I'm Cherysh Caldwell, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker licensed in Georgia and Alabama. I work with adults who are capable, accomplished, and quietly carrying more than the people around them realize — navigating burnout, anxiety, life transitions, and the particular weight that comes from living and leading in systems that demand a great deal and don't always give much back. My path to this work is not a straight line. Before clinical practice, I spent years working at the intersection of people and systems — as an educator, a nonprofit executive, a public administrator, and a local government leader. That background shapes everything about how I work. I don't just see the person in front of me. I see the environments, relationships, and pressures that shaped them. I bring that same depth to therapy — creating a space that is honest, affirming, and grounded in the belief that sustainable wellbeing has to be intentionally designed. If you are ready to stop managing and start building something different, I'd be glad to work with you.

Life is unpredictable and the experiences we have influence our belief systems, thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. This is true of both beautiful and traumatic experiences. There are only so many things we have control over within the systems we navigate. My goal is to help you figure out the things you do have control over, heal from the experiences that have negatively affected your life, and support you through the up's and down's of self-exploration.

I am a therapist who enjoys building a relationship with my clients by finding how to best understand each other. We may not share a background, but practicing curiosity from a position of genuine interest helps me better understand the people around me and form rapid connections. I believe knowledge and language have power so that the way we think and the information we use to think help us view what we think as changeable and adjust it to be more helpful.

Hi, my name is Alice Williams. I have been a counselor for around 12 years. My experience has been working in clinics, mental hospitals and also virtual appointments with BetterHelp. Now I am joining Grow so clients with insurance and private pay can utiliaze my services. I think you will find me to be a genuine person who is nonjudgemental and caring. I use various treatment approaches depending on the clients needs. Music is a love of mine. I travelled for over eight years doing a program for people in recovery. Being from Nashville, music was always around, so I incorporated my love for music into my various philosophies. I have two grown sons who are doing very well in life even though I went through a divorce with their Dad. Issues arose, but we worked together to make the best life possible. Grief has not been a stranger to me. My daughter was killed in an accident at 16 in a roll-over accident. It devasted my family but we are survivors and the last thing she would want is for us to be sad all the time. We remember her with love and devotion, always in our hearts. Thinking about your problems all day long can cause major anxiety as well as depression. Living in the past is not being present as well as living in the future. Staying in the present moment and doing what you can each day according to your values is a key to living a life of joy and meaning - even though there is pain and suffering around us. I sincerely hope you give me and all my years of experience a try and let us work together to make a better life. Thanks.

Have you ever looked at your family and thought to yourself (hopefully quietly): "Goodness, our family is so dysfunctional!" "Why can't we just get along, and connect in a healthy and 'normal' way?" If you've asked yourself any of these questions, you've come to the right address. I'm happy to help your family work to become more "functional." In a direct yet gentle way, I ask my clients tough questions and offer them concrete tools to move forward. Clients come away from sessions feeling well understood and empowered.

I believe that each client is unique and that one therapy does not fit all. I try to meet the client where they are at. I have experience in different types of trauma from a clinical standpoint and personal experience. I have a sense of humor, I believe laughter can be the best medicine sometimes. The most important part of any therapy is client/therapist compatibility. It helps both with treatment goals.

I work with adults who are navigating depression, relationship struggles, substance use and co-occurring disorders, complicated family dynamics, academic or career stress, life transitions, and the impact of trauma. Whatever brings you to therapy, my goal is to meet you where you are and create a space that feels supportive, steady, and real. In our work together, I bring curiosity, reflection, and a bit of humor into the room. I draw from approaches like cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), solution-focused therapy, and mindfulness, and I tailor our sessions to what feels most helpful for you. Therapy isn’t one-size-fits-all, and we’ll figure out what works best—together. I aim to offer a safe, nonjudgmental space where we can look at patterns that may be keeping you stuck, make room for difficult emotions, and practice being a little kinder to yourself along the way. Therapy doesn’t have to feel intimidating or overly clinical—it can be thoughtful, engaging, and even relieving. Clients often describe me as both compassionate and direct. You don’t have to do this alone. I’d be honored to be on your team as we take it one step at a time.

Frequently asked questions

Why filter by Georgia rather than a city like Atlanta?

When looking for online therapy, you can see anyone that is credentialed in Georgia. We want you to find the best fit, therefore, Grow Therapy shows available therapists across Georgia from Athens to Savannah! If you’d rather see someone in-person, you can change the filter from virtual and find a therapist near you in Georgia.

Will my therapist take insurance?

When booking you’ll be asked to verify with your Member ID. However, if you don’t have any of the insurances available you can select cash. Our therapists will have their cost of appointment on their profile. Individual session costs will vary.

How does the Specialty Filter work? Can I find a therapist that focuses on a specific issue?

The specialty filter is optional. You don’t need to check any boxes to see a provider. However, fit is very important when selecting an online therapist. If you have knowledge or experience to recognize what specialties you may need.

Why use Gender, Age, and Identities filters?

Finding a provider with a similar life experience can be beneficial because it can be easier to establish rapport and potentially be understood quicker and clearer.

What happens during the first therapy session?

Your first therapy session is for you and your therapist to meet each other and to ask any questions that you have about the counseling process. This is where you can expect your therapist to do the same as they will ask questions to gain insight into your specific situation. In this first session the therapist is doing their part to gather as much information so they can better assess if they are able to meet your therapeutic needs. Depending upon your provider's specialty, you may also discuss the methods the therapist will use. For additional information on therapy methods, please visit the Grow Therapy Help Center.Some people feel nervous before their first appointment, and that is totally normal! Coming prepared with a list of questions for your therapist may help. Remember, you're taking a brave step by seeking therapy, and it is okay to be nervous as you try something new.
