About Saskia Charles

Welcome!

My name is Saskia, and I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, and Master’s Level Certified Addiction Professional in the state of Florida.

I have over 17 years experience in the mental health field having worked in a variety of settings, to include residential, in home, addictions and outpatient programs. The journey has been both personally and professionally rewarding!

I have the most experience working with clients who are suffering from trauma, abuse, mood disorders, anxiety, adjustment, family conflicts and dynamics, which include blended families, and LGBTQI.

My approach to therapy can be described as eclectic.
I try my best to meet my clients where they are, to instill hope, and motivate them to change.

I look forward to hearing from you soon!
