Lorene Charles, AMFT

Now offering in office appointments in San Francisco and teleheath in CA. I look forward to the opportunity of working with you and supporting you in reaching your full potential.

I am deeply committed to supporting the LGBTQ+ community. I’ve supported many queer people in exploring their sexual attraction, gender, and identity.
One of my specialties is working with those who are taking a look at sex and gender beyond heteronormative culture. I am sex-positive and kink-aware, with a focus on helping individuals and couples navigate non-monogamy, polyamory and unique intimate relationships of all kinds.
I am passionate about helping people become comfortable with their emotions and more authentic in their relationships and with themselves. With a background in yoga instruction, I can help you learn how to use your body to introspectively explore the feelings you experience. I teach clients how to be more grounded, feel more centered and be less reactive and anxious.
I approach therapy from an attachment perspective, working with clients to discover how our childhood relationships impact our adult connections. I’m sensitive to the role of individual, collective and cultural trauma and how it has shaped our life’s experiences.
