I speak Creole / Haitian / Mwen pale kreyòl
Hi, I’m Alex Charles. I believe therapy starts with creating a space where you feel heard, respected, and comfortable being yourself. My goal is to meet you where you are and work alongside you to understand what you’re experiencing, identify what matters to you, and find practical ways forward.
My clinical experience includes supporting adults across different stages of life who are navigating mental health concerns, substance use, life transitions, and other challenges that can impact their well-being. I use a person-in-environment perspective, taking into account the experiences, relationships, strengths, and circumstances that shape each person’s life.
I believe there is no one-size-fits-all approach to therapy. I adapt my work to your needs and pace, drawing from trauma-informed care, motivational interviewing, CBT- and DBT-informed approaches, harm reduction, and strengths-based practice. I am also bilingual in English and Haitian Creole, and I value creating care that is accessible, respectful, and responsive to each client’s background and needs.
Whether you're working through a difficult transition, trying to understand yourself better, or looking for healthier ways to cope, my hope is that we can build a therapeutic relationship where you feel supported, empowered, and able to move toward the life you want.
