Our Story
About Beyond Binary Psychotherapy
When Charlie and their spouse, Melissa, struggled to find available clinicians for Charlie, they realized they were not alone—accessing quality mental health care was a challenge for many. Determined to make a difference, they founded Beyond Binary Psychotherapy (BBP) in 2024 with a mission to provide compassionate, personalized support to those who need it.
After six months of building a client base, Charlie and Melissa opened their first office. It quickly became clear the demand for quality therapy was greater than they could meet alone. To better serve their community, Beyond Binary is excited to welcome more incredible clinicians who share their commitment to holistic, client-centered care. This expansion means more availability, diverse expertise, and the same dedication to helping you navigate life’s challenges. We’re so grateful for your trust and can’t wait to grow this journey together!

Owner/LICSW
Hi! I am Charlie. I am honored you are here. At Beyond Binary Psychotherapy, we believe therapy is a journey of self-discovery, growth, and healing.
Together, we’ll explore your thoughts, emotions, and challenges with curiosity and care, working collaboratively to gain insight, build resilience, and develop effective coping strategies.
I am especially passionate about working with LGBTQ+ and neurodivergent individuals, a commitment shaped by both personal and professional experiences. Advocacy and education within these communities have fueled my dedication to providing an affirming, inclusive space where clients can feel truly seen and understood.
