Charlie Barrett, LCSW

(THEY/THEM/THEIRS)

Direct line for existing clients: 203-441-1521

Another Sunday. Where did Saturday go? Where do Friday nights go? Where have the past few months gone? What am I even doing anymore? I feel alone. I feel anxious and scared. I look at the world around me and it causes me frustration and fear. Sometimes I feel frozen and I don't know what I can control in my life and what I can't. I want to find more connection to myself and others but I feel stuck. I think I have worth but it feels out of reach. Why don't I know what I am doing with myself or my life? I make so many promises to myself, but I do nothing. I do nothing. I just don't know where to start and I hate it. This just isn't working for me anymore and I'm scared I won't be able to get it together. I think I need someone to talk to.

First and foremost, I see you. I see all the effort you’ve made so far, and I hear your frustration. It can be really hard to reach out for therapy, and I’m so glad you’re considering it. 

 I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with experience working with young adults, adults, and elders on the issues that matter. The relationship we build in therapy is very important to me. I create a space for you to be truly yourself, and I strive to understand you, and welcome you to correct me, stop me, and even call me out if I’m missing something. This is truly your time and space. I truly enjoy working with adults from every gender, orientation, and identity! 

My Approach: 

I consider myself person-centered. I’m inquisitive and love to learn and listen. My goal is to provide a non-judgmental and safe environment for you to explore what’s on your mind and create change. I believe in a strengths-based approach so I listen for your strengths and where you can be further empowered. I enjoy taking a holistic view to therapy where we can feel free to discuss how your mind interacts with your body and how your body affects your mind. I enjoy hearing about any spiritual or cultural beliefs and experiences that are important to you and talking about ways you can use these beliefs and experiences to help you heal. I look at the work we do together as being flowing and not rigid and I strive to meet you exactly where you are. Together we can explore how you can make the changes you’re longing for. You are important and I'm glad you're here.
