My name is Lourna Charles. I am a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) in Pennsylvania. I have over 11 years of experience in the mental health field. I have worked with individuals, couples and families seeking counseling for various challenges. I appreciate the courage you displayed in seeking professional help. Many have endured these challenges in silence. This journey ahead may be challenging. It is my hope that I can assist you with finding peace, strength, and to develop appropriate strategies to cope and overcome life’s challenges. Through your therapeutic journey, I hope to empower and motivate you to make the necessary changes that would promote personal growth. This may involve discovering a different path, building skills to manage obstacles or working to eliminate obstacles altogether. My role also consists of helping you find courage, inspiration, and simply being present with you as you face and navigate through life’s challenging moments. My style of therapy involves providing a welcoming, warm, and encouraging environment. The two theoretical approaches that influence my style of therapy are Cognitive and Humanistic perspectives. I believe that everyone should be treated with dignity and respect. My approach to therapy is to meet people where they are. As your therapist, I would guide you in navigating your challenges and provide the appropriate support to help you reach your goals. Sharing personal problems with a stranger can be difficult. I provide a safe, nonjudgmental, and empathetic environment for you to discuss sensitive issues with assurance of confidentiality and emotional support. I believe that each significant event in one’s life impacts them in a unique way which creates resiliency. I hope to create a therapeutic setting where you feel safe to be open and honest with yourself about what you need and desire out of life. I am excited about the opportunity to assist you in identifying your strengths and natural supports to improve your overall happiness.

Hello to you! I am a licensed clinical social worker in Pennsylvania with 17 years of experience working as a psychotherapist. I have worked with clients presenting with a wide range of concerns including anxiety, mood issues, identity development, trauma, and struggle to find meaning and purpose, to name a few. I earned my Master of Social Work from the University of Pennsylvania in 2005, and I take seriously the importance of ongoing learning with regard to theory and practice of psychotherapy. My therapy style is warm and engaging with a strengths-based and client-centered approach. I especially resonate with an understanding of human experience grounded in Humanist and Existentialist Theory and Therapy. In working with clients in the process of the support, growth, change, or healing that they are seeking, I incorporate strategies and techniques from a variety of approaches like Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness. I also value the incorporation of a social justice-oriented understanding of the ways that clients' concerns may be caused or effected by systemic oppression such as racism, homophobia, transphobia, misogyny, ablism, ageism, or any other ways that clients' identities may experience difficulty in the world. I am a White, queer, able-bodied ciswoman (pronouns: she/her) of European descent, living and working in Pennsylvania which is the traditional land of the Lenni Lenape people.
