Hey y'all! When we arrive at therapy, it is often because things in our lives or the lives of loved ones aren't going as we hoped, and it is a joy and privilege to come alongside those courageous enough to ask for help. If we have the opportunity to work together, my hope is that you experience the power of healing in a safe and supportive environment and leave our time together with a renewed sense of peace, joy, and hope. You are a key part of the therapy process, and I promise to work just as hard as I'll ask you to. If you're ready to commit to this process, I am confident we'll find what is effective for you and your family.

Hi, there! I am Charity Gordon, a licensed professional counselor. I love to form a unique relationship with each of my clients, centered around their unique needs and strengths. I focus on teens, adults, seniors - individuals and couples counseling. We seek counseling because we have been in pain – usually for a while. After trying to ignore or numb the pain, some of us may say to ourselves, “This is not working. I need help,” which are both brave and scary statements to make. My desire is to provide a safe place for people to explore their pain and find their own unique strengths and solutions for healing.

Navigating intense and unpleasant emotions can be challenging, holding us back from what really matters. These emotions may lead us to avoid situations or activities that hold significance, while simultaneously diminishing our motivation, leaving us feeling stuck. My mission is to help in these moments, working with patients to develop effective emotional and behavioral skills, identify valued directions, and take steps toward a meaningful life. I prioritize a collaborative and active therapeutic process in which we work together to develop treatment goals and clear, definable expectations to reduce suffering and promote wellness.

Olive Branch, MS 38654 (Online Only)
I enjoy working with individuals from all backgrounds. I always learn more about others as well as myself from each client I meet which I value as an amazing opportunity. I've never met a client who didn't cause change and personal growth in myself after meeting them. I have experience working with LGBT+ persons, college-aged students, substance abuse/addiction clients, and individuals with co-occurring mental health disorders, such as anxiety and depression. I use a Person-Centered approach alongside mindfulness/meditation and cognitive-behavioral techniques to facilitate personal growth and healing.

I'm so glad that you are considering reaching out for help! I believe that the therapeutic relationship has the power to be one of the most transformative in our lives. I find that disconnection from ourselves and others, as well as deviating from what brings us meaning, leads to pain. It is important to me that, together, we utilize your strengths in uncovering a path to a deeper sense of "connectedness" and more authentic living. I offer support, and I do a lot of listening. I also value to concept of neurodivergence, and how addressing these factors, if applicable, can greatly improve therapeutic outcomes.

Not accepting new clients
Life is not always smooth sailing & it is my goal to help those struggling to successfully navigate through the challenges life has presented. For true healing & growth, I believe all areas of the self need to be healthy. I don't adhere to one treatment modality, but rather work with individuals to address their specific needs. I strive to provide validation to feelings while working towards a solution. My role is to provide support & guidance, enabling you to process through thoughts & feelings while moving towards the peace you're seeking.

Humanistic Therapists
How does humanistic therapy work?
One tenet of humanistic therapy is that people are good. The humanistic approach is concerned with a person’s ability to accept oneself. It likewise encourages a person to overcome self-criticism and self-defeating tendencies, as well as disapproval from others. This approach also emphasizes self-actualization and treating an individual as a whole person. A foundation of this therapy type: The patient is the expert in their life, and treatment often takes the individual’s lead.
Is humanistic therapy evidence-based?
Humanistic therapy is an evidence-based practice. Research has found that humanistic therapy can lead to significant improvement, and for some people it can be just as effective as other therapies, such as Cognitive behavioral therapy. The benefits of humanistic therapy are enduring.
How long does humanistic therapy last?
The goal of humanistic therapy is to understand a person’s day-to-day experiences. While sessions can be short-term and last over a few months, therapy can sometimes continue beyond that and last up to a year or more. And because patients learn the theory behind humanistic therapy during treatment, they can also practice its tenets throughout life after therapy sessions have been completed.
Is humanistic therapy effective?
According to research, many patients find success with humanistic therapy. Researchers note that the therapy is particularly useful in addressing poor self-esteem and self-sabotage, as well as improving conditions including anxiety and depression. Improvements in problem areas can be long standing, as individuals can continue working on themselves by using the tools they’ve learned during treatment.
