“I wish I could stop overthinking.”

Constant worry, panic, tension, avoidance, and the pressure to stay in control can make it difficult to feel present.

AT A GLANCE

Hear What Others Have to Say

“Charmaine & I worked together for 3+ years in an environment that demanded focus & special skills. She naturally engaged well with patients; always validated their experiences and was consistently caring and supportive not only of the patients, but also of me as a fellow colleague”.

Tammy S., CTRS, Certified Therapeutic Recreation Specialist

“Caring, knowledgeable and a great listener is some of the few words I usually use to describe Charmaine to potential clients and friends. She’s never too busy to help a fellow peer and always going beyond the therapist realm of scope to help her clients”.
