Charlie is the therapist that I need. We can talk about anything that I’m interested in whether that’s sports, movies, games, or the real things. Struggles, anxieties, fears, and depression. Charlie will listen and hit you with some great perspective building. He will support you and more importantly will let you know when you’re not doing something right. He’s as much as a coach, which is what I prefer, as he is a therapist. I’m super grateful for Charlie!

Charlie’s great man. Always had good times open that work really for me. On time and really good at listening. Not just listening though, gives me therapy goals to pursue in the meantime which is pretty huge. Very friendly but knows when to hop right into what’s been bothering me the past week. I haven’t seen to many therapists but he from my point of view he is a great one!
