Cherry Ordoñez, PhD

My therapeutic career started at a child abuse prevention line, where I supported people from potentially abusive situations. I then worked as a substance abuse counselor helping people through crisis. Prior to psychology, I worked in finance. My current private practice focuses on individual telehealth appointments for adults and older adults. I also provide consulting for companies where I have contributed to improving products, customer journeys, and employee workflows.
