Regina Charles

Know that I bring over 7 years of experience and a genuinely holistic, open-minded approach to every session. Expect a therapist who leads with empathy rather than clinical distance. I've spent my career working with people navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, and questions of identity, and I understand that those experiences are often shaped by culture, race, gender, and community in ways textbooks rarely capture. Trust that you can bring your full self here, including the parts of your story that feel complicated or hard to name.

Expect collaboration, not direction. I see you as the expert on your own life, and my role is to help you access the strengths you already have. Draw on a flexible toolkit that includes CBT, Trauma-Focused CBT, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and psychodynamic and somatic approaches, matched to what you actually need rather than a one-size-fits-all protocol. Count on a nonjudgmental space where your pace sets the agenda, especially around trauma, identity, or family dynamics that took years to develop and deserve real time to unpack.

Expect an unhurried conversation, not an intake checklist read aloud. Share what's brought you to therapy in whatever order makes sense to you. I'll ask questions to understand your history, your current stressors, and what "better" would actually look like in your life. Leave the first session with a shared sense of direction, not homework you're not ready for. Book evening or weekday virtual sessions, since most of my current openings run outside standard 9-5 hours, which tends to fit best for working adults and caregivers balancing therapy with a full schedule.
