Char Midkiff , LMHC

Char Midkiff is a licensed mental health professional who brings compassion and practical support to people navigating grief, life transitions, and emotional challenges. As an LMHC, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, she combines professional training with a deep personal commitment to helping others move toward greater mental and emotional wellbeing. Her approach emphasizes hope, care, and concrete coping strategies to help individuals meet their needs and pursue their goals.

She works from an eclectic, client-focused perspective that draws on cognitive-behavioral tools, cognitive processing techniques, solution-focused methods, and holistic ideas. This blended orientation allows her to tailor interventions to each person - addressing symptoms like anxiety, depression, or anger as well as life concerns such as career changes, parenting strains, relationship difficulties, and addiction-related issues.

Char's life experience informs her clinical work. She retired from the City of Orlando after completing her degree while working full time and raising a family, and she has supported end-of-life care for a professional colleague. As a two-time cancer survivor and a parent in a blended family, she brings lived understanding of caregiving, grief, blended family dynamics, and medical challenges.

Over the course of her career she has supported people with ADHD, substance misuse concerns, trauma and abuse, intimacy and family conflicts, and issues around self-esteem and purpose. She offers steady encouragement and practical strategies to help people make meaningful progress on their life journey.
