My name is Ms. Cherica Allen, but you can call me “Cher.” I am a licensed professional therapist and licensed family therapist associate in the State of Texas. I’ve earned a Bachelor’s Degree in Education from Jarvis Christian College and a Master’s Degree in Counseling from LeTourneau University. I have over 15 years of experience working with adolescents, relationship issues, family conflict, and substance use disorders. My therapeutic approach is uniquely tailored to your needs.

My approach

The best therapeutic approach is the relationship that I have with you, there are many modalities, but I believe that you have the “tools” necessary to transform your “struggles into triumphs.”

My focus

I have over 15 years of experience in working with adolescents, relationship issues, family conflict, depression/anxiety disorders, traumatic experiences, and substance use disorders. My therapeutic approach is uniquely tailored to your needs.

My communication style

I will provide you with a nonjudgmental and warm environment that allows "you" to be you." My environment is accepting of all, providing you with the empowerment needed to create purpose, safety, and, most of all, peace.

My journey to therapy

I feel “privileged” to become a part of your life. Our partnership will help you develop insight, motivation, courage, and, most of all, assurance to enhance your quality of life. I do understand that it can be challenging to trust anyone with your “emotional burdens,” but I am only here to “EMPOWER” you to be the best YOU”! “I’m ready, or you?” Let’s share the journey of healing together.

My goals for you

You and I are a part of a team! I believe that you understand and know what is best for you, but sometimes we may need a little empowerment or encouragement to help us understand our worth and potential. I entrust that together we will begin to discover the healing, growth, and development to be the “best you.”

My first session with you

During our initial meeting, we are identifying your growth areas and needs, and then we will determine if this partnership is aligned with your values and beliefs.
