Getting to know Charlie McDonough
Hello,
Thanks for stopping by. Are you struggling with your thoughts, emotions, or behaviors? Have you noticed that you keep struggling with the same thoughts over and over? Do your emotions seem to prevent you from living the life you want and being the person you want to be? Are your behaviors primarily geared toward avoiding things that trigger uncomfortable thoughts and emotions? Has avoiding things made your life seem smaller... less fulfilling? Do you notice that your body is tense a lot of the time? Let's work together to create a more fulfilling and enjoyable life!
I have 15 years of experience working in psychiatry and feel comfortable seeing most common diagnoses including depression, anxiety, PTSD, bipolar, OCD, higher functioning autism, schizophrenia, ADHD, borderline personality disorder, and more. I hold a Master's degree in Psychiatric Mental Health Nursing from Wilkes University, which has equipped me with the knowledge and skills to provide comprehensive care.
This is your life and you are in charge! I strive to empower you as the head of your treatment team. My job is to make recommendations and bring awareness to blind spots. We will work together using therapy and medications when appropriate to help you live your best life!
What should a new client know about working with you?
During our first session, we will establish a working diagnosis and come up with a treatment plan to help you get to feeling better as fast as possible. We will work on how to handle thoughts and emotions. When appropriate, we will use medications to manage symptoms that are beyond what therapy and life changes can make. We will use the least amount of medication possible to help you to feel stable and functional. Long term, we will look to reduce medication when appropriate as you learn to better manage your thoughts and emotions.

More information on payments and coverage
Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.
