adventure in which therapist and patient agree to explore the patient's life, dreams, problems, fears, hopes and aspirations. As therapist it is my responsibility to guide: sometimes lead, share and always to jointly explore who the individual is. While everyones' therapy is different, therapy is the opportunity to pull ones' life together and develop the courage to change.

If opening up feels like too much—or you've been hurt when you tried before—I see you. Maybe you're carrying years of pain, disappointment, or silence. Maybe you're exhausted from pretending to be okay. You're not broken. You're not too much. You're just tired of holding it all alone.
You want to feel seen, heard, and safe. To finally let your guard down without fear. You’re longing for peace, for connection, for healing that actually sticks—and I want to walk with you through that. You don’t have to carry it by yourself anymore.

My ideal client isn’t perfect—they’re simply ready for change. They may feel stuck in cycles of stress, anxiety, or self-doubt, or find themselves repeating old patterns in relationships. What they’re looking for is a safe space to reflect, gain clarity, and learn tools that actually help them move forward.
Their goal is to feel more grounded, confident, and connected—to stop just getting by and start living in a way that feels authentic and fulfilling.
