Chartier Therapy Group

Chartier, a licensed professional counselor, brings over 13 years of experience to their practice. They understand that therapy can feel strange and challenging, as clients share intimate secrets with someone they may not know well. Chartier emphasizes the significance of the therapeutic relationship, believing it to be the cornerstone of effective therapy. Throughout their career, they have worked with various populations, including single mothers, couples, families, children and teenagers, as well as the LGBT community. Chartier treats each client with the utmost respect, compassion, sincerity, and honesty, similar to how they would care for their own family members. They approach therapy not just as a constructive tool but also as a fun and engaging experience. With children and adolescents, Chartier employs play therapy techniques which involve board games, art, music, and sports to help young clients express their feelings and channel their energy. They believe real change transcends the traditional office setting and that clients should be equipped with practical tools to navigate everyday challenges. With over a decade of experience in Emergency Rooms, Chartier is also adept at managing crises, having handled suicide assessments, mental illness, behavioral issues, hospitalizations, and grief counseling. Their unique dual experience blends crisis intervention with outpatient care, allowing them to discern when clients require additional support.
