Hello! My name is Keryl (Carol), and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 10 years of clinical experience. I am most comfortable working with clients who want something to change. It can be communication, depression, anxiety, relationships, career development, caregiver responsibilities, or even grief, but my primary goal is to help you reach the change that you want and to process what isn't working. I use a lot of client centered therapy, solution focused therapy, and quite often even use grief and bereavement therapy as it relates to loss of function, loss of expectations, loss of loved ones, and loss of a plan.

I am working with both adolescents and adults. My theoretical orientation to counseling and psychotherapy is rooted in the philosophy of a humanistic-existential approach to human functioning. I use the tenets of individual responsibility to choice and decision-making and apply them within a cognitive-behavioral perspective (CBT) to counseling and clinical work. I consider myself a generalist with specialty training in cognitive rehabilitation, vocational/ career counseling , as well as psychoeducational testing and other evaluations, such as pre-surgical evaluations (e.g., for bariatric procedures).

I assure you the strength and ability you will use is already residing in you.
