Meet Charlie Brown: Our Office Therapy Dog at Empowered Psychiatry

At Empowered Psychiatry, we believe that healing happens not just through words and medication, but through connection, comfort, and care. That’s why we’re excited to officially introduce the fluffiest member of our team: Charlie Brown, our beloved therapy dog.

Charlie is a gentle, affectionate shadow dog who brings a grounding, calming presence to the office. Whether she’s curled up by your feet, offering a warm cuddle, or greeting you with a soft tail wag and an enthusiastic lick, Charlie has a way of helping people feel seen, safe, and supported.

She’s especially attuned to emotion—often sensing when someone needs a little extra comfort—and is always happy to sit beside you during your visit. Many clients say her presence helps them feel more at ease, especially during difficult conversations or on high-stress days. Most days, you’ll find her snoozing peacefully in a sunny corner of the office, tongue adorably poking out as she dreams.

Charlie’s superpowers? Unconditional love, quiet companionship, and soft, soulful eyes that somehow say, “You’re not alone.”

If you’d prefer not to have Charlie present during your visit, just let us know. We want everyone to feel comfortable, whether or not that includes a furry friend by your side.

We’re grateful to have Charlie as part of the Empowered Psychiatry family—and we hope she brings a little extra warmth to your experience here.
