Welcome, Charnel Fairley!

We’re excited to introduce a therapist who brings a calm, compassionate presence and a true heart for healing. With experience supporting individuals through trauma, addiction, anxiety, and life transitions, Charnel meets each person exactly where they are—honoring their story with empathy, patience, and respect.
Rooted in empowerment and evidence-based care, she creates a safe, supportive space—both in person and via telehealth—where clients can explore their experiences, build confidence, and move toward meaningful, lasting change at a pace that feels right for them.
