Our Services
Seeing Dr. Charles Freeman was honestly one of the best health decisions I’ve made. When I first started working with him, I was dealing with a massive amount of work stress, lingering past trauma, and most importantly, terrible sleep that was affecting everything.
Over a good stretch of time, Dr. Freeman helped me work through it all. He didn't just give me a quick fix. We dug deeply into sleep hygiene, sleep psychology, CBT-I, and cognitive restructuring together. Because of his help, I’ve been able to turn things around, and I've learned how to approach my life with much more confidence and balance.
Dr. Freeman is just a genuinely wonderful, caring person. His expertise is incredible, but his bedside manner and kindness are what really set him apart. If you're struggling with sleep or feeling overwhelmed by life, I can't recommend him enough!

Patient Experiences
I saw Dr. Freeman about 20 times over an 18 month time period. I had extreme sleep issues. He taught me tools to keep my insomnia under control as well as anxiety. His listening skills are over the top, in my opinion. He is so non-judgmental, never seems to be thrown by any problem I may have. I no longer consider myself an insomniac. If I have a few bad nights, I just move on. As he would say, it is what it is, nothing more than a bad night. I would recommend Dr. Freeman to anyone needing mental health care in his fields of expertise. Dr. Freeman has been such a wonderful thing for me. I had sleep issues where I was only sleeping 4 hours a night and he helped me get to the point that I can now sleep at least 7 hours a night. Makes a huge difference when getting up to go to work. I have been seeing him for 2 + years and I feel so much better now than I did when I started with him. No more crying - feeling bad. I am now more positive and happier." He so worth seeing!!!

A patient who has the good fortune to have Dr. Freeman as his or her Psychologist will enjoy insightful and effective diagnosis and treatment. Dr. Freeman’s treatment is designed in a way to benefit his patients and is delivered in a well thought out and non threatening manner. I found Dr. Freeman’s treatment invaluable to curing my condition and ultimately helped improved several facets of my life. I began my treatment in June 2005. Initially my treatment included visualization techniques to provide relaxation and enable better and sound sleep. Dr. Freeman determined my treatment needed additional steps regarding dysthymia and designed steps and recommendations to encourage me. He identified several ideas and ways to change my cognitive behaviors. I was encouraged to improve my referral network, job hunting ideas and approaches. Dr. Freeman took the time to get to know me and my situation and thus had a really sound basis for designing a plan to help me most fully. Most importantly, I always found Dr. Freeman to be excellent at really listening and understanding my thoughts and concerns. My experience with Dr. Freeman was excellent. Dr. Freeman is a true professional and I highly endorse him to anyone interested in a high quality psychology services.
