I am an international therapist and have worked in the mental health field for over nineteen years and have been a licensed mental health counselor and Doctor of Clinical Psychology for eleven years. Additionally, I have collaborated with clients of all ages, cultures, Nationalities and from all social classes dealing with a wide range of issues.
My experience is vast as I have worked with the following: neuro-psychiatric, suicidal ideation/attempts, LGBTQIA, PTSD, anger management, grief/loss, trauma, abuse, relationship issues, school counseling, juvenile justice, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, borderline personality disorder, depression, personality disorders, domestic violence, crisis intervention, codependency, and group/family/individual therapy.
Moreover, I work with clients to formulate and modify realistic, individualized treatment goals. I will track your improvement and identify either an increase or decrease of desired feelings, behaviors, and thoughts.
My therapeutic approach is wholistic and multi-theoretical. I utilize an amalgamation of approaches which are psychodynamic, dialectical behavioral, cognitive behavioral, solution-focused, rational-emotive, existential, client-centered, Jungian, mindfulness and motivational.
Furthermore, my therapy style is warm, inviting, non-judgmental, honest, and always confidential. I treat everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. Encouraging dialogue and reflective thinking is paramount in my sessions.
You have done yourself a great service by seeking help! We all need help in life and deserve a listening ear and undivided attention. I would love to be your therapist and together, we will manifest amazing results!

Dr. Carter is one of the best therapists I have ever had. She’s actually taken the time to understand my upbringing and help me work through trauma.
She’s been an amazing support especially during times where I had nobody to count on. She truly cares about her patients and it really shines through. I’ve never had a therapist like this. Someone who 100% actually cares about my well-being and finds ways to help

Working with Dr Carter in the latter half of 2021 was a revelation. Dr Carter was a supportive and informed ear to listen and prompted my own self discovery. I would recommend working with her for anyone who identifies as LGBT and especially as POC. Her insights were invaluable and helped me to overcome a very difficult period. Thank you Dr Carter for your support.

If you are looking for someone who will listen to you, help you see your problems as they are and give you concrete, realistic ways to work through them, Dr. Carter is that person. When I discovered BetterHelp, I needed help to break out of a pattern of negative self-talk and avoidance of my problems. I didn't need positive affirmations or a cheerleader, which was what I had gotten with other therapists before. I was at a low point and Dr. Carter was able to help me through it so that I could function and see that it was not a lost cause. She understood my problems and what I wanted to accomplish through therapy. She helped me see where my patterns began and how I keep falling back into them. She continues to help me reframe and re-condition my thinking to break out of my negative patterns and I'm so grateful for her. I highly recommend Dr. Carter for her professionalism, empathy and expertise.

Dr carter is great. She is thoughtful and a great listener. I don’t feel like she is judge mental but listens and holds me accountable. She listens with full attention and takes good notes that she later will revisit with me. She is quick to respond and very kind. Highly recommend her :)

Dr Carter is so amazing. I’ve had anxiety for years and years and with just a few sessions I was learning things about myself and how to change my thinking and behaviors that better suited me so I can live without anxious worries. Dr Carter is very welcoming, non-judgemental and truly cares about you as a person and your therapist. She’s seen me cry and just let the tears flow while I got some things off my chest and not once did I feel shame or embarrassment, I know she has my back!

Love Jeralyn as my counselor. She is easy to trust and extremely approachable with my concerns. I feel she genuinely cares as more than just a counselor but more so a person.
