More about me

Licensing: MA, LPC, CCMHC Years in Practice: 10 State: Colorado

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Texas with ten years experience in counseling. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns but my specialties include parenting difficulties, childhood trauma, abuse, Autism, social difficulties, mood disorders, grief, ADHD, anxiety and depression.

My counseling approach is person-centered and I strive to create an environment in which you feel safe to share your story. I have training and experience in Client-Centered Therapy, Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing (EMDR), Solution-Focused Therapy, Motivational interviewing and Animal Assisted Therapy in Counseling (AAT-C). I am also currently completing training as a Certified Advanced Grief Counseling Specialist and Certified Autism Spectrum Disorder Clinical Specialist. I look forward to meeting with you and working together to find which therapy modality works best for you.

I have always believed that everyone can benefit from counseling and I believe that is even more true as we have all been touched by the difficulties and challenges of the last few years related to pandemic stress, isolation and loss. At this time, I have appointments available on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays and I do my best to get your first appointment scheduled the same week you reach out to me to schedule. I have some flexibility if the hours listed on my calendar do not fit into your schedule. Just ask!

About online counseling

Online counseling allows you to receive care from an online mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Been with Charesa for over a year now, and she's always been a lovely therapist. She's a great listener, dedicated to her work, and is wonderful at helping me process and understand my life's obstacles. Highly recommend finding a therapist that supports your best interest and is as passionate about their work as Charesa is! :)

Jan 03, 2024

Overall

It has really helped me to talk with someone that isn’t a colleague or family member. She helps me to see outside perspectives and relates to my busy schedules and concerns that I’m really going through hard times, otherwise I would think it’s just me and I’m all alone in my thinking

Overall

Charesa is amazing! I am healing from significant psychological abuse within my marriage. Although my husband and I have been separated for 3 years due to his porn addiction, I hadn’t been able to get much traction due to severe PTSD symptoms. Charesa and I have been using EMDR for the last 2 months and I am starting to feel as if I can take small steps to move forward. As someone who may be on the autism spectrum, she has been very flexible in our sessions instead of rushing me through the processing. I feel beyond blessed to have found someone who truly gets trauma and I would recommend highly to others who are dealing with intimate partner betrayal trauma!

From the first meeting with her, I've felt like Charesa is such a safe person who has my best interests at heart and who really hears and understands me. She is kind and understanding and thinks about me outside of our designated hour a week- she not only helps me set down my burdens, but she refills my tank with kindness and thoughtfulness. Seeing her is the best decision I've made for my mental health all year!
