What was your experience working with CR Counseling? How did you create change?
My experience with CR Counseling was great. I was able to learn so much about myself and grow into a more confident person. Charlie taught me so much on navigating through my emotions. I have created change by implementing grace which has helped me react and process through life, situations, and encounters with others better.

I had a great experience working with CR Counseling. When I first started back in September, I felt so lost, broken and unsure. I knew that I needed someone who would allow me to feel those things without judgment and I found that with Charlie. Even though the times she challenged me weren’t fun, I knew it was always needed. There was times with my old therapist where I felt the need to hide certain things from her, but that wasn’t the case with Charlie. I knew that even with the hard, ugly, uncomfortable stuff, I would be met with the same level of compassion. She challenged me to dig deep and uncover and confront some things that I didn’t even know were there. Charlie helped me to recognize that I didn’t always have to keep my wall up and that leaning on other people for support doesn’t make me a burden. I feel better equipped for the next part of my journey because of the work I’ve been able to do with Charlie.

My experience working with CR Counseling was truly life-changing. Charlie is one of the best counselors I've ever encountered and she is phenomenal. I initially began my journey of therapy for grief, loss, and racial trauma concerns, but my time with her opened me up to so many unhealed experiences I was able to work through. Charlie gave me that sense of comfortability that convinced me that there was strength in my vulnerability. While working with Charlie, I was able to create healthy self-care coping skills for self-doubt, insecurity issues, and life transitions. My biggest breakthrough was the concept of boundary-setting and what maintaining healthy boundaries meant for myself and others. This journey of healing helped me to become a mental health advocate and I am forever grateful to have had Charlie in my corner affirming me, supporting me, and uplifting me. She became a part of my support system. I am extremely proud of my growth. I would highly recommend CR Counseling to any and every one. My biggest takeaways from my therapy experience are two words: Grace and Gratitude.

I had a wonderful experience working with CR Counseling. I came in to therapy to receive perspective and I believe Charlie did exactly that for me. She was able to point out areas where I was caught in negative thought patterns, but most of all she just listened and allowed me to be my most vulnerable self, which is not someone that I often share with the world. I will greatly miss our time spent working together.

We didn’t write a review right away because we had a “ too soon to tell “ feeling. Mainly because we were still processing and transitioning towards our change. One day I came up to my husband and said” I think we are ready to write a review” he asked how did I know , I replied “ we had to live in our change to honestly be able to know we are doing the work”. I'm grateful that my husband and I were OPEN to the process of repairing something that wasn’t broken but needed some special attention. Charlie, it’s amazing how talking to you for 50 minute sessions can give two humans who want to simply just be better for each other the courage to be vulnerable and the tools to help do the work! You helped to CLOSE chapters that will never be reread and helped us illustrate our point of views from a place of understanding and respect. Thank you for your guidance and unbiased approach. I think it goes without saying but, we will never forget the person who helped change our life! Thank you.

What was the most helpful part of therapy with CR Counseling? ​

What has the most helpful part of your process at CR Counseling?
Being able to talk to someone about the things I was struggling with and who was unbiased. When talking to friends, I normally get stuck but when talking with Charlie, she helped me work through why I was stuck. Charlie didn't tell me what to do but helped me look at the different things I can do. For example, I had to explain that my therapist wasn't telling me I had to give my mom a hug but she discussed the benefits of being affectionate and communicating properly which led me to make my own decision to hug my mom more.

When I first came to you in September, I felt like I was literally drowning. I feel like I'm in a totally different headspace. Being able to open up and get feedback from someone other than the people I'm surrounded by every day was definitely helpful. Sometimes I felt like a burden on my support system. I didn’t have to worry about being a burden when meeting with you.

Grief
My therapy experience aided in increasing my insight on how to live freely despite traumatic change. The setting was cozy and comfortable. The questioning techniques and guidance helped me to asses my situation, recognize the affects of grief on my body and mind, and develop strategies living a healthy abundant life even though my loved ones are not here. I've discovered the value of my emotions and important role they play in enhancing my life.

Saving Our Marriage
When we decided to seek therapy, our marriage was in a ruck. Even though we had been married for almost a year, we couldn't stand to look at each other. Ms. Charlie helped us see the value of our marriage while showing us new ways of talking to each other. She didn't take sides either. She challenged both of us to take responsibility for our actions and hold each other accountable for change. We are very thankful for making the decision to start therapy. Thank you Ms. Charlie!!

PROGRESS
I have completed 5 sessions so far and I can honestly say I appreciate the collaborative approach to finding a solution to my issues. I have learned so much about how thoughts/emotions can affect how you feel about yourself. I have implemented what I have learned into my day to day activities, work, and dating. I appreciate the counselor and client relationship because it is an open, honest, and transparent dialogue between us.

Great Start to My Journey of Growth
Although I’ve only had a few sessions, I must say that Charlie is an instant match for me! I’ve been in therapy before, but I’m glad to be connecting so well with Charlie! She provides such a safe space and sense of comfortability to her clients, and I can tell she is very driven in her purpose of helping others heal. She even picked up on a non-verbal social cue that I had not even recognized before and we evaluated that! Impressive to say the least! I’m excited on this journey we’re embarking on.

I Can Choose...
I knew I needed to reach out for help when I could no longer control my emotions after I found about my ex-husband’s indiscretions. But I didn’t want to see just anyone – I wanted to be guided by someone who could relate to me, my emotions, and my experiences on an intimate level. I came across CR Counseling while browsing for Black therapists in my area, and Charlie was just the person I needed at that time. She made me feel comfortable and safe in her cozy office, able to express my emotions in a way I typically won’t – not even with family or friends. I learned so much about myself in the three months I was in her care. But most importantly, I have gained a sense of control – I can choose to not let my negative thoughts drive me into a deep depression; I can choose which relationships deserve my effort; and I can choose to be happy. Thank you, Charlie, for helping me. And I’m sure you’ll go on to be a blessing to so many others that need a kindred face to help see them through their darkest times

​Amazing counselor
This was my second counseling session and it was great. We uncovered some things that I had hidden and convinced myself that I was healed from them. I am getting everything I need and more from these sessions. I am truly pleased and I’m looking forward to the sessions to come and truly healing.

I have never been so sure about a decision....
Charlie is truly called to do what she does. Today was my initial session and to be honest, I couldn’t have made a better choice. She is truly passionate about seeing the growth (change) in her clients. Thank you so much for all that you have done thus far
