Thank you for choosing Paula S. Newman, PLLC Behavioral Health Counseling and Consulting dba Family Enrichment Associates. My name is Ché McDowell and I recently joined the team as a mental health executive assistant. I am currently working toward two Baccalaureate degrees (BS and BA) in Neuroscience and English & Comparative Literature through the honors college at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Following my undergraduate education, I hope to pursue a Ph.D. in Cognitive Neuroscience to study the neurological impact of societal, widespread traumatic events on children and adolescents. Being an undergraduate student, my work remains under the supervision of licensed counselors and psychologists.

As an executive assistant overseeing social media management, communication, research, and marketing for current and potential clients, I am highly interactive in the behind-the-scenes work of Family Enrichment Associates. This means that I utilize the goals of this company and its cherished clients to, in turn, help you create a plan for healing and progress. I believe that it is through employing one's passion, respect, and honesty surrounding mental health, that this can be achieved; and, I am excited to help facilitate you reaching this achievement in the best way possible.
