Hi! My name is Charnelle Cook and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Virginia with six years of experience in the private practice setting. I attended Virginia Commonwealth University for undergrad and I earned my Masters of Arts in Counseling from George Washington University in 2016. I believe that autonomy is important for clients when in therapy and take a person-centered approach, allowing my clients to lead their sessions with me. I believe that therapy is powerful and I love to help people work through their life challenges. Choosing to seek counseling services is a big decision to make, and I applaud you for making the first step in becoming the best version of yourself!

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

In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions where we are able to learn a little about each other. We will then dive into the specific challenges you're facing that led to you seeking counseling services. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.

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

I have a great deal of experience working with young adult/mid 20s populations. I consider myself a relatable and culturally competent therapist.
