Charles is so resourceful! I appreciate that he sends worksheets and tools at a rate that is slow paced and not overwhelming. The Regain platform is also very user friendly! Many thanks

Charles has been an amazing couples therapist. My husband and I both enjoy talking with him and felt comfortable with him from our first session. The advice he has given us has helped our communication grow so much in just a few weeks. Charles has been able to get us to really think about our relationship, where it is, where it's been, and where we would like it to be. He has given us techniques to work through the things we didn't know how to on our own. We have not had any problems meeting with Charles via video calls and the availability he has for sessions have worked out very well for our schedules. I would hands down recommend Charles to anyone looking for a therapist.
