Charlie Mayer-Twomey (he/his)

I have supported many families in stressful situations to help work though conflict. I also support families who have children, youth or young adults who newly identify as a member of the LGBTQQI+ community.

I have supported many clients who are in various stages of exploring their own gender identity. I have supported clients through hormone replacement therapy and gender affirming therapies. I like to think of myself as a strong ally and I have written many letters in support of such therapies or surgeries.

I have extensive experience working with adolescents with depression, anxiety, mood, anger, trauma or grief. I also work with youth who self-harm or have challenges adjusting to a new family environment. I also specialize in working with adolescents within the LGBTQQI+ communities.

Some clients prefer to develop a goal-focused short-term therapy plan. Within this collaborative plan, we can identify a specific area of focus and concrete steps to achieve a specific goal. This type of therapy is very skill-based with exercises and evidenced-based techniques that have been proven to be effective.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is focused on exploring negative thought patterns, identifying unhelpful behaviors and understanding how they relate to the way you feel. This type of therapy can allow for the opportunity to focus on new successes, establish healthy patterns and learn new ways to cope with life's challenges.
