Charles Thornton, NP

Family Psychiatric & Mental Health Nurse Practitioner
PA
Hi there, I'm Charles! With over 30 years in nursing, including six as a psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner, I am committed to fostering a therapeutic space built on empathy and trust. My goal is to support your journey toward mental wellness and personal growth. My focus I work with adults seeking support for anxiety disorders, depression, ADHD, PTSD, and OCD. My goal is to provide comprehensive, individualized care to help you manage symptoms and improve your overall well-being. My approach My approach is person-centered and collaborative, empowering you to take an active role in your well-being. I use Motivational Interviewing to explore and strengthen your motivation for change, integrating CBT principles to identify and challenge unhelpful thought patterns. My communication style I actively listen and communicate clearly, using accessible language and avoiding jargon. You'll experience empathy, validation, and shared decision-making where your voice is central. Sessions are unhurried, allowing time to express yourself, ask questions, and process information in a warm, non-judgmental space. My journey to mental healthcare My journey into mental healthcare began with service in the Army Reserves and continued through diverse nursing settings. I witnessed that mental health challenges affect people from all walks of life. I believe there is nothing to be ashamed of in seeking support. My goals for you We'll collaboratively explore your vision for well-being and set SMART goals with compassion and flexibility. I focus on your strengths and resources, regularly reviewing progress and adapting as needed. The emphasis is on process and progress, not perfection, fostering sustainable recovery through self-compassion and consistent effort.
