You or a loved one has been charged with a crime. You have quickly learned that criminal charges affect you individually, but also affect your relationships with those you care about. Maybe you are experiencing feeling rejected by people you thought you could depend on. What you thought would be a quick process after securing an attorney has actually turned into a guessing game. How much is this going to cost me? When is this going to be over? Am I going to lose my job? Are my family and friends going to continue to support me through this? Your emotions are probably up and down, with confusion, shame and anger being just a few of the emotions you are feeling. Or maybe it is your loved one that has been charged with a crime. How do I support this person through this process? How is their criminal charge going to affect my life? You may feel a huge responsibility has been placed upon you, and it is overwhelming. Seek the support you so desperately need with a therapist that has knowledge and experience in the criminal justice system due to her previous career working with a well-respected team of defense attorneys in Charlotte.
