About Charley Rafferty (She/Her)
I am a queer-identified therapist who works with teens, couples, and adults. I utilize a strengths-based approach and a trauma-informed lens with my clients. I use a psychodynamic approach with clients who want to explore their unconscious motives and behaviors. I am a member of our Queer, I team and specialize in supporting the LGBTQIA+ community. In my work with couples, I use the Gottman method to work through difficult conflicts.
