Jennifer Charles, LMFT — Therapist in Michigan

Hi there, I'm Jennifer!

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with over a decade of experience helping individuals and couples strengthen communication, deepen connection, and navigate life’s emotional challenges with clarity.

My focus

I work with individuals, couples, and families navigating depression, trauma, anxiety, role transitions, and caregiver stress. Whether you're a couple dealing with infidelity or relational distress, or an individual seeking support, I'm honored to be part of your journey.

My approach

My approach is collaborative. I blend cognitive behavioral therapy, cognitive processing therapy, and acceptance and commitment therapy based on your needs. With feedback from you, I'll create a treatment plan that suits your individual situation and helps you move toward meaningful change.

My communication style

I provide a safe, nonjudgmental space with clear, open communication. I practice active listening and work daily to ensure you feel heard and prioritized. My goal is to create an environment where you can explore openly and feel supported throughout our work together.

My journey to mental healthcare

I love to discuss how I became a clinician. My initial major in college was Biology. I took my first undergraduate psychology course and fell in love with the human mind and how it functions. It has been a joy for me throughout my career to be a part of others' journeys and processes of change.

My goals for you

Therapy is a collaborative process. Once we start this journey, I will work with my clients to develop goals that are relevant to them. I conceptualize this as a journey and the goals being our destination. My job as your provider is to help you clarify and set goals.

Our first session

Our first session is a get-to-know-each other session. In this session, we might both be nervous. I like to create an environment where my clients can ask questions about my approach, experience, and expectations.
