hello and welcome.

I’m Dr. Charmaine Ehrhart, a licensed clinical psychologist. I’d love to introduce you to how I work. Psychotherapy with me is my unique integration and weaving together of techniques and theories derived from many theoretical orientations including Relational Psychotherapy, Psychoanalysis, Design Thinking, Somatics, Buddhism, and CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy), along with the experience I’ve gained from working over 20 years in private practice, hospital settings, community based programs, orphanages around the world, and last but definitely not least, as a mother.

If you choose to work with me, we will examine how your feelings, behaviors, ways of relating, and generation of thoughts are connected, so that through the healing and transformation of the therapy relationship, new options to all of these become available to you. Through our individual or couples psychotherapy, you gain understanding, consciousness, compassion, choice and control. All this said, the only way to really know what it is like to do therapy with me, or anyone, is to try a few sessions and see if it feels like a good fit for you.
