About Cheryl
Cheryl E. Duke, MA, NCC, LPC-S is a graduate of Texas State University San Marcos with a Bachelor's Degree in Communication Disorders and a Master's Degree in Professional Counseling specializing in marriage and family therapy. Along with earning her degrees, she is a National Certified Counselor as well as a Licensed Professional Counselor and Supervisor in the state of Texas. Cheryl has been assisting adoptive families for several years and has worked closely with attorneys, the courts, agencies, and the Interstate Compact on the Placement of Children (ICPC).
I am a licensed professional counselor approved to conduct pre and post-adoptive home study evaluations, custody social study evaluations, as well as provide counseling services to adoptive families. Unlike other home study agencies I work for myself, as an independent evaluator. I will personally be taking every step of your adoption journey with you, and I consider it a great honor to do so. I have gained invaluable experience not only in the adoption field, but also as a forensic evaluator for Comal, Hays, Guadalupe, and Bexar counties and genuinely enjoy traveling across the state meeting and assisting prospective families.
