Meet Cherrisse

My experiences and interests give me a unique understanding of…

  • Life’s most vulnerable moments, and the deep impact that change and hardship can have on a person’s sense of self.

  • How resilience can emerge in unexpected ways, even during periods of uncertainty, loss, or significant life transition.

  • The importance of approaching each person with empathy, compassion, and an appreciation for their unique experiences.

  • A strengths-based approach that honours both the struggle and the capacity for healing, growth, and meaningful change.

Booking FAQ

Does Cherrisse offer direct billing with my insurance? Or how does payment work?

First Session charges each session directly to your credit card. Once each session occurs and your card is charged, you’ll receive a PDF receipt by email with all the details you need to get reimbursed (therapist name, designation, license number, address, etc.). You can then submit the receipt to your insurance company for reimbursement if you have coverage. We always recommend checking your coverage with your provider before booking.

How do I know if Cherrisse is a good fit?

You are the expert when it comes to knowing who’s the right fit. Watch the therapist’s video at the top of their profile and see whether the message and energy resonate. If you feel drawn to speak with them, listen to your gut — booking a free consultation is a great first step to assess fit.

What if I see no available times to book a session?

If the therapist is listed as accepting clients and you see no available times, it’s likely they haven’t updated their availability (sorry about that!). In this case, you can to see what times they have available.
