Charlene Hogue, LISW

My clients describe me as:

Warm, validating, trustworthy, nonjudgmental, present, engaged, dedicated, good communicator, collaborative, and focused on the goals of the client.

Something to know about my approach is:

I provide a safe emotional space to help clients identify problem areas, develop treatment goals using several evidence based interventions, such as CBT, interpersonal therapy, grief work, and trauma work to modify learned unhelpful responses.

Together, we will:

Focus on emotional and behavioral issues in response to sexual and physical trauma, grief from various losses, maternal mental health challenges such as postpartum depression, miscarriage and infertility, and problems in their partner relationships.

I specialize in working with people who:

Have feelings of guilt/ shame who think something is wrong with them or they are the problem. They develop “pleasing” behaviors to maintain harmony in relationships. They struggle with self image and turn on themselves through blame and anger.

I became a therapist because:

I am curious about communication patterns that individuals develop. I look for deeper meaning and to connect past experiences with present behaviors.

Something that stands out about where I offer therapy is:

I offer telehealth sessions for those clients who prefer to meet while in the comfort of their own space.

More about me and my practice:

My professional vision is to focus on women’s issues to assist them in strengthening their internal emotional platforms as the path to self-empowerment through increased self awareness, self compassion, and self acceptance.
