One central question organizes everything
Services are provided by Dr. Cheryl L. Andrews, PhD, and the practice’s Clinical Assistants under her supervision. Licensed in North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, and Virginia.
Many people seek support because something has become harder to manage. They may have a diagnosis but no language for how it affects daily life. They may be seeking accommodations but unsure how to explain functional barriers. They may look fine on the outside while privately struggling to keep up.
Clinical Function and Accommodation Consultation
Clarity around job and school demands, functional barriers, accommodations, documentation, and return planning.
A structured, practical consultation for adults, students, families, employees, professionals, and referral partners navigating disability-related, behavioral health, medical, executive-functioning, or stress-related barriers across work, school, higher education, training, licensure, clinical placement, and leave-to-return transitions. Consultation tracks include:
- Workplace Function Consultation — job demands and essential functions, workplace accommodation strategy, FMLA and leave concerns, job retention, stay-at-work and return-to-work planning
- Educational Function Consultation — IEP and 504 preparation, school-function barriers, attendance concerns, and return-to-school planning for K-12 students and families, arranged through a parent or guardian
- Academic and Program Function Consultation — accommodations and participation support for college, graduate, training, licensing, and clinical-placement students
- Documentation Clarity Review — review of provider letters, FMLA and ADA paperwork, IEP and 504 records, and academic documentation for functional relevance and clear next steps
- Executive-Functioning Support — practical skill-building around task initiation, organization, pacing, prioritization, and sustainable participation
- Leave-to-Return and Stay-Engaged Planning — structured support for returning to work, school, or a program, and staying engaged once back
Private pay only
Clinical Function and Accommodation Consultation is a private-pay service. It is not billable to insurance, and no superbill is issued. Fees are confirmed in a written fee agreement before services begin.
Function-Focused Psychotherapy
Therapy that treats clinical symptoms and rebuilds daily functioning at the same time.
Individual psychotherapy for ages 16 and older whose anxiety, depression, ADHD, trauma, chronic illness, chronic pain, injury, grief, burnout, or life demands are affecting both emotional wellness and day-to-day functioning. Traditional therapy asks, How do you feel? Function-Focused Psychotherapy also asks, How is this affecting the way you live, work, study, and relate?
Work may include clinical assessment and treatment planning, anxiety and depression treatment, ADHD and executive-functioning support, trauma-informed therapy, grief support, burnout recovery, life-transition counseling, disability-related adjustment, and practical strategy for routines, communication, boundaries, decision-making, and follow-through.
Scope and eligibility
- Individual therapy only. Couples counseling and family therapy are not offered.
- Ages 16 and older.
- Billable to insurance, including most commercial carriers, select Medicaid and Medicare plans, and most EAPs.
- This is a clinical treatment service. It is not a forensic evaluation, independent assessment, disability determination, or expert opinion. When the primary need is accommodation planning, documentation review, or return-to-work planning, consultation is the appropriate service.
Clinical Supervision
Structured supervision for the counselor you are becoming.
Individual and group supervision for counseling students, associate-level clinicians, and provisionally licensed professionals. Supervision supports ethical decision-making, documentation quality, diagnostic reasoning, treatment planning, risk assessment, case conceptualization, professional identity, and licensure readiness.
Available in North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia. Virginia coming soon. Supervision fees are discussed directly rather than published.
Forensic and vocational services
Forensic vocational consultation, expert-witness services, employability analysis, and earning-capacity analysis are not provided by Cheryl L. Andrews & Associates. Those services are rendered through a separate firm, The Vocational Standard, at (980) 326-0616 or cheryl@thevocationalstandard.com.
Not sure which service fits?
That is a common and reasonable place to start. A brief inquiry helps sort it out before anything is scheduled.
