Charisse has changed my life! She continues to help me find new insights, and she is so warm and comforting. Anytime I feel like there's no hope, she will find the right words to not only comfort me, but also assure me that not only is there hope, but there's absolutely a path forward!
I learn so much from her every day! I am unwinding deep issues like peeling an onion. Issues I've had for over two decades and built up over a long period of time.

Written by M.E on Dec 29, 2016 after therapy with Charisse for 2 weeks on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, self esteem, and bipolar

Charisse has been nothing short of amazing for me. She replies by the next business day and actually listens to what I'm saying instead of just telling me what to do and how I feel.

It's been a very comforting journey thus far knowing that a lot of what I'm feeling isn't abnormal and I can definitely get better.

Charisse has a very kind and gentle way of working, and I always feel as though she cares deeply. She always responds thoughtfully to my questions and concerns, without judgement, Charisse has a real gift for asking the right kinds of questions to enable me to reflect on my experiences and on myself. I have enjoyed and benefitted from her useful advice on my behaviours and the worksheets she has provided. I am very grateful to have been matched with Charisse. She has and continues to help me greatly. Thank you Charisse.

Written by D.A on Aug 12, 2016 after therapy with Charisse for 2 months on issues concerning stress, anxiety, addictions, lgbt, relationship, family, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related, self esteem, bipolar, and depression

Charisse is very helpful and very punctual with her responses. The thing about therapy is that you only het out of it what you put into it...like anything else...it takes work. When rating a counselor you have to keep that in mind.

That being said...5 stars!

Written by C.O on Aug 08, 2016 after therapy with Charisse for 1 week on issues concerning relationship, and intimacy-related

Charisse is incredible. She's a great listener, extremely supportive, and also makes me feel so much better talking with her. She often gives very specific advice that has been super useful, and turned out to be spot-on correct every time in terms of resolving problems that have come up in my marriage. Highly, highly recommended!

Written by H.A on Aug 05, 2016 after therapy with Charisse for 1 month on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, family, and self esteem

Charisse has really listened to what I've been telling her. She's asked the right questions to help and has never scolded me or told me an opinion or thought was wrong. She is also completely sympathetic without feeling sorry for me which can be annoying when trying to get help. I really appreciate her positive attitude and encouragement even in the worst of my story.

I cannot put into words how glad I am that I found Charisse. She is very understanding of your issues and she will make sure that you are getting the counseling that you need. Also, she is always checking on you. If I could give 10 stars I would! Thanks!! You are the best!!

I moved to Japan recently for work and Laurie has been a big help getting through the adjustment period. I was having major anxiety issues before coming here and she has been VERY supportive and positive. If I don't talk to her for a couple days she will check up on me and ask how I'm doing.

Charisse is wonderful! She's just one of the best human beings I have ever had the pleasure of interacting with. I see her as a friendly and wise Jedi master who makes me think, gives me comfort and peace. I feel like I want to pour my heart out to her, and I almost always do. She reads every single thing I write - patiently and gently. I cried tears of joy today after only one week of talking to her, and there's still so much more to look forward to. I kid you not. I literally cried with comfort and happiness for two whole hours.
