More
Than
Counseling.
A Place
Where Healing
Begins.
Our Story
Work in Progress Counseling was founded on the belief that everyone deserves the opportunity to heal. What began as one therapist’s vision to make quality mental health care more accessible has grown into a team of dedicated clinicians committed to helping individuals, couples, and families navigate life’s challenges with hope and confidence.
“Everyone deserves the opportunity to heal.“
My Journey into Counseling Began with My Own Healing
Like many people, I experienced firsthand the life changing impact of therapy. During one conversation, I shared with a close friend that I was seeing a therapist.
She looked at me and said…
“Black people don’t go to therapy.“
“Nobody told me.“
“If I ever needed a therapist, I’d call you.“
“I can’t be a therapist.“
Until My Therapist Asked…
“Why can’t you?”
That one question changed the course of Dr. Cherie’s life and became the foundation of Work in Progress Counseling.
One Simple Question
Changed Everything
Every healing journey has a beginning. For Dr. Cherie Edwards, it started with one conversation that changed the course of her life.
Our Mission
Reduce shame, break the stigma surrounding mental health, and increase access to compassionate, evidence-based care that empowers individuals, couples, and families to heal, grow, and thrive.
Our Vision
A future where shame no longer prevents people from seeking help, stigma no longer silences conversations about mental health, and every person has the opportunity to heal.

Because every person’s story is unique, therapy should be too.
Instead of a one-size-fits-all approach, we thoughtfully match each client with the clinician whose expertise and personality best fit their needs.
