Chardonnay Badchkam

Hello, my name is Char. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor. I have chosen to dedicate my life to helping others find the path they are meant to be on. I am passionate about helping all who seek counseling. My goal is to help you to be in the driver's seat to your emotions, guiding you towards your true potential, and helping you build true connections with healthy fulfilling relationships. I want to help you to understand the wisdom that comes from working with your feelings.

I use a Psychoanalytic approach. Psychoanalysis basically means a kind of talk therapy that explores things you may be doing unconsciously, which may have a significant impact on the way you feel and behave. Some of these unconscious things may have led you to seek help, as you are aware of a problem, but not quite sure how you got to that point. I work more with listening to your feelings rather than thoughts. Feelings are important, and can guide you to where you're supposed to go.

The goal is to seek mindfulness by bringing processes that you are unaware of to the surface, then help you get into the driver's seat to your emotions rather than you letting your emotions drive you out of control. This is what competent quality therapy is, and the staple of my approach to helping you on your journey towards mental wellness. This process takes time and patience. In our work together I build an honest, non-critical, warm, and consistent environment to help you reach your goal.
