I have been doing this work since 2009 — which means I have sat with a lot of people through a lot of different kinds of hard. I hold a Master's degree in Counseling with a dual focus in professional counseling and marriage and family therapy, and my career has moved through two distinct chapters that have shaped how I practice. The first half was spent in the world of substance use — working with individuals and families where the stakes were high and the complexity was real. The last several years have been in private practice, where I've worked with the full range of human struggle: depression, anxiety, ADHD, PTSD, substance use disorders, parenting stress, and the disorienting moments when life shifts beneath your feet. I work with individuals, couples, and groups. Very few things surprise me at this point — and that's exactly what makes this work feel safe.
Welcome! I’m a compassionate Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner (APRN, PMHNP-BC) with over 20 years of nursing experience and a Master’s degree in Psychiatric Mental Health Nursing, currently pursuing my Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP). I provide warm, supportive telehealth care for individuals of all ages, offering thoughtful, personalized treatment to meet your unique mental health needs.
Hi! I am Chardae Korhonen (She/Her) a licensed clinical social worker and relational therapist.
If you are reading this, I can imagine something in your life isn’t feeling quite right. Maybe you feel stuck or feel disconnected from yourself and the life you want to be living. Maybe you’re navigating hormonal changes—whether that’s PMS/PMDD, perimenopause, or menopause—working through the impact of trauma, navigating relationship challenges or simply exhausted from feeling like you’re constantly surviving instead of actually living.
I am a neurodivergent practitioner working to provide Neurodiversity Affirming Therapy. I strive to create a space where my clients can drop the mask that they wear in the world and show up as their authentic selves. I am social justice oriented, and am passionate about racial, LGBTQIA+, and disability rights.
I've been working in this field over 11 years. I received my masters degree in 2013 and have obtained multiple trainings and certifications since then to best help the clients I work with.
I have experience working in Community Mental Health and private practice along with working for the military.
I really enjoy helping the LGBTQIA+ community, working with other therapists, helping those with chronic issues including health, pain and life stressors. I love helping people live their best lives.
Life can be challenging, and in those moments we may lose touch with our true selves. Reaching out for support takes courage and is an important first step. With over 18 years of experience, my approach is collaborative, compassionate, and tailored to each individual’s needs. I work primarily with adults using an integrative approach that includes Psychodynamic Therapy, CBT, EMDR, and Mindfulness. I have extensive experience supporting individuals in creative and caregiving fields, helping them reconnect with themselves, build resilience, and find balance. I also work with adult children of caregivers who struggled with substance abuse and mental health issues such as Borderline and Narcissistic Personality Disorder.
As a fully licensed mental health therapist, I believe self-awareness and meaningful connections are essential to finding happiness and stability in life. Taking the first step to seek support can be challenging, so congratulations on reaching out! I’ve been practicing since 2020 and, at the end of 2024, I decided to start my own private practice. I primarily work with individuals (ages 12 and older) who find themselves struggling with anxiety, depression, and/or other life adjustment challenges.
