My Services

Family Counseling

Family Counseling
Everyone experiences relationship difficulties. Understanding how you feel about your partner is one of the confusing aspects of relationships. Some couples enter therapy knowing they want to stay together and work through their difficulties, while others are uncertain whether they want to remain in their relationship. Setting aside a weekly time and place for you and your partner to express your thoughts and feelings can help you and your partner chart a course in the desired direction. In couples counseling, a counselor can serve as a guide by casting light on aspects of your relationship that you may not be aware of and providing an objective outside perspective.

Relationship Counseling

Relationship Counseling
A significant advantage of couples counseling is that you can begin to comprehend your relationship dynamics. Who has the authority? Is it in harmony? Do you lapse into specific (negative) communication patterns? Are there a few common grounds of contention that you frequently disagree on? How do you resolve disputes? Examining the answers to these questions and beginning to recognize patterns in your relationship — both in good and difficult times — can be crucial for mending and strengthening your relationship.

Depression Counseling

Depression Counseling
Although there are several distinct types of depression, most are effectively treated with the help of a depression counseling therapist, medication, or a combination of the two. There are also natural treatments that can be used in conjunction with counseling and/or medication under the supervision of a physician. It is essential to discuss your treatment options with your physician. This counseling occurs under the supervision of a professional and frequently yields excellent results.

Grief Counseling

Grief Counseling
Therapists are taught to be active, nonjudgmental listeners. Therefore, it is their responsibility to establish an environment where you can freely express your feelings without fear of what others may think. They can reassure you that whatever you are experiencing is normal and acceptable. It is of the utmost importance to employ healthy coping mechanisms when going through a challenging life experience such as the bereavement process. A therapist can assist you in identifying personalized strategies similar to these.

Conflict Resolution

Conflict Resolution
After a problem has been resolved, conflict resolution can help bring individuals together. One of the most essential aspects of conflict resolution is deciding to attack problems as a team, rather than individually. This method is a smart approach to strengthen each party's commitment to the process and prevent increased defensiveness. Conflict can be destructive, but it can also indicate a deep commitment and emotional attachment. By working with these emotions, each party can obtain a deeper understanding of the other person's goals, which will result in greater commitment and loyalty in the future. 

The Benefits

A disagreement with your partner can either strengthen or weaken your relationship. People frequently seek couples counseling because they are struggling to address issues that have arisen as their relationship has progressed. For some, this may pertain to family planning, while for others, it may pertain to communication manner. Having a private space to discuss these issues can accelerate the growth of your relationship by emphasizing and understanding both perspectives and determining whether your beliefs are compatible.

Carolyn is an amazing therapist who is empathetic with a huge heart. There are no words to express my gratitude for her being a guiding light after being blind sighted by my husband of 28 years of marriage. She helped me process the stages of grief while going through my divorce. Carolyn helped me piece together the fragmented pieces of myself. She provided a safe space for me to express my feelings while working through my emotions. I always felt seen & heard and am eternally grateful! With heartfelt gratitude, Tricia

Carolyn has been absolutely amazing. After my father passed I made an appointment and my first session with her went really well. In my experience Carolyn is very empathetic, I feel like she not only is listening to me but understans my needs as well. I have had sessions in person and online and have had wonderful experiences. Carolyn has been such an integral part of my recovery process I recommend her if you are seeking a therapist that is not only caring and compassionate but professional as well.

I found Carolyn after being hit by an emotional bus -- unexpected, incredibly painful. She helped me hold steady while I pieced my life back together. I recommend her to anyone in extremis -- don't suffer alone!

I truly thank God that I had Carolyn as a counselor in going through a heartbreaking sudden break up of my marriage and subsequent divorce. I was buried in grief and depression and just plain lost. She helped me sort through my feelings, was very insightful and open, and I can't thank her enough! She really CARES about each of her clients, and works very hard to help them. Amazing depression counseling, recommended !
