Jenny Wylie Carlin specializes in helping individuals navigate depression, anxiety, trauma, alcohol use, and recovery-related challenges through a compassionate, nonjudgmental, and trauma-informed approach.

In my work with clients, I emphasize the power of self-expression as a path to greater self-awareness and healing. Expression plays a vital role in our everyday lives, especially when navigating through challenging experiences like grief and trauma. I approach therapy with a person-centered, trauma-informed, and strength-based perspective, meeting clients where they are and helping them make meaningful changes toward healing. As an Art Therapist, I have the ability to use creative techniques to assist with expression.

As Natalie Rogers said, "If a person feels accepted and understood, then healing occurred." I want my clients to know that I am always rooting for their success and will ride the wave with them as they overcome hardship. Whether you are facing a challenging transition period in your life, recovering from trauma, or struggling with mood disorders, I believe in the benefit of exploring our lived experiences through artistic reflection.

It’s wonderful you are doing this, right now, for you. Or maybe it’s for a loved one. Whatever brings you here, I imagine a desire for a change in your life guided you.
Maybe that change relates to ongoing patterns of negative thinking, unhappiness, overwhelming anxiety, depression, self-criticism, feeling stuck, or procrastination. Or maybe it is unmanaged stress, physical pain, poor sleep, difficulty in a relationship, or trauma from the past affecting life in the present.
Much of the time, change requires us to attend to our suffering, to actively engage with it. And that doesn't always sound pleasant, it takes courage.
