Hi, I am Claudia Clemmings
CC is okay too. I am the founder of Charé, former mental health professional, blogger, writer, poetess and iPhone amateur photographer.
My writing journey started many moons ago during childhood. I was trapped by the alluring power of pen to paper and started writing novelettes. I bravely shared one of those stories (which I still have) with friends.

Years later, I made the sensible choice and earned a master’s in counseling at the University of Phoenix. I spent over 15+ years in mental health as a volunteer, case manager, therapist and an allied provider. I worked with various population from the wee ones, temperamental teens, stubborn adults to hardworking Active Duty military.

Throughout my years, writing has always been a constant which led to the creation of Charé in November 2023.

Charé combines my love of writing with mental health. I share my love with you in a few ways:
- Venture over to the Mental Health and Wellness page for discussions on a variety of topics about the impact of mental health
- Checkout my hobby blog Charé Writes for short stories and poetry
- Listen to my podcast Balance & Bloom w/ Francine and Claudia for more mental health and wellness discussions
- Contact me to write for your blog or organization with a mental health focus
