Who We Are
Cheryl A. Francis, LPC, CPCS, CGP (Licensed Professional Counselor, Certified Professional Clinical Supervisor, Certified Grief Professional)
My Background
Hello, my name is Cheryl A. Francis. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and a Certified Grief Professional trained at Argosy University (formerly Georgia School of Professional Psychology). I am also a Certified Professional Counselor Supervisor and supervise clinicians preparing for licensure. I work primarily from a Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) approach but use various therapeutic techniques to meet your specific needs. My primary goal is to assist you in obtaining your goals and regain the peace you once maintained. You will be supported in working through your mental health challenges to achieve healthy management of your life and relationships. Those feelings of anxiety from life's stressors, the loss from death, divorce, or infidelity, take them to my space so they can be shared and leave you feeling "lighter." If you need overall emotional support, I want to be your therapist of choice.
Professional Development is one of my passions, and you may find me providing training or motivating an organization's workers to achieve greatness within them via seminars or conferences.
I am a published author of "Journaling the Journey," "Beating Burnout," and "Beating Burnout Workbook." I have also contributed to the West Georgia Women monthly magazine.
I am the founder and director of Rebounding With A Purpose (RWAP), a 501c-3 organization that provides free or reduced mental health services, housing support, and resources to the underserved.
My Treatment Focus
I focus on holistic measures, addressing every Dimension of Wellness while working together. I use various techniques within the mental health field, even meeting you in your space when feasible, to help you heal, re-energize, and become aware of your inner strengths. Therapy and Professional Development will always be about you and your needs. You are supported by providing a neutral, safe space, listening to your concerns, and customizing a treatment plan for your specific needs. Our first session will always focus on whether I am the right fit to meet your needs. IF NOT, I will be happy to provide you with some referrals to get you on your path to healing.
