Hello, I’m Charles Alford, therapist and certified Substance Use Disorder Professional (SUDP) serving clients from my private practice in Seattle.

My approach is tailored to meet your goals and may include helping you solve your problems, develop your strengths, and provide skills to increase your daily life effectiveness. Often, this process involves giving attention to the thoughts, feelings, behaviors, and experiences that hinder living a balanced and meaningful life. My deliverance when working with clients is client-centered, collaborative, and non-judgmental.

I invite you to learn more about my training and experience as well as my therapy practice in these pages. If you have questions or would like to talk with me about working together, I encourage you to call me for a free 15-minute phone consultation to see if I may be a good fit.

I would be happy to help.

“In today’s America, we tend to think of healing as something binary; either we’re broken or we’re healed from that brokenness. But that’s not how healing operates, and it’s almost never how human growth works. More often, healing and growth take place on a continuum, with innumerable points between utter brokenness and total health.”
