Meet Our Staff

Marsha Charles

MS, NCC, CSP, LPC

(Founder/Licensed Clinician)

Helping others understand how the mind and body are connected is why I started Change Your Mind. Realizing that we have the power to make significant changes in our physical, physiological, and emotional wellness can benefit those experiencing symptoms of anxiety and trauma.

I wanted to share holistic interventions that work with psychotherapy to integrate the functioning of our bodies and our minds to enhance wellness.

I’ve been a licensed professional counselor since 2002. My diverse background in the field of psychology has spanned over 30 years, and includes working with children, teens, adults, geriatrics, as well as the military population and athletes.  I have experience working in neuropsychology and with concussion and traumatic brain injury (TBI), anxiety, headaches, general stress management, trauma, chronic pain, and PTSD.

I am passionate about mind-body wellness and hope to share my skills and knowledge when working with clients to learn techniques that enhance their overall wellness.  My scope of practice is focused on a holistic approach that pairs traditional psychotherapy with alternative therapeutic interventions, such as Biofeedback, Neurofeedback, Relaxation therapy, Mindfulness, and Hypnotherapy, as well as other somatic and trauma-informed techniques.

I also provide education and training in stress management and mindfulness for corporate staff

What people say about Marsha…

  • “I was skeptical about how this would work, but in several sessions I was actually able to learn how to calm myself.” -PTSD survivor

  • “My therapist was a professional. She was warm and caring, and truly invested in helping her patients. I felt comfortable working with her and found it easy to relax with her guidance. What a difference it made!” -former biofeedback patient

  • “After many years of dealing with the effects of PTSD, I began working with Change Your Mind: Center for Brain-Body Wellness in March of this past year. Walking in the door I was looking for a way to lessen the pain of the specific cause of my trauma. What I found was astounding!

    Within a few short months, utilizing breathing techniques, meditations and talk therapy, my life began to change. Calmness replaced anger. Hope replaced fear. 

    Serenity replaced anxiety. In short, my life has changed and it all started by changing my mind! I can’t begin to thank you enough for what you have helped me do! You’re the Best!!”

Rebecca Renshaw

LPC

I have been working in the mental health field since 2015. I started my career helping children/adolescents and their families, and over the past two years I have shifted to working with adults only. This has given me a wonderful snapshot into the different life stages and experience with meeting people where they are at to take their next steps.

I typically use a combination of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) techniques, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) techniques, and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) techniques to work at responding to depressive and anxious symptoms. I also utilize CBT for insomnia and mindfulness techniques/attitudes for sleep disruption. Let's work together to make sustainable changes in mindset and approach to support growth, healing, and overall improvement.

Mission

I hope to provide clients with a better understanding of how the mind-body connection influences our physical and emotional health, and how we can learn skills that enhance our overall well-being.

All treatment is individualized and will be tailored to your needs. I am dedicated to providing my clients courteous, compassionate, and professional service.
