“Great listener, super easy to talk to!”

“I feel safe and supported by my therapist. She listens, responds in a timely manner, and has great insights. And, when I expressed concern over a specific dynamic I'd noticed, sent worksheets for me to complete on my own time to discuss at a later date.”

“I have loved my time with Charlar. She has, for years, been available to help me through it all. She is lovely, kind, and very wise.”

“Was very anxious to start therapy. Didn’t think in person was were I was at yet. <br /> Having the ability to text,call, or video for my appointments has made it so much easier!”

“She is an amazing therapist who listens to you and doesn’t judge at all. She makes you come to your own conclusions and then offers advice.”

“Charlar is always on time and offers great insights during our session. She helps me to realize how capable I am and to work through my stress”

“She has been amazing and the highlight of my week really feel heard and cared for”

“Good listener.”

“You can tell she really cares and is always ready to listen to whatever is going on in your life. She also has many good ways of getting you to come to your own conclusions.”

“Charlar is punctual and respectful. She provides support in a kind and caring manner. She helps me to build my self confidence by helping me identify what I do well and supports me in recognizing when and where in my life I require more support.”

“Charlar was great it was only my first session but she listened to everything and commented on things when she needed to. I am looking forward to breaking down everything and working on things with her.”

“I have been to therapy before and have dealt with multiple therapist and though they did help me; Charlar has been the absolute best therapist I’ve had. She listens, is respectful, adapts to the style of therapy that best suites me and most importantly always tells me the truth. She gives very solid advice and genuinely wants to see the best from you.”

“It's still early into the therapy but I'm digging it”

“Straight talk. No chaser. I'm able to just flow, be open, and simply just be me with her. I strongly recommend her for therapy.”

“Charlar is a compassionate and engaged therapist. I appreciate her pragmatic and flexible approach, and felt listened to and supported in every session.”
