I Believe
Grace welcomes mistakes and opens the door to learning. Learning is the path to growth.About Cherise Stewart
I am a marriage and family therapist that integrates faith, hope, and practical tools into everyday life. YourTango allows me to use my knowledge as a therapist to open up on a personal level, sharing my own experiences, and show that even therapists make mistakes and are still learning too!
In my professional life, I partner with adults and teens needing help with anxiety, motivation, relationships, dating, rejection, and depression. I help people explore the roots of their hurts and how this affects everyday life. I am a firm believer that we all have the strength and capability within ourselves to accomplish our goals; we just need to give ourselves a little grace in the process.
I have learned that giving ourselves grace is part of learning and the only way to grow. Before settling into life in my comfortable private practice, I was a world-traveling Mama with two little boys in tow. We lived in three different countries over the course of five years. In this whirlwind I learned a lot about loneliness, my need for connection, and how much strength I had in my reserves. I also learned about beauty in places that I only once imagined-in our world and in unexpected people.
