Charlotte Chrisp
I strongly align with the belief that therapy is not “one size fits all.” I view each client as experts of their own life, who bring unique strengths, challenges, and we will explore your reasons for seeking therapy. Together, we will build upon your strengths, empower your growth, and enhance your ability to navigate life’s challenges confidently identifying your needs, and create a personalized treatment plan with clear goals and measurable steps towards meeting client goals. That plan will be our roadmap — step by step — toward a healthier, more confident you. My professional training includes a Master of Social Work (MSW); as well as Bachelor of Social Work (BSW), and a Bachelor of Science in Psychology. These combined disciplines help me understand people deeply—how they think, how they feel, and how they heal. I bring that knowledge into every session to support your growth and well-being with compassionate, effective, and individualized care.
First session
Your first session is a meet-and-greet and getting-to-know-you appointment. It’s an opportunity for you to get to know me, learn about how I work, and for me to get to know you, your story, and what brought you to therapy. We’ll begin with a Comprehensive Diagnostic Assessment to better understand what you are experiencing, what you need, and how I can best support you. During the assessment, we will: • Talk about what brought you to therapy • Discuss your current concerns and goals • Review relevant personal, family, social, and mental health history • Identify your strengths, needs, and areas of support • Discuss your treatment options and next steps • Begin creating a personalized treatment plan based on your needs and goals The assessment is not about judging you or putting you in a box. It helps me understand the whole person—not just the problem—so therapy can be meaningful and appropriate for you. There is no pressure to share everything at once. You can talk at your own pace and ask questions throughout the process. My goal is for you to leave your first session feeling heard, supported, and hopeful, with a clearer understanding of how we can work together toward greater confidence, peace, and growth.
Strengths
I am very energetic my goal is to create a safe, nurturing, non-judgmental, supportive environment where you can learn, explore, heal, grown and become empowered at your own pace.
Ideal clients
My ideal client is someone who is ready for support, open to growth, and willing to take steps toward positive change. They may be going through a difficult season in life, feeling overwhelmed, stuck, anxious, disconnected, or unsure about what comes next. The client does not have to have everything figured out. They simply need to be willing to take that first step. Together, we can build on their strengths, develop practical tools, and create a path toward greater confidence, peace, purpose, and a more fulfilling life. They may be struggling with relationships, family concerns, life changes, stress, self-confidence, grief, or finding their sense of purpose. They may know they want something different but are not sure where to begin.
Origin story
What inspired me to social work is my desire to help people feel heard, understood, and supported during some of the most difficult times in their lives. I believe that everyone has strengths, even when they may not see them because of what they are going through. As a social worker, I emphasize empowerment, accountability, and growth. I work with clients to understand where they are, where they want to go, and what steps can help them get there. Together, we create a structured roadmap that builds on their strengths and helps them face life's challenges with greater confidence and clarity. I believe mental health is not a barrier to life—it is a foundation for living a balanced and fulfilling life. Through education, evidence base therapeutic support, I help clients build resilience, improve relationships, work through challenges, and reconnect with their sense of purpose, peace, and hope. For me, being a social worker is about walking alongside people as they discover that they are capable of healing, growing, and creating a life that has meaning to them.
Ongoing work together
Ongoing sessions are a safe and supportive space to check in, work through challenges, and build new skills. Each session is different and based on what you need at that time. During sessions, we may: • Talk about how you have been feeling and what has changed • Explore challenges, successes, and things you have noticed about yourself • Use evidence-based therapy tools and assessments to support your progress • Set small, realistic goals and sometimes use homework or activities between sessions • Talk about what is working and what is not working so we can adjust your treatment when needed • Celebrate your progress, strengths, and positive changes, including the small ones Progress does not always happen in a straight line. Healing is a process of moving forward, learning, growing, and sometimes taking a step back before moving forward again. Most importantly, your voice matters. I want to know how you feel about your progress, what changes you are noticing, and what you believe is helping you. Together, we will regularly review your goals and make sure therapy continues to meet your needs. Every step forward is worth celebrating.
Treatment methods
Solution-Focused Brief Treatment
I use different approaches depending on the client's needs, goals, personality, and circumstances. I may combine several methods during treatment. My overall goal is to help clients understand themselves, manage difficult emotions, develop healthy coping skills, improve relationships, solve problems, and make meaningful changes in their lives. Just a few examples: Solution-Focused Therapy Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) Person-Centered Therapy Emotion-Focused Therapy Grief Therapy Trauma-Informed Therapy Mindfulness and Stress-Management Techniques Psychoeducation Motivational Interviewing
