Chelsie Ciminelli
Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Holistic Health Practitioner
I believe that the work we do with others is deeply influenced by the work we are willing to do within ourselves. My own healing journey has profoundly shaped the therapist I am today. I have experienced my own process of moving through old patterns, becoming more deeply connected to myself, learning to listen to my body and intuition, and discovering that healing is not about becoming someone different. It is about coming home to who we truly are. I consider myself both a therapist and an intuitive healer and guide. I bring my clinical training and professional experience together with a deep trust in intuition, the wisdom of the body, and the idea that there is often more happening beneath the surface than what we can immediately see or explain. I pay attention not only to what you tell me, but also to what I sense may be asking for attention within the therapeutic space.
My hope is that you feel deeply seen, heard, and accepted when you are with me. You do not need to have the right words, understand exactly what is wrong, or arrive with everything figured out. We can begin wherever you are.
I feel honored to walk alongside people during some of the most vulnerable and transformative chapters of their lives. I don't see myself as someone who has all the answers, but rather as someone who can help you listen more deeply to your own inner wisdom and reconnect with the parts of yourself that already know the way forward.

Dr. Char Houben
Psychologist, PhD, LP
Dr. Houben provides therapy that goes beyond merely treating symptoms and takes a depth-oriented perspective in order for us to examine root causes and incorporate enduring change. She views therapy as a collaborative process, focusing on the therapeutic relationship as a vehicle for self-exploration and change. She understands that your cultural background is an integral part of your identity, so she is dedicated to creating a safe, inclusive, and affirming therapeutic space. With a comprehensive approach to treatment, Dr. Houben recognizes that well-being encompasses the integration of mental, emotional, and physical aspects of health and considers the entirety of your being. In therapy, we will begin a collaborative journey together, exploring the depths of your experiences, fostering psychological flexibility, and facilitating profound personal growth. If you are ready to embrace on this transformative process, I am here to understand your lived experiences and provide you the support, guidance, and expertise you need. Together, we will embark on a path toward self-discovery, healing, and, incorporate lasting positive change.

Dr. Michael J. Lee
Psychologist
Anxiety, depression, or recurring difficulties in relationships can leave you caught in patterns you understand only partly. I offer depth-oriented psychotherapy for adults seeking relief from what hurts and a fuller understanding of themselves. My practice draws on Jungian, psychoanalytic, and existential traditions, with careful attention to the particular life and experience of each person. I meet clients in SouthPark, Charlotte, and online across PSYPACT-participating states.
