Synergy Therapy and Counseling Services, LLC/ Charlene Hogue

My clients describe me as warm, validating, trustworthy, engaged, a good communicator, collaborative, and focused on my clients’ goals.

Many of my clients have feelings of guilt and shame and believe something is wrong with them, or they are the problem. They may develop people pleasing behaviors to maintain harmony or get approval in their relationships. They struggle with self image and turn on themselves through blame and anger.

I provide a safe emotional space to help clients identify problems in areas such as trauma, grief, relationship issues, reproductive health, and adjustment issues to assist them in developing treatment goals to modify unhelpful responses and behaviors. My ultimate goal is to encourage a client to develop self-awareness through self-acceptance and self-compassion as the way to be the person she/he wants to be.
