Our Story
Friends laughing together outdoors1

Individualized Care

Care based on your health needs, medical history, lifestyle, goals and preferences, not a single symptom. The plan is built for you, and it changes as you do.

A smiling multigenerational group of adults and children2

Culturally Responsive Care

Your background, values, beliefs and preferences are respected and considered as part of your care. You should feel understood, not processed.

Whole-Person Care

Physical health, mental health, prevention, chronic conditions, lifestyle and long-term wellness, looked at together rather than one symptom in isolation.

More Than a Video Visit

GeneSight® Testing

More information to help guide mental-health medication decisions.

GeneSight® Testing uses a simple cheek swab to provide genetic information about how your body may process certain medications used for depression, anxiety and ADHD. Charles considers it alongside your symptoms, medical history, previous treatment response and a clinical evaluation. It is one input in a shared decision, not a guarantee of which medication will work.
