Sonya Charlton

My communication style

My style of therapy is very goal-oriented and supportive. I will help you focus on here-and-now issues in a space where you feel seen and heard. My goal as a therapist is to help you cope more effectively and improve the quality of your life.

My journey to mental healthcare

I began my journey 25 years ago, working with an amazing team of psychiatrists, psychologists, therapists, and nurses in a hospital setting. I have spent the last 20 years in private practice helping clients overcome a number of life struggles. I have personal experience and a lot of understanding/empathy for chronic pain.

My goals for you

Struggling with depression, anxiety, anger, and physical problems can be very scary. Together, we will identify cognitive, emotional, social, and environmental areas of your life causing stress. I will help you understand illnesses if newly diagnosed and provide new techniques/skills to use for the reduction in symptoms and long-term management.

Our first session

During our first session, we will discuss what brings you to therapy. We will identify the goals you want to accomplish and answer any questions you have. It's a time for me to understand your needs and develop a plan that feels right for you.

I identify as...

• Female
• Caucasian or White
