Margarette Charles, LPC, LCADC, CCS
As the founder of Reflections & SelfGrowth, Margarette believes in the process of reflecting and cleaning the lens in order to increase the quality of images. Margarette became interested in becoming a therapist after obtaining her BA degree in Justice Studies with a minor in Family Systems. Upon graduating, Margarette discovered the complexities associated with child behavioral issues, issues within the family and individual personal issues. Subsequently, Margarette went to Graduate School and obtained her Master’s in Addiction Counseling and Master’s in Professional Counseling.
Without having the necessary knowledge, it can be difficult for a person to understand why they react and respond in different ways. Self Discovery + Insight + Knowledge = Power. Sometimes, simply having a “Leaning Ear” can make a huge difference in one’s life due to feeling unheard and misunderstood. We ask ourselves, “Why is therapy important?” How is it any different from talking to our friend, family, pastor, or trusted person? Therapy is different because, as a Licensed Therapist in the State of New Jersey, we go through intensive schooling, training, and continuous, ongoing educational requirements to keep up to date with State Licensure, which is an ongoing lifetime commitment as long as we are practicing. Therapists are unbiased, neutral, and non-judgemental. Additionally, we comply with rigorous ethical and legal standards to prevent unnecessary harm to clients. As a therapist, I strive to help clients gain insight, recognize feelings or emotions, and discover what best works for their unique experiences.
