In our fast paced world, it is easy to feel disconnected, like nobody cares, understands or has the time to listen. As a trained counselor I am here for you, to listen and help you achieve your goals.

Life is hard. I believe counseling starts when relationships, stresses or internal struggles become more than you can handle. If you're feeling overwhelmed, depressed, angry or not quite like yourself, I will offer you a non-judgmental space to begin to gain awareness of your wants/needs and support for your journey of change.

In the process of surviving and caring for others, it is easy to lose the sound of your own voice. You might find yourself trapped in patterns of codependency. Feeling responsible for everyone’s well-being while your own needs go unmet. Whether you are navigating the lingering effects of trauma or feeling stuck in cycles that leave you overwhelmed and disconnected, you may feel like you’ve become a stranger to yourself. I work with individuals and couples who are tired of "performing" and ready to trade the exhaustion of pleasing others for the courage of being themselves.

Hello, my name is Geovanni Charles and I am a Licensed Practical Counselor in the state of PA. Originally from New York with a Caribbean background, I saw many instances growing up where mental health was at play, without many people aware of the extent it influenced everyone. My vision is one where mental health can be appreciated and provided to all, because we all have a right to be given help, especially when it comes to health. My mission is to help bridge that gap and provide mental health access to everyone, regardless of their class or status.

I truly care about what you are experiencing. Having the right support is the key to being able to overcome areas that are keeping you stuck. You have managed to cope and survive this long, but perhaps it feels like you don't have all of the tools or insights to find true relief from symptoms or difficulties you are experiencing. You are constantly weighed down by anxiety, holding yourself to high standards with little time for restoration, or haunted by the lingering effects of trauma. Perhaps you have tried therapy before and wonder how to really get the most of it.

Life is like a merry-go-round. It’s supposed to be amusing: bright and shiny, happy music, filled with others, and rotating to see the world around you. However, if caught off guard, you could start to feel nauseous and stuck. Suddenly, the lights are too bright, music is too loud, people are overwhelming, things appear out of focus, and you want to get off. I work with clients to find a sense of balance. My belief is that with a safe and supportive space we can determine unique individual needs by exploring past experiences, current roadblocks or behaviors, and begin outlining healthy ways to create change.

Three beliefs I hold that influence how I practice are 1) human beings are not problems to be solved 2) therapy is ultimately about relationship 3) the process itself is the solution. We humans are infinitely complex; we're full of opposition and paradox. Our culture pushes quick fixes and immediate answers, but lasting change rarely comes about when we work in this way. I'm interested in helping you come into fuller, richer, more conscious relationship with all of your moving and sometimes disparate parts. Together we will work from the inside out through a deep, relational process.

My goal is to support people in building skills based off their interests and strengths as well as providing education to facilitate new tools for growth.

Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC
Cranberry Township, PA 16066
Accepting NEW clients! Many people have had negative experiences with counseling, making them hesitant to seek help again. We are especially skilled at working with those who are uncomfortable with the idea of therapy. Clients have described us as “Therapists for people who don’t like therapy”. We try to understand people on an individual level & adapt our skills to meet their needs. Our goal is to provide a safe, comfortable, & nonjudgmental atmosphere. Therapy should not just be "learning coping skills" to deal with negative feelings, it should involve working to root of the problem to facilitate long-lasting change.

FAQ - Teenage and Adolescent Therapists
What does therapy for teenagers look like?
When a therapist works with a teenager, the pair will talk about what the teen is struggling with and explore solutions, which may involve interpersonal skills, coping strategies, medication, or lifestyle changes related to sleep, diet, and exercise. Different therapists employ different modalities, but most involve a combination of conversation and skill building.
How long does therapy for teenagers generally take to work?
There’s variability in teenagers’ experiences and challenges; some may begin to improve from therapy within a few weeks while others may take several months or longer. Teens can discuss their progress with their therapist periodically to assess how they’re improving and any changes to the treatment plan that could potentially accelerate that progress.
How do you encourage a teenager to go to therapy?
It’s helpful to express your concern and love while framing therapy as an opportunity to explore a tool that could help improve their life; just like they practice baseball or dance, now they can practice their emotional skills. Give your teen control over the process where you can—maybe by weighing in on choice of therapist and signaling that therapy involves confidentiality, so a parent need not know all that is discussed in sessions.
How do you prepare teens for therapy?
You can prepare your teenager for therapy by describing what the process will look like and setting expectations for timeline, if requested. You can explain that the first session may begin with an assessment phase, that they can describe their experiences but that the therapist will ask questions too, and that it may take time to feel comfortable opening up. Ask how they’re feeling about the process and answer any questions calmly and supportively.
