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!
