I also have experience providing sensitive and trauma-informed care to people with PTSD,
autism
, ADHD, depression, anxiety, etc.
Therapy can be a powerful tool in deepening relationships, moving through pain, understanding the unknown, and tolerating discomfort. My therapeutic work is rooted in guiding clients to realize their own potential. I develop an empathic, therapeutic relationship with my clients to generate self-directed change. Through meeting you where you are, and helping you see parts of yourself that may feel inaccessible, we can move towards you living life the way you want to.

I am knowledgable about
Autism
Spectrum Disorder and how it can impact individuals and families and some of the resources that are available.
Thank you for viewing my profile. We live in tense and uncertain times and it's easy to get charged up and react in ways that maybe we shouldn't have. Part of my work is to help individuals and couples reduce emotional reactivity that may be causing problems. I often help people examine thoughts and misperceptions that color the way that we see the world and that effect our relationships. Did you grow up during the Cold War era? Are today's occurances in Europe triggering anxieties that you thought were long past and gone for good? You are not alone.

Dr. Kathleen Carroll-Wray
Psychologist, PsyD

While many of my clients have primary curiosities involving traumas,
autism
, ADHD and learning problems, therapy often focuses on anxiety that may be escalating symptoms; family stress/conflict; and other natural biproducts of neurodiversity.
I love working with children, adolescents and young women who have "behavioral problems," "worry too much," have "big emotions," or struggle socially. My clients typically experience more of the world and feel the world more deeply than others. While this can be scary and lead to challenging behaviors, over time, a big heart is a super-power. Parents who come to my office often wonder: a) "will this help?" b) "will you understand my child?" and "c) if you understand my kid, will you then judge me?" My answers are a) "yes. It can even be fun" b) "that's my main goal" c) "not a chance."

Assessment experience in
Autism
Spectrum Disorder, ADHD, Pediatric Neuropsychology, Dementia and related neurocognitive disorders.
My goal is to help families and individuals in crisis. I have 3 areas of passion. First, I love working with children, teenagers, and their parents. Children were the reason I decided to seek a career in psychology. My second area of passion is working with my clients to rewire their brains and change emotional reactions. I integrate mindfulness, coping and self-soothing skills, and other tools in both individual adult and adolescent therapy. Finally, I enjoy neuropsychological and psychological assessments, viewing each one as a puzzle and I put my full effort into understanding the final outcome and treatment recommendations.

Teletherapy
Teletherapy and Online counseling have grown enormously as a medium for therapy since the advent of social distancing. Most therapists are happy to provide sessions by video or phone.
All professionals are licensed to provide video therapy to clients within the State in which they hold their license. Cross State licensing exists, but is rare.
So if you're a client in California, this list of teletherapists are licensed to provide therapy to you online (by phone, video or text based chat) because they are within your state. They are sorted nearest to furthest, with professionals in California listed first.
Teletherapy via phone or video can be very similar to conventional in person sessions. The message is the same, even if the medium is different. There are some advantages in the form of convenience, lack of travel and being in comfort of your own home. Set against those, professionals find it more difficult to read non-verbal signals of their clients, and you may find you yourself can be more easily distracted.
