Welcome, I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Tennessee, Nationally Board Certified, and a Mental Health Service Provider (MHSP).

I have a deep passion to walk with and offer hope to people dealing with Marital Issues, Affair Recovery, Depression, and Grief. I understand all of these areas on both a personal and professional level, which helps me journey with my clients through their healing in an understanding way.

I would love to talk with you about how I can help you. Please reach out by filling out my online contact form. I will do my best to return your call or email today and to make time to meet with you this week if that works for your schedule.

So, let’s get started! Few things are more miserable than being depressed, dealing with unresolved grief, or living in a bad relationship; And I don’t believe anything feels better than getting healthier and/or being in a great, connected relationship!

TESTIMONIALS

  • “When my depression hit me, I had no idea how to handle it. I felt helpless and hopeless. It took all I had to get off the couch to come see you. I am grateful I did. You helped me identify what caused my depression and helped learn to work through it. I absolutely come out better on the other side. It’s not a stretch to say that God used you to save my life. Thank you Chuck.”

    Client

  • “Thanks for your insights and wisdom last week. You helped to make a big difference in our marriage and home this weekend. You have a gift and I appreciate your ability to help us out.”

    Client

  • “Chuck, you probably get this a lot but I just want you to know that I so totally believe God led us to you. I am so grateful. I don’t know the future, but I do know that this counseling/therapy will give us more freedom to become who God created us to be and is such an answer to my prayers. Thank you.”

    Client

  • “When I went through the darkest day of my life, in a fox-hole, fighting for a marriage, I looked over and you were there. I never think of you without fighting back tears and deep emotion because of the things you said to me in counseling that literally made the difference between a broken and a mended home. I will gladly refer people to you, knowing they will be in good hands.”

    Client

  • “Just wanted to share this with you…from a client I referred to you who’s marriage was in BIG trouble and she got her husband to go with her on the first day and they’ve been singing his praises since!! ‘…WE LOVE CHUCK SUGAR!!! I don’t know who told you about him but seriously please tell them THANK YOU THANK YOU – he is simply amazing!!'”

    Client

  • “We are still going to be coming to see you. There is still a lot of work to be done. It’s easy to see that when we miss seeing you for a while, we need you! By the way my friends who have other friends going to counselors say they see so much more progress in us and that you give so much wiser advice than any of their counselors…That really made me feel good.”

    Client

    Client
