I began working with children and youth in 1986 and continued until 2003.

Presently, I am employed in the prison system where I am working with the adult population, 19 years old to 70 years. As therapist, I use a caring and supportive style with my clients, believing that they are coming because they need assistance in being able to function and cope with various stressors impacting each lives. My treatment approach is one of understanding and not judgmental. I understand that the client's self-determination is most significant in the counseling relationship. I believe that the client is the most important person in the session and hence in order to help, I need to listen to rather than to tell each what to do.

20 years of experience

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.

Some other commonly asked questions on therapy with a licensed counselor and BetterHelp serving the Mount Vernon area can be found below:

How does the cost of in-person counseling with a therapist compare to the cost of BetterHelp with a licensed Mount Vernon therapist?

The average price of an in-person therapy session in the US with most therapists is $100 to $200 per hour. These prices may be higher in Mount Vernon due to a higher cost of living, and a limited number of therapists taking new clients. The price also depends on the type of provider you are looking for. See the following average prices for various mental health providers without insurance:

  • Counseling with a psychiatrist: $150-$500
  • Counseling with therapists: $100-300
  • Therapy with a psychologist: $100

While many psychologists in Mount Vernon may not take health insurance, some in the state of Illinois may work on a sliding scale, meaning they'll factor in your income and charge what you can afford per session. With a BetterHelp therapist throughout the state of Illinois you can expect significantly more affordable options, with therapists sessions ranging from $65 to $100 per week (billed every four weeks).

Therapists have been qualified and certified by their state's professional board after successfully completing the necessary education, exams, training and practice with a patient, and extensive experience in a healthcare clinic or treatment centers, in order to become a mental health provider.

How do I know if online counseling is right for my family in Mount Vernon?

One of the potentially rewarding aspects of working with a Mount Vernon therapist is the validation and active listening they can provide. Your friends and loved ones may also be available to listen, but you may feel that they may lack the skills to provide objective guidance. Counselors and therapists are trained to respond to various concerns, symptoms, and mental health conditions.

Therapists in your city can support you toward a healthier emotional state, regardless of your mental health, life concerns, or healing needs. While supporting individuals in developing healthier habits, another good benefit of Mount Vernon therapy is having an understanding, safe space with a non-judgmental party who can support you through challenging experiences.

A Mount Vernon therapist can help you confront these concerns and open up through unique methods of support.

How should I prepare for my first therapy session with a Mount Vernon counselor?

Before seeing your Mount Vernon therapist, prep for your session by reading to understand the process. You might write a list of questions you want to ask your psychotherapist, any emotional pain you may feel, and the ways in which you hope to improve. When you attend your session, you can let our therapists know if you have any concerns or feel unsure about what to talk about. Mount Vernon therapists here may help guide you with open-ended therapeutic questions while offering mental health services. The first session will often serve as an intake to get to know you as a person and learn why you're attending therapy.

Should I find a therapist or psychologist for therapy if I feel fine? 

Some simply don't feel the need to see a psychologist. However, some people may avoid attending therapy due to stigma or preconceived notions of what it might entail. Although psychologists often support people with mental health conditions, you do not need a diagnosis or specific condition. You can discuss grief, relationship concerns, stress, or life changes and ask for general feedback. A Mount Vernon licensed clinical social worker may help you gain power over your life and emotions while you navigate day-to-day experiences.

Gaining a new perspective on yourself through various therapies might allow you to improve your self-esteem, work through relationships, and gain a better sense of your mental health goals. The success you may find with a Mount Vernon counselor can be dependent on your process.

People may also attend therapy for specific motives, such as bullying, an autism diagnosis, a desire to learn mindfulness meditation, personality concerns, trouble with office workers, specific phobias, and many other principles that a counselor can help with.

Is mental health care and therapy with a therapist worth it?

Therapy with a licensed counselor is effective and has the power to change individuals' lives. Each client is at a different stage of their emotional healing journey in life, as each human can be unique in their personality, expression, skills, and goals. A psychologist can target various symptoms, experiences, and personalities to help you feel your best and put you on the path to healing. Unlike advice from a friend, family, or non-professional, a mental health therapist has an understanding of various disorders like ADHD and depression with many hours of experience in treating adults in their practice. For this reason, seeing an evidence based psychologist in Mount Vernon, Illinois can be worth it. Over 41 million adults in the US attend therapy services each year, showing it's a popular option and is proven to be effective.

Many people struggling with anxiety and depression, substance abuse, body image issues, and more find therapists that are a good fit for them, feel supported, and gain further insight into their lives through internet-based therapy.

Do therapists judge you in therapy sessions during telehealth appointments?

The boundaries between you and a therapist are in place to help you and them regarding ethical concerns. Mental health professionals are held by ethical standards through the American Psychological Association (APA) and are not allowed to judge or harm their clients. If you are concerned about sharing details about yourself, feel free to withhold personal information. Their job in the therapeutic relationship is to create a safe place, help you gain a deeper understanding of your mental health, and support you. You might consider changing counselors if you don't feel safe or respected.
