Marriage Counseling Therapists in Arlington, MA

I've been a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC), and a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) for almost twenty years. I work with individuals, couples, and families out of the basement office of my home in Arlington, MA. My most basic therapeutic approach is that everyone is born good and whole. But, life happens and it sends us difficulties that we can’t always understand or handle. These difficulties can happen as children, adolescents, adults, in school, home, work, and in our marriages. Sometimes these problematic life experiences can affect our core beliefs negatively and/or overwhelm our abilities to cope.

*NOW ACCEPTING ONLINE CLIENTS IN DAYTIME HOURS* Are you unhappy w/ your relationship? Are you engaged married or in a committed relationship?

I am a marriage and family therapist who works with individuals, couples and families from a narrative perspective.  I believe clients have rich stories to tell about who they are and wish to be, what values they hold, and how to move through their lives in preferred ways. However, sometimes problems get in their way. I believe clients are the experts of their lives and I see people as separate from these problems. I practice from a collaborative, strength-based perspective which is client-centered.

I enjoy working with couples, the LGBTQIA+ community, women, people of color, children, families, those of various cultural backgrounds, those with anxiety and depression, and those navigating life stressors or geographic moves. I like working with clients who are ready to work authentically on stated goals.

Are you struggling with stress, anxiety, anger, or frustration and your relationships suffer for it? Are you contemplating divorce or separation and worry about the potential impact on your children? Is your child struggling emotionally, behaviorally, or even socially, and you are wondering what you can do to help? Adults who take care of their own mental health see improvements in their relationships with their children, partners, and even ex-partners.

I understand the importance of developing resilience-to-change in order to effectively cope with major life transitions including losses and endings (divorce, retirement, serious medical illness) as well as beginnings (new relationships, marriage, birth of a child, starting a career). Without such resilience, life can feel overwhelming, self esteem becomes precarious, and mood can dip dramatically. As a licensed clinical psychologist, with more than 30 years experience, my clients value my warm, collaborative approach to relationship issues, executive stress, mid-life issues, inter-generational conflicts, and self-defeating behaviors that keep people stuck.

At M.A.Jean-Charles Psychotherapy & Consulting, LLC, healing, learning, and growing is our mantra and shapes our therapeutic philosophy. We believe that to heal psychically and to grow into the best version of ourselves, and one must engage in learning. At times, life creates too much noise; one can lose sight and footing on their place in this world. Learning provides a pathway to engage in healing from that which binds the spirit. As a result of this, one is capable of tremendous emotional growth and, ultimately, living a fulfilling life. My speciality population is Women of Color.

For the past 10+ years I have been in private practice serving kids, adolescents, and adults. I provide neuropsychological and psychodiagnostic assessment and consultation as well as individual and group therapy using a strengths-based approach. Much of my practice focuses on helping Middle School and High School students who are struggling with learning, social, and emotional adjustment through collaboratively identifying the obstacles and challenges they may be facing and helping them to recognize and embrace their qualities and strengths.
