Getting to know Charlotte Watley
My name is Charlotte Watley. I am a Marriage and Family Therapist and a professional listener by trade. My training is based on Family Systems theory. From a Depth perspective, using a psychoanalytic psychodynamic framework, we work together to build a stronger you. Log on, sit down, and share—I will listen!
I hold a Master’s in Social Work from Antioch University, a PhD from Pacifica Graduate Institute, and a Bachelor’s degree from California State University.
My approach
I have been practicing since 2010, working with single parents, married couples, dating couples, individuals, children, and adolescents. I have treated Anxiety, ADHD, diversity issues, LGBTQI+ concerns, Veterans, Foster Care youth, Juvenile Detention populations, Academic Problems, Career Issues, Parenting children with Special Needs, Caring for aging parents, and Coping with family members who have disorders and addictions.
My focus
I support you and keep your goals in mind. I feel at ease working with individuals who want to make emotional and behavioral changes that improve and stabilize their lives.
My communication style
I am light-hearted, warm, and a comedian. I promote assertive communication and encourage being direct about your needs.
My journey to mental healthcare
At the end of the day, I believe it’s more important to live and thrive than to be in constant survival. I needed a therapist where family, friends, and community could not help. I want to be that for you!
My goals for you
I ask clients what they want to accomplish, then ask clarifying questions to confirm I understand. I co-create treatment goals with all clients.
My first session with you
I address what I perceive as issues right away. I take clients seriously—if they have had therapy before, I treat them like experts. For those new to therapy, I take more time to build rapport. I hope all clients, new and seasoned, come ready to work. Homework will be assigned.
