Charles Calantone

I bring a calm, supportive, and down-to-earth presence to therapy. I want clients to feel comfortable being honest about what they're experiencing, even when it's difficult or doesn't fully make sense to them yet. My goal is to help clients feel understood while also challenging them to make meaningful changes in their lives.

Focus Treatment Areas: Anxiety, OCD, Panic Disorder, Depression / Mood Disorders, Relationship Issues, Life Transitions, Self-Esteem,

Additional Focus Areas: Social Anxiety, Health Anxiety, Perfectionism, Attachment / Relationship Concerns, Emotional Regulation, Specific Phobias, Autism Spectrum Disorder

My approach draws primarily from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness, and exposure-based approaches such as Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), when appropriate. I focus on helping clients understand the patterns that may be keeping them stuck and develop more flexible ways of responding to difficult thoughts, emotions, and experiences. I take a collaborative approach, working with each client to understand what they need and determine what will be most helpful.

During our first session, we'll spend some time getting to know each other and understanding what brings you to therapy. We'll talk about the concerns you're experiencing, how they're affecting your day-to-day life and relationships, and what you'd like to be different. My goal is for you to leave the first session feeling heard, with a clearer sense of what we'll be working on together. As part of Inspire Learning Partners, I want therapy to feel like a supportive partnership where we can start where you are and work together toward meaningful, sustainable growth.
