*I do not offer video or phone sessions on BetterHelp - Only text-based therapy* People ask me, "When is it time to see a therapist?" I don't know anyone who can say everything in their lives is going well all the time; we all have challenges from time to time, but you don't have to go through them alone. I'm here to help you use your strengths to keep what is going right, and help you find your strengths to fix when things are going wrong. I specialize in working with children, teens, young adults, and families. I bring warmth, empathy, and a touch of playfulness and creativity to my work. You can hear me speak more about my approach and counseling philosophy here: http://bit.ly/podcastdrjm I began specializing in family, children, and adolescent therapy ten years ago. I know parenting can be challenging, and I know that children and teens often need a different approach to therapy than adults. I earned my PhD through researching the ways in which social media impact well-being, and I use evidence based practices with all of my clients. I have advanced training in Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and I am an active researcher in how social media impacts our well-being. I have a PhD in Mental Health Counseling, completing my degree with a dissertation about Facebook's effect on mood and affect. I believe the best counseling relationships are built on trust and mutual respect, and are collaborative in nature. Therapy should be a safe place to explore difficult topics. If you are looking for a warm, genuine, and caring therapist, working with me may be a great fit. I look forward to our work together, contact me today and let's get started!

Hello! By looking into help opportunities, you've taken a big step toward making a life change. The next big step is finding the right person to work with you! I firmly believe anyone who wants to learn and grow, become healthier, or just cope with the day-to-day stressors of life can benefit from working with a well-matched therapist. In addition to being a clinically-trained, doctoral-level psychologist who has worked in a variety of settings (academic, correctional, community/business, and private practice), I'm also a wife, mom, church Worship Leader, and former secondary English teacher. My experiences have exposed me to many of the challenges and struggles life can bring, and it is my strong opinion that the happiest and most successful people are those who recognize when they need help, have the wisdom to look for it in the right places, and can balance the courage and humility it takes to accept it once they find it. Often the best support and advice can be found in trusted family members and/or friends. However, for most of us, challenges and struggles do arise from time to time for which we just need something different. I offer knowledge and skills along with objectivity, insight, and confidentiality to join with clients in their efforts to overcome challenges, find a sense of peace, and thrive. As mentioned above, I have worked with clients in a variety of settings, both outpatient and inpatient. Most of my work has been with adults and adolescents, though I do have some experience with pre-teens. At this time, I'm focusing my professional efforts on working with adults in individual therapy, but I am comfortable working on relationship, family, and/or parenting issues in that context. I've successfully treated clients presenting with a diversity of issues, including emotional and behavioral problems and disorders, personality disorders, relationship difficulties, school and work issues, adjustment difficulties, and addiction-related problems. Meeting my clients where they are with respect, empathy, and compassion is my overarching goal. I have a Christian worldview which is foundational to everything I do, personally and professionally. This worldview undergirds my cognitive-behavioral orientation, and I am comfortable incorporating techniques from other theoretical approaches to help my clients develop, progress, and achieve healthy goals. I have had success and enjoy working with individuals from all walks of life, so if my background and approach sound like they might meet your needs, contact me. * Important Information I am a PsyPact credentialed provider.

Hi there, I'm Carrie! When working with clients I like to use a very laid back approach, as to make them more comfortable. I like to use humor and let the client feel comfortable giving me feedback as to what approach they feel most comfortable with so they do not see therapy as a "task", yet something they enjoy. My approach My therapeutic approach differs depending on the client and their needs. I like to create a very comfortable environment for clients to find enjoyment in their sessions. My focus I have a vast history working with trauma, PTSD, depression, anxiety, as well as conflict resolution. I have many years of experience working with children and adults whether it be individual counseling, family counseling, or couples counseling. My communication style My therapeutic approach differs depending on the client and their needs. I like to create a very comfortable environment for clients to find enjoyment in their sessions. I like to have a very laid back approach that does not feel like "therapy". My journey to mental healthcare I became a therapist after life long dream to be a prosecutor. In doing much research, I felt that I would be more helpful to people providing therapy, rather than seeking justice that to me did not feel would actually support someone who was not a statistic, yet a person with very real feelings that were not validated or even considered. I love helping people. I truly enjoy (although often sad) when a client no longer needs me. Throughout my education and career I have many clients who I feel taught me more than I could ever teach them through therapy. My goals for you Depending on the client, I have many approaches to goal setting. It is very important that my clients take part in their goal setting, in addition to where each goal is most important to my clients. My first session with you First sessions are a "getting to know you" session. The first session sets the tone for a future therapeutic relationship. It is during this session I like to learn about not only the reason for the client attending therapy, but them as a person, including interests, things that could potentially upset in order to not hinder their progress, and their comfort level about taking the step to attend therapy. I also like to give my clients an opportunity to "interview" me, ask questions about me within ethical limits, and often try to find something we may have in common that could aid in reaching their therapy goals.
