Charlie makes me feel heard

Finding a therapist that you can connect with and feel comfortable with can take time. Being aware of this, I was pleasantly surprised with how quickly I was able to feel that Charlie cares deeply and is undoubtedly passionate about helping others. He listens well and has the expertise which I believe can help me in the best ways possible. He is easy to understand and he is easy to communicate with. I'm very lucky and so thrilled to have him as my therapist!! I am excited to continue my journey in learning and progressing as an individual with Charlie's help. Great things are yet to come!

I have really enjoyed having Charles as my therapist so far. He is very kind and listens to me but also challenges my thoughts to help me think of scenarios in a different way.
