Do you lack a sense of purpose? Do you vibe with the idea that there is something greater than you that makes the world go around but feel wounded or frustrated with all the paths you have traveled to find meaning in your life and experiences? Do you wonder if life should feel somehow better? Happier? Now, more than ever, people feel a nagging absence of direction and are uncertain about finding their place in life. They are overwhelmed with reading all the self-help books, following all the gurus, searching all the spiritual teachers, learning all the philosophies, and starting all the practices that promise to answer their existential questions. Meanwhile, they feel more confused and lost than when they started. I believe it shouldn't be that hard to connect to a higher power and feel its boundless love for YOU! I offer a custom approach for each of my clients. I start with understanding where you are now and your challenges. I help you put a plan in place to help you move forward and celebrate your successes along the way! I offer an inclusive, safe space with virtual appointments to suit your schedule and follow a holistic model to be sure we address all of your areas of need. My passion is helping people discover the most straightforward path to recognizing their inherent worthiness. It might mean setting boundaries, grieving loss, or helping you change a behavior pattern that keeps you stuck. My goal is to help you change your attitudes toward yourself, others, and the world so you can live the life you've always dreamed of! Contact me today, and we’ll get started on our journey together!

Hi! My name is Charnelle Cook and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Virginia with seven years of experience in the private practice setting. I attended Virginia Commonwealth University for undergrad and I earned my Masters of Arts in Counseling from George Washington University in 2016. I believe that all clients should be treated as individuals, but I would consider myself a strengths-based therapist; encouraging my clients to focus on the positives in their lives and the things that are going well for them and not on the things that are not going so well for them. I also utilize CBT (Cognitive Behavior Therapy) techniques when working with clients because I believe that when we are able to change our thinking, we are on the way to making changes in our lives. I believe that autonomy is important for clients when in therapy and take a person-centered approach, allowing my clients to lead their sessions with me. I believe that therapy is powerful and I love to help people work through their life challenges. Choosing to seek counseling services is a big decision to make, and I applaud you for making the first step in becoming the best version of yourself! If you send me a message during the day, I will try my best to respond within a few hours. I will respond to any messages received after 6pm on Fridays on Monday morning. In addition to sending me messages in your counseling room, you are also able to book live sessions with me by visiting my schedule and picking a time that works for you. Please remember that BetterHelp is not appropriate if you are in crisis or in immediate need of support. In crisis situations, please call 911 or local emergency services. You can also call 1-800-273-TALK (8255) to talk to someone right away! I look forward to working with you!
