Hi ~ I'm a Licensed Professional Counselor in Missouri and Tennessee; I have been licensed for 13+ years. My focus is to help people learn how to manage anxiety and depression so as to live a more fulfilling life. I will provide resources, teach skills, and provide encouragement to help make changes. We will collaborate to make a plan for long term success.
Our first session will be an opportunity for brief introductions, exploring the frustrations you are experiencing, and setting goal(s) to make the changes to move forward with more peace and joy.
I focus on providing a space where you will feel safe with no judgment. An empathic environment where you can say what is on your mind and heal.
I enjoy working with people who describe themselves as stuck, paralyzed, indecisive, or unable to be present. Anxiety doesn't have to control your life; depression doesn't have to cloud your perspective. My clients are looking for ways to gain control of their emotions instead of their emotions being in control.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
Emotions come from thoughts and behaviors. Therapy will focus on changing the thoughts and behaviors that are problematic for your life.

Cherri McCord is wonderful! I spent a while looking for a therapist who was a good fit for me and I'm so happy to have found her. She is warm, thoughtful, and insightful. She makes herself much more easily reachable compared to other therapists I have seen in the past, which makes me feel much more important and cared for. She listens to understand and consistently makes sure that we are on the same page, so that there are no misunderstandings or misguidance in the appointment.
