Obsessive-compulsive disorder therapists & psychiatrists in Muskegon, MI

I’m Chardae (She/Her), a licensed clinical social worker and relational therapist. I work with individuals, couples, and people in diverse relationship and family structures who are navigating relationship challenges, codependency, communication difficulties, boundaries, attachment patterns, trauma, life transitions, and/or feeling disconnected from themselves or the people they love (anxiety/depression and/or burnout).

I hold two clinical credentials: an LPC and a QIDP — a Qualified Intellectual Disability Professional — which means my clinical training extends across a wide range of presentations, and I bring that breadth to every client I see.

I work with adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, PTSD, ADHD, maternal mental health, infertility, grief, relationship stress, and the complicated emotions that come with life transitions like divorce and parenthood. I believe you already have the strengths to get through this — my job is to help you find and build on them.

My style is laid back and warm, with a sense of humor that tends to take the edge off. You deserve a therapist you can actually talk to, and I take that seriously.

For me, I aim to help others transform their lives through compassionate, personalized care (with plenty of humor along the way). I specialize in working with people of color, student-athletes, and those who are neurodivergent. If you’re neurodivergent and reading this, you’ve finally found someone who specializes in and deeply understands your unique perspective. Whether seeking clarity on behaviors, understanding how you interpret the world, or navigating challenges, I am here to help.
