Charlie-Mae Johnson helps teens and adults throughout New Hampshire build greater self-understanding, strengthen emotional resilience, and create meaningful change in their lives. At LifeStance Health, she provides individual therapy in a supportive, affirming environment where clients can explore challenges, develop healthier patterns, and move toward their personal goals. Her approach is client-centered, strengths-based, and grounded in the belief that lasting growth begins with self-awareness, self-acceptance, and intentional action. She is particularly passionate about helping individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, and ADHD. Charlie-Mae works collaboratively with clients to better understand the connection between their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors while developing practical skills to manage symptoms, improve daily functioning, and increase confidence. She recognizes that every person’s experience is unique and tailors treatment to each client’s needs, values, and strengths. Charlie-Mae also has experience supporting individuals navigating gender identity concerns, trauma, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), grief, life transitions, and other mental health challenges. She works with diverse populations, including members of the LGBTQ+ community, individuals with autism spectrum disorders, and those involved in adoption or foster care experiences. Her therapeutic work incorporates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), while drawing from additional evidence-based approaches when appropriate. She also offers gender-affirmative medical readiness evaluations as part of her commitment to inclusive and affirming care. Her goal is to create a welcoming, nonjudgmental space where clients feel empowered to explore their experiences with curiosity and compassion. By helping individuals identify patterns that may no longer serve them, she supports the development of healthier coping strategies, stronger boundaries, improved self-trust, and a deeper connection to personal values. Outside of therapy, Charlie-Mae enjoys spending time with family and friends, tabletop gaming, cooking, reading, and exploring new ideas and experiences. She has a lifelong love of learning and is passionate about building community, fostering meaningful connections, and creating spaces where people feel supported, empowered, and encouraged to be their authentic selves. Whether you are seeking support for anxiety, depression, ADHD, gender identity concerns, or another mental health challenge, Charlie-Mae is committed to helping teens and adults across New Hampshire work toward greater well-being and lasting personal growth.
