LPC, 3 years of experience
New to Grow
Hello, my name is Geovanni Charles and I am a Licensed Practical Counselor in the state of PA. Originally from New York with a Caribbean background, I saw many instances growing up where mental health was at play, without many people aware of the extent it influenced everyone. My vision is one where mental health can be appreciated and provided to all, because we all have a right to be given help, especially when it comes to health. My mission is to help bridge that gap and provide mental health access to everyone, regardless of their class or status.
I am a firm believer in establishing a sense of safety, security and comfort. I plan on getting to know more about your background general sense of history/up binging, in a more conversational tone instead of interviewing.
I offer a variety of therapeutic approaches tailored to individual needs, including cognitive-behavioral therapy, attachment and personality based theories, mindfulness techniques, and solution-focused therapy. My goal is to help you find the best fit for your unique situation.
I have many years experience working with adolescents/teens and adults, mostly within the realm of anxiety, depression and attachment issues. I have many years of working with those within the school system, those who have struggled with drug use and those who have struggled with gaining access to appropriate resources, all of which I can help with.
I am huge on the belief that the way we interpret, think and what we believe greatly shapes the way we feel and act. I have used CBT techniques for many years through different roles (school settings, hospital settings and crisis work) and education and have found that it has done wonders.
I have over two years experience working with individuals with relationship issues as well as self esteem issues and found that attachment can be linked to many things.
