I am Dr. Claude-Aline Charles and I am a Licensed Psychologist with over 20 years of counseling experience. I typically work with individuals with depression, anxiety and trauma, and often with adults encountering a series of life changes and transitions. I specialize in understanding cultural aspects and concepts of life, family, and community. My approach is client-centered and strength-based, meaning that you are met without judgment and provided with feedback and education regarding your unique needs. Therapy can be a space for healing and enlightenment where we embark on a rewarding, life-changing experience.

A need to further understand human being and to obtain further guidance to effectively navigate a world with such disparity in immoral consciousness of human beings that holds selfishness and lack of compassion.

The willingness to help others is not only a quality that highlights someones strength to make an impact but it also showcases the strength of those seeking help for change. I have spent the last 13 years of my career helping clients navigate various obatacles. While they sought professional advice to cope with challenges, they're the ones who left me inspired by their vulnerability and the desire for a better life.

Rize-Up Together was started by three women of The Bronx who realized that often times the services provided to low socio-economic communities is lacking quality care. We noticed these communities where confronted with long wait times, disrespectful admins, and subpar treatment. The one and only purpose was to exploit the community for profit without providing the level of care deserved. Rize-Up Together began from the inspiration to provide quality mental health care to the poorest of communities and treating the clients of this community the same way a rich patient would be treated in a clinic treating affluent clients.

Whether you need help adjusting to life changes, managing the symptoms of depression or anxiety, or are just interested in better understanding the roots of certain behaviors, starting therapy can be a difficult decision. As a therapist, I promise you a safe non-judgmental space to express your feelings and to engage in the process of self-discovery. We will work together to help you meet your goals and reach your potential, emotional clarity, increasing your awareness of your inner strengths and values.

I am an individual, couples and family therapist practicing in NYC for over 20 years. I supervise and teach family therapy at Ackerman Institute. My approach is collaborative, active, and empathic. I use a systemic approach that decreases blame and helps people move from overwhelming feelings of despair, anger, anxiety, and jealousy to the possibility of experiencing the love and compassion that they long for in their lives. I bring years of personal and professional experience to my practice.

I believe that the best therapy holds up a mirror to help us see what we could not on our own. These moments of understanding are the building blocks of change. My goal as a therapist is to help create an awareness of patterns that are holding you back and find ways of moving forward through a collaborative treatment plan.

I take a simple approach to therapy. My mission is to provide a safe and non judgmental space where we can explore and learn about those issues that may be keeping you from living your best life. I enjoy using a Gestalt model of interaction that says that however we show up in the present moment contains valuable information about the way we do our lives so we don't need to dwell on our past or harp on the way we think. This journey is all about the heart and the way we feel our way through life.

Psychological trauma and suffering can be overwhelming, often leaving us feeling drained, hopeless, lost, and alone.
