Hi, All. I’m Charles. Do you find that your family and friends don’t understand what you are going through? Do you feel like you are spinning your wheels and unable to complete your tasks at school or work? Or are you holding it together for everyone else but feel like anxiety is making you unravel? Perhaps you feel like you are down and disinterested in what you used to do. I know that it is hard to pull it together by ourselves sometimes.
I prescribed medications to help people manage anxiety, depression, and ADHD to rebalance and become a new you. I address the needs of your mind by combining mindfulness with medicine. I am your ally. Treatment consists of medication, discussions, proper sleep, diet, and lifestyle changes. With these changes, together, we can accomplish amazing things.
When a person seeks treatment and discusses the areas of concern, we can formulate a treatment as a guide to better health. Clients should expect to participate in the holistic healing process by not being rushed, not being talked to, but by being included in the treatment.
