Remodeling ourselves often involves getting rid of negative thoughts, limiting beliefs, and trauma that hold you back. What baggage do you need to unpack and be free of?

As a seasoned Psychotherapist, Certified Brainspotter, ADHD Coach and Wellness Coach, it’s my honor to be with you on your Best Self Journey. With decades of experience, I am here to guide you, hold a safe space for your true self to be seen, heard, regulated, and attuned to. Remodel your brain and regulate your nervous system - it’s never too late. I invite you to join me and take the first step into being your Best Self.

I help survivors of both complex and single-incident trauma. Depending on our interpretation of experienced traumatic events, we are likely to feel ashamed, powerless, misunderstood, broken, and isolated. We try to numb our pain with substances, eating disorders, self-harm, or super-achieving. I rely on my strong background in mindfulness meditation, EMDR Therapy, Internal Family Systems Therapy, and Attachment-Based Therapy to treat symptoms of PTSD and the effects of trauma and to help clients reconnect with themselves and their loved ones.

You want to be your best self, but not sure exactly what that is or how to get there. You’re afraid to do the wrong things at times and do nothing as a result. When you and your partner talk about your relationship you mean well, but say the wrong things or it comes out the wrong way. Falling short on friendships, dating and your career and you’re not sure why. You need clarity and a plan of action, but turning to friends or family doesn’t feel like the way to go. Clients come to me to identify and change thought and relational patterns that are no longer helping them achieve their goals or prevent them from feeling good about themselves and their lives. I work with people in an interactive and collaborative way to identify these patterns and change them in a way that is more in line with their goals and values. My demeanor is grounded and approachable which enables people to feel comfortable working through what has brought them to my office. My ability to empathize, be patient and inject humor when appropriate helps helps me connect with people and makes therapy a positive, rewarding and real experience. Working with me will help you begin to feel less overwhelmed and more in control. You’ll stop holding yourself back and start liking who you are in the world. You’ll begin to get out of your head and into your life so that the life you want feels achievable. Offering some weekend, evening and online sessions I make it easy to fit therapy into your hectic life. Check out my website and contact me to set up an initial consultation today

Best descriptions of what I do are what my colleagues and more importantly, what my former and current clients say about their experiences with my work. Please just Google me and see what shows up (both positive and negative). What shows up when I look on-line is: 1) people think I'm really good at figuring out what can help and 2) I'm really good at helping them feel better again. I use a range of options (you choose what we do) and I usually know other specialists who can pitch in also to get you better the fastest (again, I just suggest -- you choose what sounds best for you).

What is Integral Recovery for Addictions? As human beings, we are creatures of habit. This can be a good thing. Good habits provide stability, consistency, and the stamina to achieve certain goals. But too often, habits become addictions. Our behaviors no longer serve us, and we get locked into a destructive pattern that harms ourselves and others. We are stuck, enslaved in chains of our own making, stifled from finding our true selves, from achieving our innate potentials, and manifesting our gifts to the world. Integral Recovery is much more than just the abstinence or reduction of addictive behaviors. In Re-covery, we Un-cover and Dis-cover who we really are in all our dimensions, and when freed from the unhealthy habits, we start to grow again. For almost 25 years, I have had success with people who have a variety of addictions, from the kinds that misuse chemicals from the outside (drugs and alcohol) to the ones that stem from the chemicals already inside the brain (sex and love addiction, abandonment patterns, sexual compulsions, gambling, internet, work, etc.). I have a passion for Recovery and love seeing the light in people's eyes brighten as they leave destructive patterns behind and embrace an enriching and fulfilling life that has always been theirs. We may also traverse issues of anxiety, depression, and experiences of trauma as a natural part of healing from addiction. We unhook from parts of the past and addictive pain tapes that also prevent us from moving forward and being happy in our present and our future. We can work from abstinence-based or harm reductionist strategies, depending upon your aim. I am a South Bronx native who has collaborated with a diverse range of people without shame or judgement, from teens to elders, traditional to alternative sexualities, socio-economic levels "from jail to Yale," spiritualities, and many cultures and sub-cultures. It would be an honor to connect with you and make your new life a reality.

Therapy isn't just skill, or compassion, or strategies. It's the intimate process of thinking, speaking and listening together in ways that are creative and heartfelt, and provide insight and release from the myriad varieties of mental pain. As we sit together, we are finding out how to trust each other. Through conversation, meditative inquiry, imaginative play, and sometimes just being together quietly, we are creating the environment that allows you to work through past sorrows and losses that hold you hostage to hurtful and stagnant beliefs about yourself and the world. As we work together, you will find that you want to, and can, open yourself to what is new and hopeful; that you are curious and excited, rather than confused and resigned. Our work is supported by the depth of the relationship we create between us. It is particular to who you are and what you need. I will help you to develop your trust, your spontaneity, and your creativity in ways that are right for you. Some of our work will be hard, and some will be fun. It will all rest on the bedrock of the relationship we create between us. Another way of thinking about this work is that it is about learning how to create better relationships.

Hello, I’m Carter, a somatic therapist committed to helping teens and adults navigate life’s challenges by fostering self-awareness, healing, and emotional resilience. I specialize in supporting individuals dealing with attention-deficit hyperactivity (ADHD), anxiety, panic, grief, loss, and significant life transitions. My practice combines body awareness, creative arts therapy, and sensorimotor psychotherapy, providing a holistic, trauma-informed approach to healing. I create a safe, sensory-sensitive environment that encourages clients to slow down, tune into their bodies, and identify how emotions are held and expressed physically. Through this process, we uncover pathways to self-understanding and growth. I work closely with clients to help them recognize and process their emotions, giving voice to different parts of themselves and fostering a sense of self-worth through practices like inner child work, self-parenting, and parts work. What I value most about the individuals I work with is their courage and willingness to engage in this transformative process. My therapeutic approach is designed to help clients cultivate self-acceptance and embrace all parts of themselves. By naming and understanding these different internal experiences, clients can develop a more compassionate relationship with themselves, reinforcing their sense of identity and self-worth. Drawing on my background in vocal production, I also integrate creative, body-based tools that support nervous system regulation and emotional exploration. These methods help clients find authentic expression and clarity in communicating their needs and emotions. Whether it’s through breathwork, movement, or sound, each tool serves as a resource to support emotional healing and personal growth. In addition, I incorporate spiritual and nature-based practices, providing an earth-centered perspective that deepens the connection between mind, body, and the natural world. These practices are particularly effective in grounding clients and enhancing their connection to self and others. I am dedicated to empowering clients to not only manage their challenges but also to embrace their unique strengths, develop resilience, and thrive in their personal lives. My mission is to support individuals on a journey toward self-acceptance, self-expression, and holistic well-being. Sessions are available in person and virtually. If you are ready to explore new pathways toward healing and empowerment, I invite you to reach out.

Licensed and trained as a clinical psychologist and a Marriage Family Therapist, I have worked with both individuals and couples for over forty years. My approach is collaborative, helping develop insight into unconsciously held beliefs as well as generating strategies to cope with the stresses and challenges of life. I have an interest in both long and brief psychotherapy, depression, the anxiety spectrum, graduate student population, and relationship issues.

Welcome, I am a licensed psychotherapist with professional and clinical experience working with individuals, families, couples, and groups from various types of backgrounds and facing different challenges, each unique as the individual(s) in front of me. I specialize in deep psychological work, looking for the root causes, using the presenting symptoms as guides to what is originating and causing your ailment. We will tend to the immediate distress while developing tools to manage future distress and keeping it within a tolerable level of discomfort. I believe we are whole beings who have become fragmented by life occurrences and are finding our way back to that wholeness. I am here to assist you in your process. Whether you are looking for your next step, wanting to step into your full potential, heal past personal/generational wounds, better your relationship with yourself and with others, find peace in your day-to-day life, or having deep questions about who you are and what you like, I offer you my training, presence, and deep compassion in support of your growth, development, and transformation.

Over the past 10 years, I have used my clinical training to help individuals, couples, and families untangle the scary, messy, and upsetting parts of their lives. I enjoy empowering individuals to heal from a trauma-informed lens and learn healthy strategies for engaging in relationships with self and others. As an EMDR trained clinician I utilize this approach to assist clients in processing and heal emotional distress associated with traumatic experiences. EMDR utilizes the engagement in bilateral stimulation and particular focus on specific experiences which has been known to engage the brain's healing mechanisms. EMDR has been found to be helpful for individuals struggling with anxiety, depression, PTSD, and developmental traumas. I am currently accepting telehealth-only clients for individuals who reside in the states of California, the District of Columbia, and Maryland. You are welcome to email or call me to schedule your free 15-minute consultation to discuss current needs and explore if therapy with my practice is a good fit.

Are you beginning to think you have a problem with alcohol or other drugs? Are your friends and family members concerned? Have you experienced painful consequences due to drinking or drug use? You may be confused wondering which step to take next. Many people manage painful feelings by using drugs and alcohol; thinking about stopping can feel overwhelming. Others want to consider harm reduction before sobriety. Maybe you're in-recovery already and seeking a therapist knowledgeable about addictions. I'm a substance abuse specialist, as well as a licensed Marriage Family Therapist. I've worked with people struggling with alcohol and drug use and their friends and family members for over twenty-five years. It's painful to struggle with an addiction. It can cause isolation from loved ones, depression and anxiety. You need support to explore your thoughts and feelings in order to make informed decisions. I provide a safe, compassionate, non-judgemental space to help you explore what works best for you. I work interactively and collaboratively, I take into consideration the past as it effects the present. I tailor my work to your needs, together we'll explore your life at your pace. I believe each person has the capacity for growth and healing and I have respect and compassion for all the difficult places we find ourselves in.

Ultimately, I’m passionate about supporting you. You choose what intrinsic and extrinsic life experiences you'd prefer to have. Tell me what's not working in your life, what emotions you wish to no longer feel, and what behaviors you'd like to no longer repeat. We'll target, identify & dismantle the cycles that create and maintain those unwanted patterns. We'll create the direction, motivation and progress that allows you to build the external outcomes you'd like to reach, as well as the emotions you want to consistently feel. I'm very assertive in my therapeutic process. I hold my clients accountable and point out patterns that create and maintain unwanted habits, thoughts, emotions, behaviors or outcomes. I have a very goal oriented approach to therapy, I place a higher value on creating measurable progress as opposed to spending extended time deeply developing insight around the past.
