Cheri DeMoss at Empowering Options changed my life by helping me get past shame and guilt on the path to self-acceptance. She also helped me see how behavior (rather than words) is where it's at when it comes to understanding others. She taught me skills, which have proven vital for my transition through separation and divorce. Through my work with Cheri, I have made myself healthier and created better relationships with my kids and other significant people in my life. I feel better about my life than I ever have, primarily ... read more
Cheri balances two important elements of psychotherapy, insight and support. She helps you find your truth, and helps you embrace it. I know she "walks the walk" because she shares practical experience and insight gained from twenty years in practice. She models a supportive and realistic recovery into healthy behavior. She is head and shoulders above her peers. Recommended without reservation. --Jeff H. (San Francisco)
Most therapists are worthless. Cheri DeMoss is the true exception. Her approach is exceptional. None other can match her skills. I have referred numerous friends to her that have found her approach not only innovative, but proof positive of effective change. Cheri is the best. She has my highest recommendation.
When my fiance, now husband, and I were looking for a couple counselor, we called several places but no one actually got back to us except Cheri. She is direct and forward. Her methods are a bit different but it does work. The way my husband and I communicate has changed dramatically for the better. We now have a chance to take a look at our behavior and its effects therefore be responsible for them. The group sessions have a sense of community and safety. -J, Chicago, IL
I was a client of Cheri DeMoss almost 20 years ago, and found her informed, insightful, and affirming approach to be both comforting and helpful in changing my beliefs, attitudes, feelings, and behavior. Ultimately, I think this process changed the trajectory of my life. More than a decade after I stopped seeing her, I went back to graduate school and am now a psychotherapist myself. From a professional perspective, I have a deep appreciation for the power of her clinical approach to help people change. I have incorporated m... read more
Cheri DeMosses technique of counseling is unique and more effective than any other counseling that I have ever experienced. It is truth based and she focuses on teaching her clients everything she knows about human behavior, giving you the tools to observe reality as it is. She is passionate about her works and is fascinated with her own process, she also lives what she teaches which I have found rare in a counselor.
I've spun the "wheel of therapists" and hit "pointless" before. Then I found Empowering Options. This is practical, effective, behavior based therapy. Cheri has provided me with information that has lead to insight, a new perspective and new behaviors. These have truly transformed my life. This time the "wheel of therapists" came up "JACKPOT!" If you want to understand what's going on in your life and how to change it, this is the place to go. Mike
Cheri is great. I've been going to couples and individual counseling with her for a few weeks and I've already seen a drastic improvement in the way we communicate and treat each other. Cheri is very direct and candid and tells you like it is. She doesn't beat around the bush or try to have you find an answer you are asking her for. I would highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for realistic and actionable changes in themselves and/or their relationship.
Cheri DeMoss is a great therapist. I've been seeing her off and on for over two years. She has a great way of helping me see why I react to things the way that I do and she helps me get back in control of my emotions and actions. I always leave a session with her feeling positive, empowered, and in control of my life!
