About
Hello! My name is Cherie Bebee. I’m 43 years old and a proud mother of seven amazing children, six boys and one girl. I’ve been in recovery for nearly five years, and through my journey, I’ve come to deeply understand what it means to struggle and to overcome darkness. Today, I work with individuals in recovery, and I genuinely love what I do. Helping others find their way and realize that change is possible is what drives me. I’ve chosen to study psychology so I can deepen my knowledge and be a source of hope for those still fighting their battles, just like I once did.
