Why work with Dr. Charles R. Freeman?

As a senior behavioral medicine psychologist, I have treated diverse patients from all over the globe who have unique cultural, spiritual, and world perspectives. I am both a general psychologist and I have the specialty of treating insomnia, nightmares and other sleep disorders. I have extensive experience treating anxiety, depression, shame, irritability, PTSD, OCD, ADHD, addictions, and more with cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), Hypnosis, EMDR, and other therapeutic strategies.

My therapeutic approach is directive so that you can improve as quickly as possible. I will give you homework assignments, hear how you did the next week, we will fine tune the tools that we previously discussed, and we will add additional tools. The general psychotherapy model of talk therapy can keep patients in therapy for years. Yes I have treated patients for 1, 2, or 3+ years; they typically have extensive trauma concurrent with multiple psychiatric challenges. I currently have long term therapy patients and I’m open to working with additional people who need that type of intense deep work. Learn More…
