Hi All. I’m Charles. Do you find that your family and friends don’t understand what you are going through? Do you feel like you are spinning your wheels and unable to complete your tasks at school or work? Or are you holding it together for everyone else but feel like anxiety is making you unravel. Perhaps you feel like you are down and disinterested in what you used to do? I know that it is hard to pull it together by ourselves sometimes. I prescribed medications to help people manage anxiety, depression, and ADHD to rebalance and become a new you. I address the needs of your mind by combining mindfulness with medicine. Although I don't prescribe BENZODIAZEPINES for anxiety, I am your ally in formulating the specialized treatment.

I devoted myself to lifelong learning so I could provide the best mental health and life-enriching tools that can last a lifestyle.

Sorry to hear Charles is leaving Grow, probably the best mental health provider I've ever worked with.

Charles is very thoughtful and personable. He makes suggestions in a nice way and gives me things to think about that I would not necessarily have thought about on my own.

Charles was a great help during my time in Pennsylvania! I'm sad to say goodbye now that I'm moving away!
