Charles West

Charles West is a dedicated therapist who understands that many individuals may function well but still feel a sense of incompleteness or confusion in their lives. He recognizes that what clients know to be true may not always align with their feelings, and some may experience limited control over their behaviors in certain areas. Even those who enter therapy with a clear reason often discover deeper layers of their experiences. Charles views therapy as a journey of healing and adaptation rather than merely eliminating unhealthy behaviors. He acknowledges that the strategies that once served clients well may no longer be effective, and together, they will work towards finding a new path forward. His goal is to listen attentively, remain present, and build an authentic relationship within the therapeutic space. Over time, clients can expect to clarify their goals and navigate through the obstacles and underlying conflicts they face. Charles aspires for every individual to feel more understood, empowered, and capable of making conscious choices as they progress in therapy. He emphasizes the importance of a good fit in the therapeutic relationship and encourages potential clients to reach out with any questions, highlighting a collaborative atmosphere in the healing process. With a focus on issues such as depression, addiction, trauma, and LGBTQ+ support, Charles employs a range of therapeutic modalities including psychodynamic and culturally sensitive approaches, working with individuals, couples, and groups.
