Charles Schindler

Hello there! I’m Charles Schindler and I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) providing psychotherapy and mental health treatment for over a decade. I earned my Masters in Social Work with a focus in Trauma Recovery from Boston University in 2014. I started my professional journey in community mental health before transitioning to private practice. I understand that therapy isn’t one-size-fits-all. I strive to provide a practice style that is collaborative and conversational. I aim to develop a treatment approach that is grounded in your identity, story and personal goals. I understand how therapy can feel overwhelming, disorienting, and heavy at times. I aim to offer a space where nothing has to be minimized or rushed; where your feelings are fully felt, carefully explored, and better understood. I truly believe in treating the person and their environment, not just a diagnosis. Whether you are struggling with anxiety, depression, trauma, relationships or exploring aspects of your identity, we will look at the whole picture. Much of my professional development has focused on specializing in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT). This includes individual and group settings, as well as providing DBT training for other mental health professionals. I also utilize approaches drawn from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing (MI) and other models. I truly believe the use of validation, empathy and humor are the unsung heroes of a therapeutic relationship. If you are looking for an empathetic, encouraging and supportive therapist with a dash of humor, I think we could be a good match. You deserve more than just “getting by”. I want to help you build a life that feels meaningful, empowered and worth living.
