Mohanne Charles, LICSW, LCSW
About me
Warm greetings to you! My name is Mo and I am a therapist with over 15 years of experience supporting clients through trauma, anxiety, grief, chronic stress, relationship stress, life transitions, people pleasing, boundaries, and emotional overwhelm. I am based in New York and also licensed in New Jersey, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Maryland, Ohio, and North Carolina. I work with clients who may look like they are holding everything together on the outside while privately feeling anxious, shut down, overwhelmed, grief-heavy, or tired of being the “strong one.”
My therapy style is warm, direct, collaborative, and grounded. I believe therapy should offer a space where you can slow down, feel supported, and begin understanding the patterns that have shaped how you cope, relate, protect yourself, and move through the world.
My approach is trauma-informed, holistic, and evidence-based. I integrate somatic therapy, mindfulness, nervous system education, practical coping tools, and a deep respect for each client’s lived experience.
Therapy with me is not about judgment, pressure, or pretending everything is fine. It is about creating room for honesty, self-understanding, healing, and change. Together, we can work toward helping you feel more connected to yourself, more grounded in your body, clearer in your relationships, and more supported as you move forward.
