Cherokee Center For Change

"Kady has failed to respond to emails and phone calls regarding my fiancés child. The office takes zero ownership of responding back to parents of a child who is in therapy with them. Since the child has been in “counseling” here her behavior has done nothing but deteriorate."

"Jerry Cox is Amazing. He came to the house and put his butt on the line. Got my son in a Hospital. Good Guy. You can Trust!"

"We first met Jerry Cox through a referral in 2016. My son had some issues due to side effects after taking Singulair for a month. Jerry communicated with my son so transparently and effectively. No judgement. We resumed counseling sessions with Jerry today (March 2021) for extra support due the ever increasing pressures that high school brings.... it’s A LOT. My son just got off of his tele-session with Jerry and talked to me (super stoked-like) for half an hour about how he connects with Jerry and can tell him anything! In my experience with therapists and counselors, this doesn’t happen very often, especially with teenagers. Being able to get kids teens to trust and to talk is a gift... not all therapists and counselors are created equal. Trust me... Many do more harm than good with incorrect diagnoses and labels that can detrimentally alter the trajectory of a young life. It happens ALL of the time. Effective communication is everything. We need more Jerry types when it comes to guiding young minds..."

"Laurie Johnson is a great counselor.. She made me feel comfortable talking with her and I believe, was able to discern my true character and life in general. The staff was nice and helpful. However, there was a written survey that I felt was misleading because there was no time reference and asks questions that may or may not have applied to me over 10 years ago and would no longer reflect who I am. Beyond the written survey, and the entire reason I went to CCFC, was the fact they list court mandated assessment on their website. Unfortunately, they were not accepted and I had to eat that cost and pay for another assessment with a counselor that the court would accept."

"Today was my first visit. She was by far the best counselor I’ve yet to see. She was caring,communication was wonderful,and she had a positive outlook on things. I was very impressed with her,and I look forward to seeing her again."
