Written on Jul 25, 2024 after therapy with Charlene for 1 year and 8 months on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, and grief
Charlene is amazing at not only listening to my concerns but providing coping skills to deal with my issues outside of therapy. I enjoy that she validates my feelings while still calling me out on my negative behaviors that I am trying to improve on. I have found (& been told) that I have improved overall in managing my emotions over the past year since starting therapy with Charlene.

Charlene continues to be such a huge help in me continuing to learn and understand myself. She recalls things that previously helped me or details that I don’t even remember telling her. She is attentive, patient, and empathetic. She validates my feelings and empowers me to believe in myself more. I am very grateful for her.
