About Cheryl Brodnax

My philosophy on counseling is that the client is the expert on their life; and my role as a helper in Christ is to assist clients in processing their experiences, releasing past or present hurts, and developing tools for healing that draw on their own individual strengths and values.

Finding Your Confidence Again

I’m the most confident insecure person I know. Sounds strange; I’m a walking contradiction. In one vein I have a lot of confidence in myself and my abilities.
