Dr. Charles Freeman, PHD

I struggled to find the right type of therapy to help with my anxiety and insomnia, but Dr. Freeman guided me in the right direction. Through a combination of CBT, talk therapy, and hypnotherapy, he provided me with effective tools that tremendously improved my sleep. He’s down-to-earth, easy to talk to, and genuinely cares about his patients. If you’re dealing with similar issues, I highly recommend Dr. Freeman—he made a real difference in my life.

I have had a transformative experience with Dr. Freeman. He is an exceptional listener, taking the time to truly understand my concerns. His guidance in teaching practical tools has completely changed the way I think, empowering me to overcome my fears and depression. What’s even more remarkable is that these tools are ones I can apply for the rest of my life. I’m truly grateful for his compassionate and effective approach, and I highly recommend his services to anyone seeking lasting change.

Weekly sessions with Dr. Freeman truly transformed and boosted my mental health journey. The progress I made with him is immeasurable. Each visit Dr. Freeman had new insights to offer and gave me useful resources that I use in some capacity daily. Scheduling was flexible, we would sometimes meet in person, other times through Telehealth. I would most definitely recommend seeing him.

Charlie has been a true lifeline for me. Over the past five years, I’ve struggled with depression, anxiety, ADHD, and deep loneliness. With his genuine care and guidance, I’ve finally found my way out of that dark place. He’s not just another therapist—he truly cares and is committed to helping me heal, not just putting a band-aid on the situation. He’s recommended books, connected me with a great psychiatrist and support groups, and helped me manage my ADHD. Thanks to him, I’ve regained my confidence. I’m deeply grateful for his support and can’t recommend him enough.

Dr. Freeman helped with more than I originally had gone to see him for. Actually took the time to know me personally and help with beyond what I needed

Dr. Freeman is a very skilled and empathetic clinician. I saw him for years and recommended him to many friends and colleagues who were all very pleased with their care.

As an active-duty military member with over 20 years of service, I decided it was time to meet with someone to discuss issues I was experiencing with anger, anxiety, resentment, and difficulties connecting with others. With a host of referrals presented, Dr. Freeman was quick to return my request to meet, and over an 8-month period encompassing 22 sessions, he was able to help me grapple with the “cognitive distortions” I was experiencing. His exercises allowed me to pause and identify certain events in my life, recognize emotions and automatic thoughts, tie cognitive distortions to those thoughts, and then identify an “alternative rational belief.” He helped me recognize things about myself that I was unaware, provide answers to experiences that occurred long-ago, and address areas in my life that led to my current self. I found Dr. Freeman to be exceptionally compassionate, non-judgmental, and reliable. He is an active listener who offers meaningful feedback – all tempered with

I first worked with Dr Freeman over 10 years ago. He helped me develop a tool kit to deal with my insomnia and anxiety that has become the backbone of my daily practice. I recently had an episode that I needed help with, so I sought out Dr Freeman (he had moved across the country). Even though I had to pay out of network, it was well worth it. We worked through my issues using new techniques as well as reinforcing some lost habits and he even helped me with some career counseling, boosting my confidence. He's genuinely compassionate, attentive and is great at tuning in to your needs and finding what works best for you. I highly recommend working with him should you have the opportunity.

I visited Dr Freeman because of my recurring insomnia issues. I was feeling frustrated for not being able to solve that part of my life. Visiting Dr Freeman was very helpful to understand my emotions better. A lot of those emotions were affecting me behind the scenes without realizing it. It was very easy for me to open up with Dr Freeman since he is a great listener and shows empathy even on the most silly thoughts. I never felt judged but totally the opposite, he has great ability to share compassion on any dark, heavy feeling you share. I learned practical tools to help clear out my mind before going to sleep. It was enough for me to start feeling lighter on some feelings just by hearing his perspective. He was very respectful in all sessions and communication with him was easy too. My sleep definitely improved with the therapies. I highly recommend Dr Freeman

Before meeting with Dr. Freeman i was in a very dark place in my life. Mentally, emotionally, and had issues falling asleep or even coping with normal daily functions. Dr. Freeman helped me get back on my feet and get my life back on track. I’m definitely indebted to him. I recommend his services to anyone in need of help.

Dr. Freeman is an excellent listener, compassionate, and knowledgeable. Working together, we were able to unravel the causes of my insomnia, and he suggested numerous techniques including (hypnosis, CBT, and EMDR) to help me achieve better sleep. The process took twelve sessions. One of the things that has been so beneficial is that I left therapy with several strategies to use when I wake up at night. My insomnia hasn’t returned even during very stressful periods of my life. I highly recommend Dr. Freeman because he is easy to talk to, offers excellent insight and explanations, and has a wealth of techniques that have helped me achieve peace and balance in my life. He is a caring practitioner who is truly concerned about his patients’ well-being.

I can’t speak highly enough of Dr. Charles Freeman. I began seeing Dr. Charlie this year when I decided I wanted to start a family, and realized that my sleep medications (which I had absolutely depended on for YEARS) were not allowed during pregnancy. Initially I was very skeptical if it were even possible to sleep without the help of medication (as I had previously tried and failed), but with his advice and support I was slowly able to turn off my brain naturally. Dr. Charlie has a plethora of tricks up his sleeves in order to help you sleep better and reduce your anxiety surrounding sleep. He offers a variety of tactics you can use from cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), to meditation, to foods to enhance your quality of sleep. On top of being an expert in his field, Dr. Charlie is genuine and kind. I appreciated his gentle demeanor and found him pleasant to talk to. He understood what I needed in therapy, and took into account my concerns and personal limitations - it was a very tailored experience. Without hesitation, I recommend his services!

I’m grateful for the sessions I had with Dr. Freeman. Having his support, wisdom, and feedback were invaluable on my journey toward better health & healing. Now, having a greater understanding of insomnia and the thought patterns that contribute to it, I’m better able to influence my own experience. For anyone whose struggling with insomnia and the mental health challenges that come along with it, I highly recommend reaching out to Dr. Freeman. His care is genuine. You will feel it. And you will get better with him on your side.

It took about 5 months to get me back to my normal daily large iced coffee every morning, tea in the afternoon, and fall asleep on the couch with Netflix and all the lights on, sleep routine.  I was highly skeptical with his holistic approach from the very beginning because after 2 months of desperately trying everything to cure my insomnia (exercise, sleep masks, melatonin, hot showers, white noise machines, ear plugs, OTC medication, and some of the strongest prescribed sleep pills on the market) NOTHING WORKED.  He worked with me every week for about 3 months straight, then progressed to biweekly sessions as I was building my sleep habits and sleep quality got better.    It’s really how he worked with me during every session with cognitive behavioral techniques, homework assignments, and a ton of tips and tricks I’d try each week to build sleep habits that WORK.  I can’t thank Dr. Freeman enough! Worth every dollar.

Dr. Freeman makes efficient use of appointment time, packing it full of actionable information to help you start sleeping better. Sleep issues are complex and he has a multi-pronged approach, giving me lots of tools to work with. I was able to taper off lorazepam and was sleeping after six sessions. I am thrilled!

Dr. Freeman has been outstanding! He has helped me tremendously and is very knowledgeable on helping service members who are unable to find help anywhere else. I felt safe and comfortable sharing my issues and concerns with him. I would highly recommend him.

After an unspeakable tragedy, I spent several months working through my trauma with Dr. Freeman. From talk therapy to EMDR and hypnosis. It wasn't easy, but with his insights, leadership and patience I was able to find the peace and strength to once again live a normal and happy life. Forever grateful.

I have always been a light sleeper. Even minor stresses at work or in daily life would trigger episodes of insomnia, each of which would last 2-4 weeks. During these episodes, I would barely get 1-2 hours of sleep at night. On subsequent days, I would barely be able to function at work or spend quality time with my family. I tried variety of sleep aides and anti-anxiety medications, but they came with their own side effects and failed to give me a refreshing sleep. I then worked with Dr. Freeman for about 3 months, which made an immense improvement in my sleep quality. He is a great listener and a gentle soul. The first couple of sessions he took the time to understand my personality and core issues that lead to recurring bouts of insomnia. With my permission, he even reached out to my wife to better understand my nature and anxiety issues. He then started to gradually teach me techniques, such as , self-hypnosis for relaxation and sleep induction, ericksonian hypnosis to tame extreme

It was without a doubt an unforgettable experience. Doctor Charles Freeman took the time to personally get to know me and work side by side throughout any problem and listen to anything I had to say during my time in his office. Doctor Freeman has professional knowledge with sleep disorders, multiple therapy techniques, and understanding stress and anxiety. Not only does he work around schedules, he also replies back in a timely manner. I would highly recommend him to anyone, especially if in any military service. I sincerely thank him for all he’s done!

Dr. Freeman was helped me identify the issues that were preventing from sleeping for years. He also provided me with different skills and tactics to combat my insomnia. I’ve definitely seen an improvement and would highly recommend Dr. Freeman to anyone seeking assistance in correcting their bad sleep habits.
