Therapist

Virtual & in-person • 27 mi away • Marble Hill, GA


Greeting!

I am a seasoned professional continuing to study and learn the most impactful ways to lessen human suffering and promote self love in all. Beginning my practice decades ago as a combat trauma therapist, I have found myself dealing with the traumas of early life and relationships with most my adolescent and adult clients. I believe counseling can offer many “tools”, to cope, however, I prefer to help people heal so that coping becomes an infrequent need.

T. Cher Randall

T. Cher Randall

Therapist

Virtual • Kennesaw, GA


I specialize in supporting individuals, couples, and families who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected. Many clients come to me during chapters of life that feel confusing or chaotic. Together, we slow things down. We work to understand what's driving the pain, identify what you truly need, and develop practical skills to move forward with confidence and clarity.

My clinical background includes addiction counseling, family dynamics, grief work, trauma-informed care, and supporting clients who have experienced unstable relationships, emotional dysregulation, or long-standing stress. I provide a non-judgemental environment where honesty is welcomed, growth is supported, and you don't have to pretend to be ok.

Therapy with me is active- we talk, plan, reflect, and practice new ways of thinking and coping. You will always leave the session with insight, direction, and support you can apply to everyday life. If you are ready to start healing, reconnect with yourself, and build healthier relationships, I'm here to walk with you. Reach out to schedule a consultation.
