Getting to know Carissa Bacon

I'm a licensed therapist who helps people navigate anxiety, burnout, relationship challenges, and the quiet feeling that something in their life is off. My goal is simple, which is to give you a space where you can finally exhale, be honest, and start feeling like yourself again. My focus I work with individuals navigating anxiety, depression, burnout, life transitions, and relationship struggles. Many of my clients are considered highly accomplished but inwardly feel overwhelmed, disconnected, or stuck. If you're holding a lot together and quietly struggling, I would love to walk with you as you navigate this journey. My approach I use a trauma-informed, relational approach, meaning I look at not just your symptoms but the deeper patterns and experiences shaping them. Drawing from CBT, attachment-based therapy, and identity work. I listen to you and tailor treatment since it is not a one-size-fits-all protocol. Healing happens in a relationship, and I take that seriously. My communication style I'm warm, real, and easy to talk to. I don't use a lot of clinical jargon or sit in silence waiting for you to figure it out. Sessions feel more like an honest, supportive conversation. I'll meet you where you are, ask thoughtful questions, and never make you feel judged for what you share.
