How can you provide care remotely?
I provide care remotely through telehealth services, which allow clients to receive mental health treatment from the comfort of their own homes. This involves virtual appointments where I can assess, diagnose, and manage conditions such as depression, anxiety, ADHD, and PTSD, among others. Telehealth gives clients the flexibility and convenience to focus on their treatment without the need to visit a physical location, while still receiving comprehensive and personalized care.
I am Cheryl Norris, a dedicated and compassionate Nurse Practitioner specializing in psychiatric and mental health care. With over a decade of experience in various healthcare settings, I am committed to providing personalized and comprehensive care to individuals of all ages. Currently, I run a private practice, PsychSolutions, PLLC, where I offer telehealth services tailored to mental health needs, including depression, anxiety, ADHD, and PTSD. My background includes working in the Behavioral Health, where I manage and treat mental illnesses, from anxiety and depression to bipolar disorder and schizophrenia. I've also spent significant time in fast-paced environments like the Emergency Department, where I assessed and treated patients with multiple health concerns. Additionally, I have contributed to groundbreaking research at the Carolina Institute of Clinical Research, focusing on COVID-19 vaccines and gynecological studies. My home health care visits through United Healthcare allowed me to provide in-depth assessments and care for Medicare patients with complex health conditions. I pride myself on being thorough, empathetic, and always putting my patients' needs first. Whether it’s managing chronic conditions, conducting diagnostic interventions, or providing support and education, my goal is always to ensure the best possible outcome for my patients. Reach out to me if you're looking for a dedicated partner in your health journey. *Specialties •Mental Health *Conditions treated •Depression •Anxiety •PTSD •ADHD •Medication Management •Sleep or Insomnia •Coping Skills •Anger Management *Treatment philosophy Mental health disorders cannot be treated with medications alone.

How can you provide care remotely?
I provide remote care through secure video conferencing, ensuring confidentiality and professionalism. These virtual sessions allow for face-to-face interactions from your home, offering the same support and therapeutic techniques as in-person meetings. Remote therapy is flexible and convenient, making it easier to access care without needing to travel.

I have a PhD in Counseling Psychology and masters in social work, I’m a Licensed Independent Social Worker and Licensed Independent Chemical Dependence Counselor. I like to help anyone find solutions to their problems, manage difficult feelings, and reach their goals. I also enjoy helping both youth and adults increase communication. I use a variety of therapy techniques including motivational interviewing, cognitive behavioral therapy, rational emotive therapy, gestalt, and psychodynamic primarily. I generally do what I can to help clients reach their treatment goals. I am an independently licensed clinical social worker and chemical dependency counselor. I’ve provided therapy to a variety of mental health and substance problems for people ages 12-75. I enjoy helping people figure out the underlying obstacles to growth and success. I come alongside each client and we work together to explore the known and unknown, identify barriers, problems, and solutions, and set goals for the future. I’m not judgmental, I do my best to understand and encourage each person I work with. We are in this together! I believe that problems come from a variety of sources, sometimes our upbringing teaches us, sometimes thoughts influence what we do, and sometimes we have beliefs that aren’t in alignment with our goals. I believe we can change behavior if we change thoughts and beliefs. I believe everyone wants to live a better life, whatever that is for each of us. I also believe that two are better than one, which is why it’s so helpful to have an outside perspective! In my free time, I enjoy backpacking in the mountains, traveling, and making videos of the trips. I’m always ready for a fun adventure!
