Hi, there! I am Charity Gordon, a licensed professional counselor. I love to form a unique relationship with each of my clients, centered around their unique needs and strengths. I focus on teens, adults, seniors -- individuals and couples counseling.
My approach
We seek counseling because we have been in pain – usually for a while. After trying to ignore or numb the pain, some of us may say to ourselves, “This is not working. I need help,” which are both brave and scary statements to make. My desire is to provide a safe place for people to explore their pain and find their own unique strengths and solutions for healing. I am client-centered, use cognitive-behavioral therapy and EMDR for clients with trauma backgrounds.
My focus
Most of my clients are managing anxious and/or depressive symptoms. I like to work with each client from where they are.
My communication style
Most people do not have a chance to interact with someone who gives them unconditional positive regard. My hope is to provide this for each of my clients.
My journey to mental healthcare
A therapist kind of saved my life when I was young. I can appreciate the value of a good counselor, so I want to provide that service to others as a way to give meaning to my life.
My goals for you
I let my clients lead the way in setting their goals because only they know what they goals they are actually ready and willing to set and work towards.
My first session with you
During our first session, my clients should expect a counselor who wants to get to know an overview of who you are. They should also expect a listening ear for your unique journey.
