Getting to know Kelly Charles
I’m Kelly L. Charles, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with experience providing evidence-based therapy to individuals, couples, and families across diverse backgrounds and life stages. My approach is client-centered, culturally responsive, and grounded in practical, skills-based interventions. I work collaboratively with clients to address concerns such as anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, relationship challenges, and life transitions. I strive to create a supportive, nonjudgmental space where clients feel understood, empowered, and equipped with tools that support meaningful and lasting change.
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
In your first session, we’ll focus on getting to know you, what brings you to therapy, and what you hope to gain from our work together. I’ll ask questions about your current concerns, background, and strengths, while also making space for you to share at your own pace. We’ll begin identifying goals and discussing next steps, including tools or strategies that may be helpful between sessions. My goal is for you to leave the first session feeling heard, supported, and clear about how therapy can help.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
What stands out about my approach is the balance of empathy and structure. I provide a supportive, nonjudgmental space while also offering clear guidance, evidence-based strategies, and practical tools clients can use right away. Therapy with me is collaborative and goal-oriented, with an emphasis on insight, accountability, and real-life application. Clients often report feeling more confident, regulated, and equipped to navigate challenges both during and between sessions.

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.
