Charles Chapman M.A., LPC

I help men who feel stuck, anxious, or overwhelmed find clarity and confidence again. As a licensed therapist in Oregon, I specialize in working with men facing anxiety, ADHD, and OCD—guiding them toward peace, purpose, and practical solutions that work in real life. My approach is grounded, compassionate, and focused on helping you understand yourself, manage your mind, and live with greater confidence and calm. Whether you’re navigating relationships, work stress, or inner restlessness, therapy can help you reconnect to what matters most—so you can lead your life with strength and integrity.

Helping Men Find Clarity, Confidence, and Calm

Therapy for men in Portland, Oregon navigating anxiety, ADHD, OCD, and the pressures of modern life.

From the outside, you might look like you have it all together—career, family, stability. But inside, it feels like you’re holding it all together with duct tape. You can’t turn your mind off. You feel anxious, distracted, restless, or stuck. Maybe you’ve tried to power through, hoping it would get better on its own. But it hasn’t.

You don’t have to keep doing it alone. I help men find peace of mind, focus, and emotional balance. Together, we’ll work to calm your anxiety, manage ADHD symptoms, and navigate intrusive thoughts from OCD so you can lead your life with confidence and purpose again.

About My Approach

As a licensed therapist in Portland, I specialize in working with men who want to live with more purpose, self-awareness, and strength. I integrate evidence-based techniques for anxiety, ADHD, and OCD with mindfulness and grounded guidance so you can experience real change that lasts.

What You Can Expect

Therapy with me isn’t about fixing you—it’s about helping you find your way back to yourself. We’ll slow things down, make sense of the noise, and uncover what’s getting in the way of peace and clarity. Along the way, you’ll learn practical tools to manage anxiety, build focus, and create a life that feels aligned with who you really are.

Here are some of the things I help people with:

Men's Issues

Men are told to man up. To keep it together. To provide. To swallow their pain and pretend it doesn’t exist. But the truth is, a lot of men are lonely, angry, ashamed, or stuck—trying to figure out how to be strong without losing their soul. I help men step into something deeper. We talk about presence, about purpose, about what it means to lead without control and love without fear. Because the world doesn’t need more men who are silent and checked out—it needs men who are awake, grounded, and alive.

Relationship Issues

We’re all shaped by the stories we tell ourselves about love. Maybe you keep repeating the same arguments, or maybe you’ve gone silent altogether. Sometimes it feels like you’re living next to each other instead of with each other. My work is about helping you see those patterns for what they are—old scripts that no longer serve you. Together, we uncover what’s underneath, the places your nervous system keeps holding on, and we start writing a new story. One where you show up with presence, courage, and the kind of connection you’ve always wanted.

Sexuality

Sex is never just sex. It’s history, it’s body, it’s belief, it’s the quiet whispers you’ve carried since childhood about what’s good and what’s bad, what’s allowed and what’s forbidden. For many, sex feels complicated—desire doesn’t match, shame takes over, or you feel like you’ve lost yourself in the process. I create a space to explore all of that. To get curious about how your body and brain work, to let go of the shame, and to rediscover your own capacity for desire and intimacy. Because your sexuality isn’t broken—it’s waiting to be reclaimed.

Codependency

You know that feeling—when you’re constantly scanning the room, making sure everyone else is okay, all while quietly abandoning yourself? That’s codependency. It looks like peacekeeping, but really it’s slow suffocation. I help you trace those roots—why your nervous system decided that pleasing others was safer than standing tall in your own truth. And then we start the work of coming back. Boundaries. Self-respect. The kind of love that doesn’t erase you, but actually allows you to breathe again.

Anxiety

Anxiety isn’t just in your head—it’s in your body. It’s the racing thoughts, the tight chest, the sleepless nights, the sense that something is always just about to go wrong. Your nervous system is stuck in overdrive, and you feel powerless to stop it. What if anxiety wasn’t the enemy, but a signal—your body’s way of telling you something needs to shift? That’s the work I do. We slow down, we listen, we learn how to soothe the system and rewrite the story. So you can move from frantic survival to grounded presence.

Spirituality

Faith can be beautiful, but it can also wound. Maybe you were told you were never enough. Maybe love always felt conditional. Maybe the God you were handed was small, angry, and hard to please. Spiritual abuse leaves scars that go deep. I walk with people who are untangling those lies, who are deconstructing, questioning, aching for something truer. Together, we explore what still holds weight, what needs to be released, and what sacred might mean for you now. This isn’t about rules—it’s about freedom. About reclaiming a spirituality that gives life instead of stealing it.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are you currently accepting new clients?

Yes, I'm currently welcoming new clients for online telehealth sessions. My up-to-date availability is shown on my calendar — just click the scheduling link to find a time that works for you.

What are your rates and do you take insurance?

Insurance

Yes, I take insurance. I am an in-network provider with Moda, Blue Cross, and PacificSource Health Plans.

If your insurance is not listed above, you may still be able to receive reimbursement through your out-of-network benefits. I'm happy to provide you with the supporting documentation needed to submit a claim to your insurance carrier. In these cases, payment in full is required at the time of the session.

While many clients use insurance to pay for therapy, others prefer to pay out of pocket.

Rates

Initial intake session: $270

55-minute therapy session: $250

90-minute therapy session: $370

Do you accept Health Savings Account (HSA) or Flexible Spending (FSA) benefit cards?

Yes! Some companies provide an HSA or FSA debit card for their employees that can be used to pay for non-covered expenses. If you don't have a card but have another type of health savings or flexible spending account, I'm happy to provide an invoice you can submit for reimbursement.

Do you offer in-person sessions or telehealh?

I see clients exclusively online. This gives me the flexibility to work with individual from all over the state, while offering you the convenience and privacy of meeting from your own space.

Do you see couples?

My primary focus is working with individuals, but in certain cases I may meet with a partner or as a couple to support a client's growth and process. If you're looking specifically for ongoing couples therapy, I'll usually recommend you connect with a dedicated marriage and family therapist while I continue to support you individually.

What are your qualifications as a therapist?

I hold a Master's degree in Counseling Psychology and a Bachelor's degree in Human Development. Over the past 15 years, I've spent more than 20,000 clinical hours supporting individuals through challenges with relationships, anxiety, addiction, and identity.

What is your therapeutic approach?

I use a model I’ve developed called Masculine Embodied Neuropsychology (M.E.N.). This approach recognizes that the brain is a “drug-seeking machine,” always looking for the neurochemical rewards that come when our core needs are met. Instead of simply managing symptoms, we look at how thoughts, behaviors, and relationships shape the nervous system and the neuropeptides that drive our emotional states. Masculine Embodied Neuropsychology combines neuroscience, psychology, and embodiment practices to help men break free from old patterns, regulate their emotions, and create meaningful connection.
