Cherise Watson

Are you feeling stuck or stagnant in your life? Are you struggling to find purpose and meaning in your career? Do you suffer from Imposter Syndrome, burnout, or lack a work/life balance? You are not alone! I'm a licensed mental health counselor based in Miami, and I work with women navigating career transitions, trauma and PTSD, anxiety, depression, relationship issues, life transitions, and women's issues including infertility and domestic violence.

I am a trained specialist in Women's Entrepreneurship and would love to assist you with career exploration and starting your journey to launching a new venture. I'm also an EMDR trained therapist and Certified Clinical Trauma Professional who specializes in trauma. With over a decade of experience as an educator and years working in higher education as an advocate and clinical therapist, I combine my clinical and teaching skills to support clients from diverse cultural backgrounds and ethnicities.

My clients share that having me as their therapist has been transformational and life-changing, and I take that trust seriously.

I utilize various counseling modalities to assist clients in understanding the impact of trauma, processing traumatic memories and experiences, and gaining healthy coping skills to move forward in their journey towards healing. I use an integrative approach based on each client's unique needs, tailoring our work to fit what you're going through and what feels right for you.

I specialize in EMDR for trauma processing, and I also draw on evidence-based techniques to help with anxiety, depression, coping skills, and stress management. My style is warm, supportive, and empowering. I believe you already have strength inside you, and my job is to help you access it, build on it, and use it to move forward with confidence.

Congratulations on taking the first step on your counseling journey! In our first session, we'll talk about what brought you in, what's been weighing on you, and what you're hoping will change. You can expect a warm, judgment-free conversation where you feel heard and understood. My goal is for you to leave feeling hopeful, empowered, and clear about the path forward. I invite you to reach out today to get started!
