About Cherise Maisey, MA, RCC
Registered Clinical Counsellor
ADHD-Clinical Services Provider
Welcome, my name is Cherise, and I work with youth (12+), adults, and couples. My counselling approach blends empathy, curiosity, and compassion to help you better understand yourself, build resilience, and create meaningful change. Together, we’ll explore your goals, uncover your strengths, and develop practical strategies to navigate life’s challenges with greater clarity and confidence.
Focus Areas
Anxiety & Depression – Drawing from my crisis intervention experience, I work with clients to manage overwhelming thoughts and emotions, using grounding techniques and evidence-based strategies. My priority is creating safety, fostering hope, and supporting your healing process at your own pace.
ADHD – As a Certified ADHD Clinical Services Provider (ADHD-CCSP), I take a strengths-based, neurodiversity-affirming approach. I help youth and adults understand their ADHD, develop practical tools for attention, organization, and emotional regulation, and explore how ADHD has shaped their sense of self and relationships—especially after a late diagnosis.
Relationship Challenges – I help individuals and couples examine communication patterns, emotional needs, and sources of conflict. Whether navigating trust issues, personality differences, or life transitions, my work fosters deeper understanding, empathy, and healthier connection.
Men’s Mental Health – I create a space where men can share openly without judgment. Together, we explore challenges around identity, emotional expression, relationships, and societal expectations, encouraging honest reflection while respecting personal values and experiences.

Education and Experience
I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor with a Master’s Degree in Counselling Psychology. Before becoming a counsellor, I worked on a crisis intervention line, supporting individuals in acute psychological distress. This role taught me the importance of timely, compassionate support and the power of genuine connection in moments of crisis. Alongside my clinical work, over a decade in the hospitality industry gave me the privilege of engaging with people from diverse backgrounds, deepening my empathy, cultural awareness, and ability to create a truly inclusive therapeutic space.
