Charlie Perkins, MS, LSW (She/Her)

I am Charlie Perkins and I’m passionate about fostering genuine connections and creating a supportive space where healing can truly take root.

I believe that meaningful growth begins with authenticity, empathy, and shared understanding, and I strive to meet each client exactly where they are.

My path into this work has been both professional and deeply personal. I’ve always been drawn to understanding people — how we heal, connect, and grow through life’s challenges. My experiences have taught me that healing begins in safe, authentic spaces where we can be fully seen and accepted for who we are. As a member of the LGBTQ+ community, my own journey has included navigating experiences of prejudice, misunderstanding, and the ongoing pursuit of self-acceptance. These challenges have shaped not only my resilience but also my commitment to advocacy and creating spaces of belonging. I bring this awareness into my work — ensuring that each client, regardless of identity or background, feels valued, affirmed, and safe.

I bring both structure and flexibility to the therapeutic process, creating a safe space where clients feel heard, supported, and encouraged to explore at their own pace.

My goal is to balance empathy and insight — offering both understanding and gentle challenges that promote growth and self-awareness.

I value honesty, humor, and authenticity, and I aim to create a space where clients feel safe to show up fully as themselves.
