My name is Dr. Charles Tipton, I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor based in Chicago. I have 20 years of professional experience. I received my MS from Purdue University. I earned my Ph.D. in Human Sexuality at IASSCS. I work with individuals and couples. I am a kink-aware, sex-positive therapist. I have experienced with ENM individuals and couples. I have worked in hospitals, substance abuse clinics, with unhoused veterans and at universities. All of these experiences have made me a better person and counselor. I believe meaning and purpose are important factors in our lives. If we don’t have meaning or purpose we can feel empty and without direction. Life is a narrative and every chapter in our book is unique. I admire anyone who has the courage to find their purpose and fulfill their needs. Being vulnerable is scary. Can you learn to say no to the negative, so you can say yes to the things you value? I am empathetic, but I can be direct and I know I am not for everyone. I expect my clients to do the work required in therapy and I expect my clients to demand the same from me. One more thing….. I like to laugh and have fun. Here’s what my client’s say: “Dr. Tipton does not shy away from giving you sound advice that comes from a place of complete sensibility and care. He delivers his advice in an empathetic way to let you understand that he is listening to you. He actively engages in conversation and constantly validates you if you're having doubts about anything, but he's not overbearing at all.” “His ability to really just level with you is appreciated. He continuously is changing my perspective so as to change the negative views I’ve been having. Overall, he is phenomenal.” “He truly listens to what you are saying and gives advice that fits to your immediate and long term needs.” Scheduling note: My appointments are often by phone. If you can do a phone session it’s easier for me to open a spot for you. We can do a video session, but fastest way to schedule a session is by phone. I hope to meet you soon.

I have always been a big fan of Dolly Parton's quote "If you don't like the road you're walking, start paving a new one." However, paving a new path for ourselves can be overwhelming and I feel that no one should have to do that alone. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over a decade of experience in the field of social services. I became a therapist to help people navigate life transitions and cope with anxiety disorders. I have worked in a variety of settings including social service agencies and private practice groups. The majority of my work has been assisting undergraduate and graduate students with navigating their challenging academic programs as well as assisting young professionals (especially new teachers and social workers) to navigate the anxiety and stress associated with starting their career which can present numerous challenges with anxiety and setting boundaries. I have also developed experience in assisting adult gay men in coming out by being an informed clinician in processing the challenges that have come with living with unaccepting family members and friend groups and providing support and coping strategies to deal with this difficult process. As a lifelong gamer myself, who has played on numerous video game competitive teams, I am informed and affirming about video games. This is an important quality for some client's to be aware of as I feel this quality about me allows a reduction in the propensity for introducing a negative bias toward video games in the therapy space. Therapy is a flexible space that looks different for every client. However, in general, you can expect a client-centered approach and I tend to also draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. As you begin to start paving that new road, I'll come along and help guide this process using these tools and provide support, help you build awareness, work toward a reduction in symptoms, and provide encouragement as you move through your experience.
