Hi! My name is Kelly Carter and I am a licensed social worker in Maryland. I have experience working primarily with adolescents and young adults struggling with depression, anxiety, self-harm/suicidal ideation, mood disorders, history of trauma, and dysfunctional family relationships. I am trained and/or experienced in attachment-based family therapy (ABFT), eye-movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), and dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT). I help clients identify specific, yet realistic goals that match their vision of a life that is focused on thriving rather than surviving.
My person-centered clinical approach focuses on creating a warm, authentic therapeutic space that helps clients feel comfortable bringing every version of themselves to therapy. I tailor my therapeutic approach to the unique needs of each client while gently challenging them to do the work and make progress towards their personal goals.
Therapy isn’t meant to be comfortable because change isn’t comfortable; I’m here to help you find peace and progress in that discomfort. If you're looking for long-term change rather than a temporary band-aid, then you've come to the right place.
