I’ve been seeing Charlie for therapy, and I couldn’t be more grateful. From the start, he created a welcoming, judgment-free space where I felt safe to share my thoughts and emotions. Charlie not only listens with empathy but also equips me with practical tools and exercises that make a real difference in my day-to-day life. His insightful concepts often put things into perspective in ways I hadn’t considered before, helping me approach challenges with greater clarity and confidence. He balances professionalism with warmth, making each session something I look forward to.

Charlie made me feel instantly comfortable. He is very attuned to where my head is at and shares a lot of insightful and helpful ways of thinking, which keeps me working on myself between sessions. Even though our sessions are over video, it feels very personal. I look forward to my sessions with him.
