Charla Adams J.D, LPC, NCC

Hello, my name is Charla E. Adams, J.D., LPC, NCC, and I am the founder and owner of Brugmansia Counseling Group PLLC. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor, National Certified Counselor, trained clinical supervisor, and certified Heart-Centered Hypnotherapist with a passion for helping individuals, couples, and families heal, grow, and transform their lives. My journey into counseling was inspired by a deep desire to help others move beyond survival and into a place of healing, empowerment, and authenticity. Throughout my career, I have worked with clients facing anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, relationship challenges, life transitions, self-esteem concerns, and spiritual struggles. I believe healing occurs when people feel truly seen, heard, and supported in a safe, compassionate, and nonjudgmental environment. My therapeutic approach is holistic and integrative, recognizing the connection between the mind, body, emotions, and spirit. I utilize a variety of evidence-based and experiential modalities, including EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Mindfulness-Based interventions, Narrative Therapy, and Heart-Centered Hypnotherapy. As a trained hypnotherapist, I help clients access deeper levels of awareness and healing by working with the subconscious mind. Hypnotherapy can be a powerful tool for addressing anxiety, trauma, limiting beliefs, self-esteem concerns, emotional blocks, stress management, habit change, and personal growth. Through guided relaxation and focused therapeutic techniques, clients often gain insights and create meaningful shifts that may be difficult to access through traditional talk therapy alone. I specialize in working with adults, adolescents, couples, and families who are seeking support with: Anxiety and stress management Depression and mood concerns Trauma and PTSD Grief and loss Relationship and marital challenges Divorce and separation adjustment Women's empowerment and self-discovery Life transitions and personal growth Spiritual exploration and healing Professional burnout and caregiver fatigue Self-esteem and confidence building Emotional healing through hypnotherapy and mind-body approaches My goal is not simply to help clients reduce symptoms but to help them create meaningful, lasting transformation. Together, we identify patterns that no longer serve them, heal unresolved emotional wounds, strengthen resilience, develop practical coping skills, and cultivate a life that aligns with their values, purpose, and authentic self. I consider it a privilege to walk alongside my clients on their healing journey. Whether you are navigating a difficult season, recovering from past experiences, seeking deeper self-understanding, or looking to break through emotional barriers, I am committed to helping you uncover the strengths and resources already within you. Healing is possible. Growth is possible. Transformation is possible. You do not have to walk that journey alone. I look forward to supporting you as you move toward greater peace, empowerment, and wholeness.
