I’m a trained creative arts therapist and somatic therapy practitioner based in Tiohtia:ke/Montreal. My approach to therapy is essentially somatic, trauma-informed, person-centered and anchored in the assumptions of liberation psychology, anti-oppression & response-based practice. I have practiced drama therapy and mental health counselling in community settings, with a focus on supporting marginalized Black folks, BIPOC and QTBIPOC youth. I am committed to a decolonized or re-indigenized view of health. Instead of viewing behavior and symptoms through the lens of pathology, I ask: How has your nervous system been responding to the world around it, and why? How can we work together to build compassionate understanding for these responses, while remaining curious as to what new responses may better suit who you currently are and what you desire? Together, we can work towards your goals and support you in remembering and reconnecting to your own inherent resiliency and sacred resources for navigating all of life’s challenges. Depending on the needs of those I work with, I draw tools from different therapeutic approaches: Drama therapy, with some tools drawn from art, music and dance movement therapy Mindfulness-based techniques Person-centered therapy (humanistic) Emotion-focused therapy Solution-focused therapy Somatic and EMDR therapy Compassion-focused therapy Strength-based approach Response-based practice Internal family systems therapy (IFS) Cognitive Behavioural Therapy I am not currently open to new clients in my practice. I will likely be open to new clients as of January 2026. If you have any questions, feel free to email me at: kathleencharlescounselling@gmail.com https://www.kathleencharles.com/

As a Black queer social worker of Afro-Caribbean descent, I work using a strengths-based, and trauma-informed lens, with a deep commitment to anti-racist and anti-oppressive practice. Much of my experience has been working with BIPOC and 2SLGBTQIA+ folks, particularly navigating racial, institutional and relational trauma. But I have also worked with many other communities. I believe that everyone has the ability to heal themselves, and I am passionate about supporting that journey. I mostly rely on emotion-focused, compassionate, somatic and mindfulness-based approaches. I am firmly rooted in abolitionist and liberation-based frameworks, and work from a place of deep love for my communities. ​ I know that seeking support for our mental health is very vulnerable and can feel scary. So, I try my best to create both a safe and brave space where you can be yourself.

I integrate narrative storywork, bibliotherapy, expressive writing, and spirituality to support your re-authoring process. Since individual and communal wellbeing depends on the kind of personal, intergenerational, and societal stories we co-write and internalize about ourselves and the world, we will work on re-writing paradigms that no longer serve you. We’ll also work on re-storying your life narrative by integrating your sacred dreams and ancestral heritage in your current reality so you can live a life that resonates deeply with your soul purpose! If you’re ready to reclaim your agency and write the new story your soul longs for, this space is for you. Call to start your sacred dreamwork journey today!

On the surface, you’re an accomplished woman navigating a difficult period. But beneath that, you are silently battling anxiety, depression, overwhelm, and discouragement; despite trying self-help tools and distractions, the emotional pain hasn’t eased—and the effects of past trauma have been showing up in your daily life. You’re exhausted from carrying it all, and are worried about things getting worse and losing what you’ve worked so hard to build. You don’t just need support—you deserve a compassionate, understanding psychologist who can truly connect with you and guide you toward real, lasting healing, peace, and fulfillment. For over 12 years, I’ve supported women—including those seeking faith-based, Muslim-centred care—to heal from trauma, break free from anxiety and depression, and build genuine confidence and empowerment. I use the therapeutic approach that personally transformed my own life, and I offer an option that thoughtfully integrates Islamic principles for those who wish to include that in their healing journey. If you live in Alberta, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Nunavut, or Quebec, I invite you to book a free 15-minute video consultation by emailing me at audrey@overanxietypsych.com, or directly through my website (https://overanxietypsych.com) where you’ll also find detailed information about my services. I’m here to help you feel free, fulfilled, and whole—through an evidence-based, personalized and deeply compassionate approach! *********** En apparence, vous êtes une femme accomplie qui traverse simplement une période difficile. Mais à l’intérieur, vous luttez en silence contre l’anxiété et la dépression, et vous vous sentez accablée et le découragée. Malgré vos efforts à travers l’auto-assistance et les distractions, la douleur émotionnelle persiste — et les effets des traumatismes que vous avez vécus se manifestent dans votre vie actuelle. Vous êtes épuisée de tout porter seule et craignez que la situation empire, au risque de perdre tout ce pour quoi vous avez travaillé. Vous n’avez pas seulement besoin de soutien — vous méritez une psychologue qui fasse preuve d’empathie, qui vous comprenne réellement et qui peut vous aider à guérir en profondeur, pour retrouver une paix durable et un véritable bien-être. Depuis plus de 12 ans, j’aide les femmes — y compris celles qui recherchent un accompagnement spécialisé basé sur la foi musulmane — à surmonter l’anxiété et la dépression, à guérir leurs traumatismes et à se sentir confiantes. J’utilise une approche thérapeutique qui a profondément transformé ma propre vie, et j’en propose une version qui intègre les enseignements islamiques pour celles qui souhaitent les inclure dans leur processus de guérison. Si vous vivez en Alberta, au Nouveau-Brunswick, en Nouvelle-Écosse, au Nunavut ou au Québec, je vous invite à réserver une consultation vidéo gratuite de 15 minutes — par courriel à audrey@overanxietypsych.com ou directement sur mon site web (https://overanxietypsych.com). Vous y trouverez également des informations détaillées sur mes services. Je serais honorée de vous accompagner vers une libération intérieure, une sérénité profonde et un épanouissement durable — grâce à une approche personnalisée, fondée sur les données et surtout, pleine de compassion!
