“As a man seeking therapy, I always felt judged when meeting new therapists. That was not the case with Charles. He makes me feel good about wanting to improve in life and really motivates me to do better. I've opened up to him about things even my closest friends don't know about me. I highly recommend! ”

Getting to know Charles Smith

People are far more than the challenges that bring them to therapy. I strive to get to know the whole person, not just what brings them in, and build our work together from there. As a biracial male, my own journey has been deeply informed by navigating identity and trauma. These personal experiences sparked my desire to create a therapeutic space where others facing multicultural challenges, PTSD, depression, or anxiety know they are not alone.

What should a new client know about working with you?

My Core Focuses are: - Teens, Men's Mental Health, and Elder Adults - Multicultural Challenges - Trauma and PTSD - Anxiety and Stress - Depression - Emotional Regulation - Anger Management - Impulse Control - Communication & Relationships

What is your typical process for working with clients?

My approach is rooted in a strengths-based, trauma-informed perspective that recognizes every person's capacity for resilience and growth. Because I understand the weight of carrying painful life experiences, I hold an open, non-judgmental space specifically geared toward helping you process your experiences and transform it into personal growth.
