Our staff is chosen for their experience and varying areas of expertise, but most of all, on their ability to genuinely relate to the people we serve.  We recognize that our clients are people, not merely patients with treatment plans and we are committed to providing real solutions for real people rather than just a clinical diagnosis and a clinical plan.  Our staff offers a variety of specialties and experiences to meet almost any need. Cherokee Center for Change Counseling, Inc., was founded in 1993 by Ita Gilbert Dore, LPC, operating now in cooperation with owner Diann Powell and manager Dr. Steven Powell.
