Therapist

Welcome. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in PA and MI. I believe in providing a non-judgmental space and personal connection to open up the opportunity for you to explore what's causing strain in your life: grief, anxiety, depression, past trauma, or other challenges. I offer practices such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction.

If you're feeling exhausted, anxious, weary, or down.. I believe there is a way to strengthen your sense of self, set realistic expectations and boundaries that value your needs, and bring yourself and your loved ones the best of you.

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.
