The goal of life is to live as graciously as possible. We want to live a happy, productive life. But not all of us can be that way, especially if we suffer from anxiety, depression, and other life problems that come our way. If you're feeling like this, one person who can help is a counselor based in Yorba Linda.
Yorba Linda is often referred to as the “Land of Gracious Living.” We all want to live graciously, but if you feel like you're not, a counselor can help. Speak to a counselor today and see how you can be able to live more graciously. Odds are, you can live a life of grace and lead others too.

Cheryl Williams
Hello. I am a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) and a Certified Biblical Counselor. I have a passion to help individuals and couples find their way to wholeness and good mental health. I have over 12 years of experience working in the mental health industry. I earned a Master of Arts Degree in Counseling Psychology. There comes a time in everyone’s life when they really need someone safe to talk to. They need someone who will not use their pain against them. So often they end up holding that pain inside, masking it with a smile or adherent behavior. I can provide a safe place for you to empty your pain and take off the mask, help you clean up your garden of life so that your quality of life can improve. Every client needs something different; I use various evidence-based approaches that will fit my client’s needs. I am skilled in cognitive behavioral therapy, psychodynamic, mindfulness, solution focused therapy, narrative therapy, positive therapy, and biblical counseling. I will utilize my skills to treat and support clients with depression, anxiety, self-esteem, family conflict, and grief. I also help clients who are experiencing challenging interpersonal relationships, shame, and guilt by improving communication skills, setting boundaries, and understanding the power of “no”. I walk with my clients through the gardens of their lives and help them identify any unwanted weeds and uproot them, so that they can regain their voice and move forward. I enjoy working with adults, couples to help them resolve their issues through a client centered approach offering empathy and a non-judgmental environment to support clients in establishing their goals so that they can identify and develop their inner strengths. If you are ready to do the work, I am ready to support you to be the person you desire to be. I’m looking forward to working with you.

Chanise Hendrix
With over 10 years of experience as a licensed therapist, I understand that nurturing oneself is a fundamental aspect of overall well-being. Life's distractions—whether unhealthy relationships, negative self-image, societal pressures, or mental health challenges such as anxiety and depression—often prevent us from acknowledging and tending to our personal needs. I believe that within each of us lies the power and resources needed for growth, transformation, and healing. My approach is centered around meeting you exactly where you are, recognizing the strengths you've developed through adversity, and equipping you with the tools to navigate life’s challenges more effectively. Therapy isn’t about “fixing” you—it's about guiding you toward alignment with the best version of yourself. Together, we can uncover your inner resilience and help you cultivate a healthier, more fulfilling life.
