Meet Cheron Crouch: Licensed Professional Counselor

We had the good fortune of connecting with Cheron Crouch and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Cheron, do you have a favorite quote or affirmation?
My favorite quote is “All behavior is a form of communication.” I like this quote because it forces me to be more curious and aware about how and what my behavior communicates about how I am thinking and feeling.

If you think about it, the way we behave is an expression of our thoughts, feelings and needs. Our behavior is often more accurate than our words.

I desire to be in alignment with my thoughts and feelings to ensure that my behavior and responses accurately depict my beliefs, values, and personality and how I am feeling. When my actions are not in tune with my thoughts (values, belief system) then there is a disconnect that I have to address.

This quote encourages me to be accountable for understanding my own needs. This is important for me as I hold many roles as a mom, daughter, business owner and role model to name a few. When I am not in alignment my behavior “tattles” on me. It is easy for me to recognize when am overworked because my behavior communicates exhaustion ( I get snappy!).

In addition, to using this quote for my personal use, I also use this quote to challenge my clients when their behavior/responses in therapy are not aligned with their stated goal for their life..

Can you give our readers an introduction to your business? Maybe you can share a bit about what you do and what sets you apart from others?

I am proud to be a part of the movement that normalizes people of color, especially women seeking help for emotional, behavioral and mental health needs. Its ok to be “not ok”. It is ok to seek help when that feeling of being “not ok” lingers for far too long
