About
Doug Cerasi
I am born and raised in Westchester County, NY. After high school, I attended college in Charlotte, NC. After spending the better part of two decades in Charlotte, the calling of home and the northeast became powerful and in the latter part of 2021 my family and I moved to Fairfield, CT.
​
Having experienced several difficult life events (and having benefited from counseling), and while looking for a career change after 11 years as a teacher, I decided to go back to school to be a mental health counselor. I graduated from The University of North Carolina at Charlotte in 20018 with a Master’s degree in in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. I have been in practice since 2018 and have worked in a variety of settings including schools, community mental health, substance abuse clinics and group practice settings. My experience includes work with both adolescents and adults.
