Getting to know Azia Carter
As a licensed marriage and family therapist with a Master's in Marriage and Family Therapy from Long Island University and a Bachelor's from the University of Hartford, I believe healthy and meaningful relationships are key to happiness and stability in life. Seeking help can be one of the hardest parts, so congratulations on taking that step! I've been practicing for about 3 years and currently focus on helping individuals, couples, and families who are struggling with relationship distress, anxiety, depression, and life transitions.
What should a new client know about working with you?
Everyone has a unique story and deserves an individualized approach to care. Once we decide to work together, we’ll collaborate in your therapeutic journey to achieve your desired goals. It’s important to me that we communicate openly and you feel heard, valued, and seen in our relationship. I’ll be there to listen to you, challenge you, and support you along the way when things get difficult.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
I always start with an introductory session, where you’ll have the opportunity to share your story and what you hope to achieve in therapy. I strive to create a warm, nonjudgmental environment that allows you to feel comfortable sharing and being vulnerable, while also feeling secure. From there, we’ll work together in the following sessions to make your goals a reality.

Having Azia as a therapist has completely changed my life. She created a safe space where I felt comfortable opening up to her. Azia allowed me to feel through my emotions without judgment and guided me through them to find the root cause while also assisting with healthy healing resolutions. I have had other therapists in the past, but none like her.
Azia being a black woman is also a plus to me because she can understand certain struggles that are unique to being a black woman. Azia thank you for your empathy, professionalism, and knowledge. You have had such a positive impact on my life.

My therapist Azia will by far forever be my favorite therapist. She is able to help me self reflect and keep strong on my boundaries. Throughout my sessions I have noticed that I have been growing to be the best version of myself.
I have looked forward to each session as she provides me a safe place to speak about everything going on.
I do not always have to speak about my emotions as my therapist is always ready to listen.
I would love to share my therapist with everyone as long as I keep my weekly sessions.

I couldn’t be more grateful for Azia’s support. She is incredibly attentive and takes the time to truly listen and understand my concerns. What sets her apart is how resourceful she is—always offering practical tools and strategies that have made a real difference in my life. She’s also proactive, constantly looking for ways to improve our sessions, whether it’s by introducing new techniques or adapting her approach to meet my evolving needs. I always feel heard and empowered after our conversations. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a therapist who genuinely cares about their progress and well-being.

My sessions with Azia have become a key part of my mental health practices. Speaking with her has allowed me to unpack years of experience and find a way to move forward. I feel lighter after our conversations. She listens with an open mind, but is also unafraid to challenge you to look deeper or from a different perspective. I was also very intentional about finding a woman of color therapist and I believe Azia's personal experiences help her understand my own. I would highly recommend her and her services!

I've worked with Azia for several years now, and she's helped me and my mental health more than I can express. Her calm and engaging demeanor immediately made me feel comfortable, which, after many negative or unhelpful experiences with therapists, was no easy feat. She approaches each conversation with openness and empathy, often asking if I feel like a particular approach might be helpful and connecting them to prior methods that worked. I cannot thank her enough for how much she's helped me in all areas of my life.

As someone that has been in and out therapy for almost 10 years, it’s been hard to find a therapist that has really connected with me. Starting sessions with Azia has been one of the best choices I have ever made. She Provides a comfortable environment for you to open up and share whatever is on your mind. I highly recommend her to anyone starting or continuing their therapy journey.

I’ve been seeing Azia for months now, and her empathetic approach and insightful guidance have been incredibly helpful. She knows just when to encourage me to step out of my comfort zone while also allowing me to progress at my own pace, never pushing me if I’m not ready. I have loved having her as my therapist
