I have had mental health issues for decades, and had to switch therapists many times do to moves. So I can say from experience Charity is one of the best in the profession. Kind, empathetic, intelligent, helps you uncovers truths by asking the right questions, and helps come up with solutions to problems that seem unsolvable. I couldn't recommend anyone more highly than I do her.

Written on Feb 27, 2023 after therapy with Charity for 2 months on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, and compassion fatigue

I am incredibly grateful for Charity's support as my therapist. She is an incredibly great listener, but more so, she is very understanding, empathetic and, most importantly, solution-oriented (using worksheets, journaling, specific coping techniques, etc.). She has been a pillar in a very turbulent time in my life and really goes out of her way to be available and responsive at all times. I can definitely whole-heartedly recommend Charity to others seeking an empathetic, structured, reliable and professional therapist.

Written on Nov 23, 2022 after therapy with Charity for 6 months on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship issues, trauma and abuse, self esteem, and coping with life changes

I have been working with Charity for a little over 6 months now, and have made so much personal progress in that time. With her help, I am finally working through issues I have avoided for years surrounding trauma, substance abuse, anxiety, depression, communication skills, and assertiveness, amongst other things. Charity has guided me with patience, empathy, and encouragement. I appreciate that I have found a therapist who acknowledges my growth, is non-judgmental, provides timely and constructive feedback, and helps keep me accountable. I would highly recommend Charity as a therapist, and am grateful to continuing to work with her going forward.

Charity is the most proactive therapist I’ve ever had. I always feel heard and respected in session. I’m amazed at how responsive and dedicated she is to her job. The progress I’ve seen in myself since seeing Charity amazes me, and I’m so grateful for her. She will go out of her way to schedule a session for me, and is always on time. She’s pushed me past what I thought my abilities were when it came to growth and healing. I would recommend Charity to all my friends!

I’ve been through 3 or 4 other therapists with other companies just trying to be “heard” and Charity is the first one who cares about MY goals, not what someone else wants me to do. And she is relatable because she is a real person and shares certain things she has learned to deal with. The more I talk to her the more I want to schedule more time because she is the accountability person I’ve needed.
