Charlie made me feel instantly comfortable. He is very attuned to where my head is at and shares a lot of insightful and helpful ways of thinking, which keeps me working on myself between sessions. Even though our sessions are over video, it feels very personal. I look forward to my sessions with him.

Charlie has been very helpful in my navigation of how traumatic events in my past have affected my ability to form connections in the queer community. Charlie has been a great listener who offers wonderful advice. I am so grateful to have started this therapeutic connection.

Charlie has made me feel extremely comfortable with therapy. I haven’t had the greatest experience with therapy in the past, but I feel very safe with him and he definitely has the experience to back it up.
