About me
After completing my Bachelor's degree in Psychology from UAB, I continued my education by seeking a Master's degree in Counseling and Psychology. It was during my practicum that I gained my first experience with mental health. During my practicum, I was able to apply the principles of ABA to a non-verbal child with Autism in his home. Even after completing my practicum, the child's family asked me to continue to be his therapist, thereby, providing me with my first job in mental health. It was during this time that I knew that I wanted to be a counselor, especially and specifically for children.
After completing my Master's degree in Counseling and Psychology, I relocated to Georgia, where I accepted a position in a crisis stabilization facility for children and adults. My time in the crisis facility allowed me the opportunity to learn how to approach and de-escalate children when they were at the peak of their crisis. While still working in the crisis facility, I started my journey in working in residential facilities for children. It was in these residential facilities that I began to encounter children who had experienced a variety of concerns, including depression, anger, physical trauma, emotional abuse, parent-child conflicts, ADHD, and anxiety. I started my work with these youth as a PRN therapist, which quickly turned into a part-time therapist position. Upon seeing my progress and dedication with these youth, I was promoted to a full-time therapist position. It was also during this time that I obtained by LAPC. After years of continued supervision, trainings, direct and indirect experience, I obtained by LPC in 2017.
My counseling style is warm, personable, and interactive. I believe in empowering the individual, where I can instill in them the confidence,knowledge and strength that they can change their circumstances. I believe in treating anyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral and humanistic counseling. I am solution-focused and collaborative; therefore, we will work together to create a treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs and accomplish your goals.
It takes courage to seek for a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you.
Throughout my journey, I have been able to receive and continue to receive various trainings, including Trauma-Focused CBT, Humanistic Counseling, Preventing Suicide, Anger Management, Sex-Trafficking, and Trust-Based Relational Intervention (TBRI), among others.

Reviews
These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Cherronica Ormond. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with Teen Counseling might be different.
I have done sessions with Ms. Cherronica for a couple of months now and I really enjoy our sessions. She makes me feel very comfortable and it’s easy to talk to her. She is timely and flexible and always checks in with me throughout the week. I would highly recommend her!
Cherronica is more than a therapist; she feels like a friend although we have never met and live on opposite sides of the world! I always enjoy my sessions with her; she is great in helping me achieve clarity around issues and putting into place action plans to help me move forwards. I would 100% recommend Cherronica; she is respectful and never pushy (she lets the client set the pace) and obviously loves what she does.
Cherronica has changed my life and well being for the better. I would not have been able to grow and be strong with myself without her guidance. So grateful to have her as my therapist.
She’s helped me tremendously, I definitely recommend her!
She’s very warm and welcoming. She really helps me work through my struggles
A walking and talking Miracle! An experience like no other. Problem resolution and self confidence lessons are unmatched. She is attentive and alert! She provided different ways to cope with lifes ways. She knows how to get to the root of the issue without pushing or digging. She's a pro!
So far my experience with Cherronica has been wonderful! I look forward to our sessions!

Cherronica is a great listener, provides insight and is very supportive!
Cherronica takes the time to listen to your problems before coming up with fantastic advice to address your issues. She patiently listens whilst you arrange and communicate your thoughts before expertly addressing them in turn. She’s kind, friendly and has helped me through a really tough time.

Cherronica takes time to listen and ask questions to help you work through your challenges and come up with practical solutions. Would highly recommend her. She also puts you at ease while talking
Great listener and resourceful therapist! helpful with integrating tasks and goals around daily routine. She’s a delight to talk to.
Cherronica is my first therapist ever, and I am so thankful that I met her. She always tries to understand my worries from my point of view while also helps me to try look from another perspective. The exercises and advices she gave really help me to calm myself when I get anxious over something.
Amazing person and really focuses on one issue at a time. I had ALOT going on in my life, and each time, instead of me jumping around all over the place, she focused on one aspect and we really dove deep into what was happening. HIGHLY RECOMMEND
i’m so grateful and thankful to have cherronica as my counselor/therapist. she’s incredibly supportive of my goals and always prepared with an arsenal of tools to help me with understanding my anxiety and helping me process thoughts and emotions. she’s also incredibly skilled at helping me see my next steps. not to mention the energy she brings to every single session: it powers me through my day and week! i’m so thankful for her guidance every session and i truly adore her so much.

Cherronica is the most amazing person. She is caring and understanding and will provide great counselling. I would truly recommend her to anyone.
Cherronica actually listens instead of telling me what she thinks I should feel. She's incredibly patient, and understanding.
Cherronica is amazing - I've learned more about myself and how to manage my emotions than I thought was possible. I've been to a lot of therapists and was never able to "stick" with them. I'm so thankful I've stuck with Cherronica!
Cherronica is very responsive, understanding and provides really good advice tips with dealing with personal/ professional issues
She really tries to understand problems and not just offer any solution off the top of her head.
I really like her.
She listens and she gives really good advice.
She is also very friendly.
Cherronica Ormond, has been such a blessing to me in this new journey of counselling. She is so kind, caring and affirming. She takes time to listen to what i'm actually saying from an unbiased view. And then helps me better understand myself. She gives me clear direction on action steps I can take to improve in areas I'm struggling with and reach for the goals I wish to achieve. I'm so thankful she is the first counselor I was paired up with because I can already tell and feel what an amazing difference she is making in my life which will ripple effect positively to those I love the most around me. Thank you Cherronica, I cannot recommend her enough!
I have loved my sessions with Cherronica! She’s a great listener and I feel like she really understands what I want out of therapy and is good at helping me achieve my goals
I have been having counselling sessions with Cherronica for over 2 months now and I can’t sing her praises enough! She helped me to uproot the issues that were making my anxiety unbearable. She helped me to tell myself a different story and develop a toolbox that would help in my everyday mental health. Cherronica is a breath of fresh air with a good listening ear. I attest my 180 change to working with Cherronica. Thank you so much!
Cherronica is an amazing therapist who really take the time to listen, understand and help. She encourages me a lot and I'm so happy I was paired with her!
I have nothing but good things to say about Cherronica. She is understanding and supportive and she always checks in on me from time to time. She makes suggestions that keep me going but also really allows me to be in control of my own self care, which is really important to me. She’s guiding me through a process and giving me exactly the amount of space that is good for me.

Hands down Cherronica is amazing at what she does. My first time having therapy and I would have to say my expectations have been exceeded. She’s extremely professional and practical as well as know how to identify the root and immediately tackles solutions to whatever the problem may be. Thank you Cherronica for helping me to give a voice to my joy and pain.
