Hi, I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who believes therapy should feel safe, welcoming, and supportive. My style is soft, caring, and down-to-earth, but I am also honest and direct when needed. I will gently challenge you to consider new perspectives while making sure you feel heard and respected. Together, we will work at a pace that is meaningful and progressive for you.
I am a seasoned psychotherapist and psychiatric provider with nearly two decades of experience in the behavioral health field. After earning a Master of Arts in Psychology and a Master of Science in Social Work from the University of Louisville in 2006, I became licensed by the Kentucky Board of Social Work. I also hold national certification in case management (CCMC), am a licensed supervisory-level addictions specialist (CADAC-IV) through the International Certification and Reciprocity Consortium, and a licensed marriage and family therapist through the American Association for Marriage and Family Therapy (AAMFT).
My academic journey continued with a Doctorate in Behavioral Health from Arizona State University, specializing in integrated medical and behavioral health services, followed by a Post-Doctorate Master of Science in Clinical Psychopharmacology from Fairleigh Dickinson University. I further expanded my scope of practice through a Master’s Entry in Professional Nursing (BSN & MSN) from the University of Louisville in 2020, a Post-Master’s Certificate in Psychiatric Mental Health Nursing from Northern Kentucky University in 2021, and a Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) from Duke University. I am board certified as a Psychiatric Nurse Practitioner, licensed to prescribe and manage medications.
In addition to clinical practice, I have led multidisciplinary teams and supervised clinical operations, enhancing quality of care, staff development, and patient outcomes across diverse systems. I am deeply committed to lifelong learning and delivering compassionate, evidence-based, integrative care to individuals and families in both Kentucky and Indiana.
I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with over 10 years of experience supporting individuals through life’s challenges, transitions, and moments that can feel overwhelming or uncertain. I work with clients who may be navigating anxiety, stress, major life changes, or simply feeling stuck and unsure of their next step.
My goal is to create a space where you feel genuinely heard, respected, and understood. Whether you're processing something specific or just know that things don’t feel quite right, we’ll work together to make sense of what you’re experiencing and move toward meaningful change.
I have been in the field of clinical social work for nearly 30 years in a variety of settings from community outpatient, inpatient/residential and working with military families and Veterans. I have worked with a wide age range from early childhood through older adult.
I’m Charity, an LCSW with 12 years of experience helping people navigate life’s harder chapters. Whether you're managing the weight of anxiety and depression, processing trauma, or adjusting to the unique challenges. I’m here to support you. My background across military and medical settings has taught me that everyone’s journey is different. I’m committed to providing a compassionate, culturally responsive space where you can feel truly understood as you grow.
I provide a compassionate space for individuals navigating depression, anxiety, major life transitions, and the heavy weight of everyday trials or crises. I believe that while life can feel overwhelming, you don't have to face it alone or without a map. Together, we will focus on practical, solution-oriented strategies that help you move through life's storms and build a more content, peaceful, and meaningful future.
I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Kentucky with over 7 years of experience helping people navigate life when it feels messy, overwhelming, or just plain stuck. I earned my Master’s in Social Work and have spent my career walking alongside individuals as they find hope, healing, and a way forward through some of life’s toughest seasons.
I work with adults facing stress, anxiety, grief and loss, sleep struggles, and challenges with motivation, self-esteem, and confidence. I also have a strong background in supporting people in early recovery from substance use helping them build coping skills, stay grounded, and create real, sustainable change (not just quick fixes).
Outside of session, I practice what I preach: I focus on my own growth, stay active, and try to keep life in perspective which means I get the ups and downs that come with being human. I know starting therapy can feel intimidating, and I genuinely respect the courage it takes to show up. If you’re ready to do the work, I’m here to walk with you, challenge you when needed, and cheer you on as you build the life you deserve.
I consider myself the Dolly Parton of mental wellness: all humans are welcome, being clear is kind, and, like Dolly, sometimes we all need a little help navigating life from 9-to-5. I provide therapy in Ohio and Kentucky, and I also offer holistic wellness coaching and integrative psychedelic support to help you explore growth from multiple angles. In our sessions, I tailor the process to fit you—addressing experiences, patterns, or distortions that might leave your cup of ambition dry. With a transparent, solution-focused approach, we’ll work together to create meaningful, lasting change that goes beyond our 50 minutes.
As a therapist and coach I work with diverse clients, including those navigating queer identities and alternative healing methods. My approach is straightforward and infused with a touch of humor, creating a space where authenticity and meaningful progress are the goals.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Postpartum Therapist in Louisville
Searching for postpartum therapists in Louisville starts with finding someone whose training fits the kind of support you want. Postpartum concerns can include postpartum depression, postpartum anxiety, birth-related stress, identity shifts, and relationship strain. Some therapists focus on perinatal mental health, and a PMH-C credential can signal specialized training in care during pregnancy and the postpartum period. As you compare therapists, look for listed specialties, relevant experience, and approaches that match your needs.
Louisville offers a range of postpartum counseling options, but practical details can shape which therapist is a usable fit. New parents may need flexible appointment times, virtual sessions, or a therapist who can account for infant care, physical recovery, and changing schedules. Virtual care can make it easier to meet with a postpartum depression specialist when getting to an office is harder. Before booking, read therapist bios to see how they describe their work with postpartum concerns, what session structure may look like, and whether they offer a free phone consultation.
Postpartum therapy in Louisville can be expensive without insurance, and using in-network coverage is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you find therapists who are accepting new patients and lets you check insurance coverage and estimated out-of-pocket costs before you book. You can compare postpartum therapists in Louisville by specialty, availability, appointment format, and insurance fit, then book directly when you’re ready.
