Hi! I’m Cherrelle.
Have you ever been taken for a joke? Maybe people didn’t believe that you were going to accomplish anything. Or maybe you had been taken advantage of and started to doubt yourself and your abilities… Were you lacking guidance and mentorship? Looking for love and support in all the wrong places?
Me too fam, me too.
At points in my life, I felt lower than low. Giving away my youth for goals that were not my own. Attempting to live out someone else’s dream, all because I wanted to prove loyalty and admiration. At a young age, I knew I wanted to help others in becoming their best selves. My love languages are giving and acts of kindness. I love to cook big ole meals for those I truly love and give gifts of love and kindness to almost everyone I meet. However, there was a time that I was living someone else’s dream and I could not balance my love between myself and others. It wasn’t until I realized that this was a toxic behavior...self-doubt, low self-esteem, lack of confidence, lack of boundaries (Laaawd that was a big one)...I couldn’t continue to carry this around. I started to surround myself with positive thinkers, motivational speakers, and influential individuals, to bring me out of this funk. I was stuck behind everyone else’s shadow and realized that I needed to step out and make my own shadow. Become individualized and start working on things that I wanted to do.
As a Licensed Professional School Counselor, I help nurture children with their academic, career, and social/emotional goals. However, working in the schools limits the amount and length of time I can work with students on these goals. I have also worked as an Academic Counselor at a University and I was able to work with college students in helping them discover their purpose and develop their professional goals after college. This was so rewarding for me. Being able to talk to people in a language they will understand, with no filter...is freeing. Currently, in my role as a Licensed Resident in Counseling, I come across all types of individuals who may not be dealing with a mental health crisis but just need extra support in reaching their goals.
I believe everyone deserves to have a space where they are not judged, criticized, or made fun of. We all deserve to have someone in our corner who will tell it to us straight because they should want the best for us. In reflection, I am determined to help those I meet feel valued and to see their purpose.
