I think I really opened up for the first time with Charlene. I've been to multiple therapists over my life and I've never really been able to fully express myself, maybe because of my own misgivings. However, when I talk to Charlene, it just comes pouring out, talking about myself just comes naturally. Its like talking to friend who's always been there. If my house of cards ever gets knocked down, she helps me rebuild and get back on the right path.

Authentic and straightforward is what initially come to mind about Charlene Mahan. She is also warm and spiritually uplifting and has cultural awareness.
