I am Charles Zaglin a Trauma, Complex Trauma, and PTSD LPC with 20+ years of experience as a Traumatologist and over 55 years as a PTSD/Trauma survivor. My style is empathic, eclectic, honest, humorous, and interactive. Together we will tailor a protocol to fit your needs. I believe in ACKNOWLEDGEMENT and ACCEPTANCE. With regards to PTSD and Trauma, I take on a four "C" approach. That being "Control, Courage, and Compassion, and Choice." We will acknowledge your trauma without judgement, guilt, shame, fear, or self-blame and accept what happened but not let it identify or define you.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

In our first session together, we will begin to get to know each other, the issues that you are facing and the best modality to use to bring about the healing process. Building of trust between myself and the client is so important as a predictor for an ongoing positive relationship. Also, if it is determined to be helpful in the healing process I give Homework Assignments. "YAY!"

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.

I most enjoy working with clients who are dealing with areas of Trauma, Complex Trauma and PTSD Survivors. Also those individuals not suffering from PTSD but who are battling symptoms from depression, anxiety, night terrors while sleeping, alcohol and drug dependence, as well as relationship issues as it pertains to loved ones and friends. This may include alcohol and drug use, communication issues within a family or friend relationship. Work related issues, infidelity issues in romantic relationships, divorce issues, parenting concerns, financial issues as they apply to the individual and or mutiple person obligations. Grief and loss issues concerning the loss of family, friends, and fur-children alike. I expect a lot out of myself and thus I expect a great deal out of the comprehensive thoughts and actions of my clients. Thought without action are simply ideas which stay in our mind. We must take our valuable insight, disclosure and realization and place these realizations into actions. To help us help ourselves. To ask for help when needed but just as important is to be willing to help ourselves. Change comes from within aided by those around us if possible. However, change can happen even if we are alone as long as the desire is there.
