Carey Luker, LPC, LMHC
About me
I am a licensed therapist with more than 13 years' experience in helping people overcome life challenges. I am trained in Dialectical behavior therapy which has been shown to be effective for treating borderline personality disorder, bipolar disorder, anxiety, trauma, and codependency. I am also trained in CBT for anxiety/depression and Internal Family Systems therapy for trauma. I specialize in women's issues, depression, anxiety, adult ADHD, and trauma/PTSD for adults. I am trained in neurodivergent practices such as DBT for neurodivergent individuals. I understand your brain works differently so some traditional concepts will not be effective. I provide a non-judgmental relaxed environment that encompasses opportunity for personal growth. You are in control of your therapy experience and can go at your own pace. Any movement forward, no matter how small counts toward your bigger picture. I'm here to help you understand that you have basic human needs to and have a right to express those needs. It is important to me that my clients feel validated and safe when dealing with their problems. It is my ultimate goal to provide my clients with tools needed to cope with problems, grow spiritually, and gain confidence in their abilities.

Written on Jul 19, 2022 after therapy with Carey for 5 months on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, self esteem, and coping with life changes
I cannot express the ways this woman has changed my life. When we started, I had a LOT of negativity, shame, insecurities, and self hatred going on. Through her understanding and guidance, I now have two thriving relationships and friends! I actually have friends now and a good relationship with my mother! Carey is very smart at finding different perspectives to look at situations and will gently guide you the right way, even if you're impulsive with bad choices like I was! I could never thank her enough. My life is changed forever because of this woman!!!! Thank you!!!!
