Life can be unexpected and overwhelming, and sometimes we find ourselves getting a bit lost along the way. Perhaps you have some added stressors, are in a time of transition, or just can’t seem to enjoy life to the fullest extent. This is an excellent opportunity to have some assistance. I provide counseling services to adults and adolescents and have a holistic approach to wellness. This means I believe that the mind and body are interconnected, and both need to be looked after to be the best version of ourselves. I use collaboration to help you create goals, set boundaries, and learn skills to facilitate healing and growth.

Have you ever felt ‘stuck’ and helpless? Have you experienced trouble connecting with others and yourself? Or maybe, you have been feeling unwanted and unlovable? I believe that we all reflect the cumulative impact of our past experiences and the experiences of generations before us. The way we approach challenges and relate to others and ourselves is inherently shaped by dynamics we experience within the society and families of origin we come from. Adverse experiences and traumas are a fact of life. It is the way we react to them determines the quality of life we live.

If you're seeking an active therapist who does more than just listen then we're probably a good match. I practice strategic goal-focused therapy. You can verify this by watching my videos, reading my book chapters online and reading about my PTSD work at: www.carycounseling.net. My two specialities are EMDR for PTSD and marriage counseling. I have published in both areas. The EMDR International Association has certified my competence and my theory on the psychophysiological basis for EMDR was published in the Journal of EMDR Practice & Research. My book "The Marriage First Aid Kit" has helped thousands of troubled marriages.

Everything you need to heal is already within you, and my work with you will help build motivation, awareness, confidence, and understanding that nurtures these strengths that exist, but are difficult to see when external and internal challenges are faced in life. Not everyone is the same and not one particular treatment model will be the best fit. Therefore, I will meet you where you are at on this journey towards healing, and provide quality of care that will be person centered and tailored to your specific needs. Some models that I do provide are ACT, CBT, mindfulness based therapy, and solutions focused.

With all of the changes recently occurring in our daily lives, feeling lost and uncertain about life is becoming a very real part of your reality. Looking at yourself today, you realize that you are a shell of what you once used to be. The happiness, joy, and fulfillment of life that you once knew has become a distant memory. So much so that you no longer recognize the person staring back at you in the mirror. As each day passes, the feelings of being "stuck" have taken hold and it seems likely that there is no hope in sight. It's almost like being stuck in a bad dream that you can't wake up from.

Is online therapy a good option?
Therapy conducted online can be just as effective as in-person therapy, as long as there is a strong alliance between the client and the therapist. To find a therapist who provides telehealth services to clients in your area, click “Online Therapy” on the directory homepage and search by your city or town or your zip code.
What’s the difference between a psychologist, a therapist, and a counselor?
Therapists, psychologists, and counselors are all licensed mental health professionals. In the US, psychologists have earned a doctoral degree. The terms “therapist” and “counselor” are used somewhat interchangeably, but generally therapists offer longer-term, mental health care, while counselors offer shorter-term care that may focus on one domain, such as marriage, career, or academic challenges.
What type of therapist is right for me?
Clients should consider factors such as insurance coverage and their primary reason(s) for seeking therapy to determine the type of professional best suited to their needs. Someone struggling with mental health challenges such as depression or anxiety, for example, may wish to seek out a clinical psychologist or therapist, while someone navigating career obstacles or marital upheaval may benefit from seeing a counselor who can offer short-term, targeted support.
Is everyone in the Psychology Today Therapy Directory a licensed therapist?
The Psychology Today directory lists providers who offer legitimate mental health services to the public, including psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and counselors. Many have been licensed by the country or state where they practice; providers whose license or primary credential has been verified by Psychology Today are signified by a “Verified” symbol. Some clinicians or organizations provide services for which their state or country does not offer licenses, such as pastoral counseling. They may be selectively included without the “Verified” seal.
What type of therapy is right for me?
The type of therapy best suited to a particular individual depends on several factors, including their primary reason for seeking therapy, their preferred timeline (some therapy types last for a set number of sessions, while others are open-ended), and their personality and preferences—some may prefer a more structured approach. For many individuals, multiple types of therapy could provide a good fit.
Is online therapy cheaper than in-person therapy?
Many therapists charge the same amount for online therapy as they do for in-person therapy—though clients may still find this cost-effective if it cuts down on their transportation costs. Health insurance plans often offer equivalent coverage for online and in-person therapy; indeed, in many places, they are legally required to do so. Text-based or on-demand therapy apps may be cheaper than traditional one-on-one psychotherapy; however, the practice may be less effective and is not likely to be covered by insurance.
