In their words
What our families & alumni are saying
“I'd recommend Charlie Health to anyone.”
Before Charlie Health I felt very alone with my thoughts and feelings. I didn't know that it was normal to have all of these emotions. I didn't know how to co-regulate myself or my emotions until I came to Charlie Health. Now, I'm able to learn strategies to improve my relationships with others and most importantly the relationship I had with myself. I'm thankful for my experience and everyone I've met. I'd recommend Charlie Health to anyone.
—Katelyn W.
“My primary therapist was amazing.”
My primary therapist was amazing. She thought outside of the box and was able to provide additional trauma therapies that my outside therapists had never thought of. Continuing to ensure therapists are at the cutting edge of therapy techniques is very helpful for clients.
—Charlie Health Alum
“An amazing experience.”
This was an amazing experience. The people are kind, the group facilitators are amazing, and the Individual therapists are good. Charlie Health made me more confident in who I am and I started the process of learning how to better communicate. These nine weeks were amazing, especially after being stuck in one place for about a year with minimal human interactions. If someone is considering this, it is more than worth it.
—Jaden Q.
