Meet Me'Chele Frierson, Owner of
M Frierson Therapy

Me’Chele Frierson, LISW-S, a 13-year licensed psychotherapist whose practice, M Frierson Therapy is celebrating five years in business this March. Me’Chele moved to her Lee Road office four years ago where she has created a beautiful, welcoming space for her clients. After living in Ohio City for eleven years, she and her husband bought a home in Shaker’s Moreland neighborhood. They chose to move to Shaker because of the diverse community with strong historic Black roots and high-quality public education. It was also important to Me’Chele that she could live AND work in the same community.
 
Me’Chele works with people of all ages, including children and is especially passionate about serving individuals in marginalized communities to help address issues unique to these populations. She believes that “one’s mental/emotional health and ability to become self-aware are the key essentials to living a more realistic and healthy life.”
