Getting to know Charles Hoy-Ellis

If you’re carrying old patterns, feeling disconnected from your emotions, or relying on self-sufficiency to get by, you don’t have to do it alone. I help adults in general and LGBTQIA+ adults in particular explore the deeper stories shaping their reactions and relationships. Together, we create space for insight and new possibilities. My approach My approach is relational and affirming, creating a space where you can explore your experiences without having to educate or justify your identity. I draw from psychodynamic therapy to understand the roots of patterns and practical modalities like CBT to support real-life change. Together, we’ll find the approaches that best fit your needs. My focus Whether exploring past trauma, identity-based stress, or long-term emotional numbness, therapy can be a place to finally breathe and make sense of what you’ve been carrying. I work with adults seeking deeper understanding of their inner world, greater emotional presence, and a more stable sense of self. Together, we’ll create a path toward healing. My communication style I communicate with warmth and clarity. I won’t rush you, but I will invite you to look a little deeper when it feels supportive. You can expect me to reflect patterns I notice, ask thoughtful questions, and offer insights that help connect past experiences with present emotions. I aim to create a space where honesty and challenge feel safe. My journey to mental healthcare My journey into mental health began with a personal loss that led me to dedicate my career to supporting LGBTQIA+ adults and others who carry complex stories and long-held struggles. I’m continually inspired by the courage clients bring into the therapy space and honored to walk alongside them as they move toward healing and self-understanding. My goals for you Goal-setting is something we build together, based on what feels most important and meaningful to you.
