Getting to know Carol Stilson

Hello, I'm Carol. Are you ready to make some positive changes in your life? Join me, and together we will begin to explore areas of your life that are causing you to feel trapped. As an Acceptance and Commitment Therapist (ACT), I focus on helping you develop a new understanding of yourself so you can begin to make meaningful changes. You don't have to remain trapped in emotional pain. I can help you train your brain to regain control of those racing thoughts and bring some peace into your mind. "The more you struggle, the deeper you sink. To survive quicksand, you must be still. And to escape life's inevitable suffering, you must quit fighting AGAINST your pain so you can focus on getting THROUGH IT." - Steven Hayes, Ph.D., "Get Out of Your Mind and Into Your Life" While I incorporate supportive therapy into my sessions, I also push for change and encourage you to stretch yourself outside your comfort zone. The only way things will change in your life is once you are willing to open yourself up to trying out new thought patterns, behaviors, and expectations for yourself - and for others. I am a firm believer that nothing changes without changes. I will act as your coach, guiding you to work through your inner pain and mental issues to find the peace you deserve. We will use the natural thought processes of your mind to help you process and solve your problems. I also use EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) treatment for traumatic memories. This is an evidence- and research-backed form of treatment that uses your mind to heal your pain. Pain and nonacceptance equals suffering. There is another way. I arrived late to being a therapist, choosing to wait until I had gained some wisdom before starting this journey. I am not your traditional therapist in that I want to help you find solutions and inspire you to believe that change is possible.
