Great to meet you!

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist working with children, adolescents, and families for over 10 years. I use a collaborative approach in understanding your heart and mind which often helps ease the pain of processing problem areas. I specialize in working with adolescents, TAY, adults, families, and couples in addressing problematic issues while exploring and learning new ways to increase self-awareness, in order to connect with the world around them.

A bit about my approach to therapy

I use a collaborative approach to address issues through the lens of CBT, TF-CBT, and psychodynamic.

What you can expect from our first session

My clients can expect to take away self-awareness, growth, and an understanding of how to connect with the world around them.

Charlene's style is

Direct
Inquisitive
Empowering
