More about Cerise
- 3 years' experience
- Female
- LCSW
As a licensed therapist in California, I specialize in supporting individuals navigating complex emotional landscapes. My practice centers on helping clients work through family conflicts, trauma, grief, and life transitions with compassion and cultural sensitivity.
I bring a deep understanding of the unique challenges faced by Black individuals and those seeking faith-aligned therapeutic support. My approach is rooted in empowering clients to explore their inner strengths, address feelings of isolation, and rediscover their sense of purpose.
Drawing from evidence-based practices, I create a warm, affirming space where clients can heal from past wounds, rebuild self-esteem, and develop meaningful coping strategies. I'm committed to walking alongside you as you process difficult experiences, work through guilt and shame, and move toward personal growth and forgiveness.
My goal is to provide culturally responsive care that honors your individual journey and supports your path to emotional wellness.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
