​Children, Adolescents & Adults

Hi, I'm Charles Mautz, a clinician with DRG Counseling. 

I earned a Bachelor's in Psychology from UNC Chapel Hill in 2010 and a Masters in Clinical Health Psychology from Appalachian State University in 2013. I am a Licensed Psychological Associate. 

I have experience providing group and individual therapy for a variety of emotional, behavioral, and severe psychological/psychiatric concerns, working primarily with adolescents and adults.

I have experience in inpatient and outpatient settings, as well as with justice-involved individuals. 

My primary goal as a therapist is to build a strong, trusting, and supportive bond with my client. It is within this therapeutic alliance that I believe our best work can be done. In all my endeavors as a psychologist, I strive to provide honest, thoughtful, attentive, and focused effort toward learning about and addressing my clients’ concerns as an equal part of this team. It is vital to our ability as therapist and client that trust and openness are present in order to explore emotional, interpersonal, and sensitive life areas. 

I work to provide appropriate treatment to all clients and often provide such interventions from a Cognitive Behavioral Therapy or Person-Centered approach. I consider it an obligation to remain open and nonjudgmental not only about the style of therapy that may provide benefit to my clients, but also to the needs of those to whom I provide service. Clients with whom I work have often taken the largest stride already by beginning therapy. Now, I believe, it is our job as a team to alleviate distress and improve their life.

Given these approaches and perspectives, I attempt to facilitate an environment in therapy in which my clients are comfortable sharing details of their lives, as well as one in which they feel progression and growth. 

Finally, I focus on continually learning and growing, from therapeutic interventions, to cultural awareness, to best practices in psychology.

All our endeavors allow the opportunity to progress and I am eager to share these journeys with my clients.
