About Charles

I’m Charles Nickell, a Recovery Coach and Counselor with a deep focus on Decisional Mastery and Resilience. With over a decade of professional experience and a lifetime of personal transformation. I guide individuals to break through obstacles, embrace personal responsibility, and build meaningful lives.

My approach is both clinical and deeply personal. After surviving 36 years of incarceration, I rebuilt my life through faith, community, and the power of decisive action. Today, I help others do the same supporting those overcoming addiction, trauma, or significant life transitions with clarity, discipline, and compassion.

To empower individuals to move from stagnation to action through a blend of recovery coaching, counseling, and faith-based guidance. Whether you’re navigating addiction, incarceration, or emotional setbacks, I provide tools to take ownership of your choices and design a future you believe in.

What I Offer

Structured, results-driven, and built for transformation. My coaching combines tested counseling frameworks with real-world wisdom. Clients walk away with more than goals they gain mindset shifts, strategic habits, and lasting momentum.

I specialize in working with:

  • Individuals in recovery or post-incarceration reintegration
  • Professionals facing major life or career transitions
  • People seeking clarity and confidence in decision-making
