CHERISH TUSING

Real conversations. Practical tools. Lasting strength.

Some seasons of life stretch you to your limit.

Whether you’re facing anxiety, relationship struggles, or a major transition, it’s easy to feel stuck and unsure of the next step.

As a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Columbus, Ohio, I provide a space where you can slow down, process what’s weighing on you, and move forward with clarity.

As a wife, mom of two, and someone actively involved in my faith community, I understand the tension between showing up for others and making space for your own growth. Therapy with me isn’t about quick fixes—it’s about honest conversations and practical strategies to help you build strength where it matters most.

COUNSELOR IN COLUMBUS OHIO

A thoughtful, client-centered approach

I hold a Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Ashland Theological Seminary and a Bachelor’s in Church Leadership from Evangel University, where I graduated Summa Cum Laude.

With over five years of experience working with adolescents and adults, I specialize in helping clients navigate anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, disordered eating, and major life transitions.

My counseling approach is strengths-based and collaborative, integrating cognitive-behavioral techniques with client-centered therapy. For those who seek it, I also offer Christian counseling, drawing from biblical principles while respecting each client’s beliefs and autonomy.

Whether you’re looking for practical coping strategies, deeper self-awareness, or support in a difficult season, my goal is to help you build resilience and clarity—without judgment or pretense.
