Charlie Hanson – True Heart Therapy

Hi, it's nice to meet you!

I'm Charlie Hanson, and I'm glad you're here.

What is a fun fact about myself?
I’m a huge reader, and my favorite genre is queer and literary fiction. Every year my goal is to read at least 50 books!

What can you expect as my client?

I bring warmth, empathy, and a non-judgmental presence into the therapy room and prioritize holding space for you in whatever way you need. I believe you are the expert in your own life, and my role is to walk alongside you, offering gentle guidance, thoughtful challenges, and meaningful insights.

Together, we’ll work to help you better attune to your emotions, gain clarity around your experiences, and cultivate a deeper understanding of yourself and your needs. My goal is for you to leave therapy feeling more content, empowered, and in control of your life.

I am LGBTQIA+, neurodivergent, and practice through a body, sex, and kink affirming framework.

Who am I outside of therapy?

In my free time, I like to read, write, watch YouTube, play video games, and do crafts. I love hanging out with my friends and having art nights, exploring local thrift shops, or spending way too much money on a yummy oat milk iced latte.

Pronouns: They/Them

How did I become a therapist?

Ever since I was little, I’ve always wanted to be in a helping role. Growing up, I had a lot of amazing support from family, friends, and therapists. Now that I’m an adult, I want to be that support for someone else. I am passionate about advocating and uplifting people and am so excited to continue that as a therapist.

I attended Lewis and Clark Graduate School of Education and Counseling and hold my Masters of Arts in Marriage, Couple, and Family Therapy.

As a queer, chronically ill, and autistic person, I bring lived experience into the therapy space. These identities shape how I move through the world, and they deeply inform my practice. I’m committed to creating a space that is inclusive, affirming, and grounded in care for those who hold these and other marginalized identities.

I look forward to working with individuals and couples who are curious, open to therapy, and who are ready to implement meaningful change in their life. If this sounds like you, then I am thrilled to help you make these changes and reach your goals! It’s okay if you don’t know where to start; we will go through this journey together.

I particularly enjoy working with folks who identify as queer, trans, and/or neurodivergent.
