Getting to know Carrie Hunter

Hi there, I'm Carrie! It’s hard carrying the weight of feeling like you’re never quite enough. Whether you're overwhelmed by anxiety, stuck in self-doubt, or trying to hold it all together, I offer a space where you don’t have to do it alone. I work with young adults and adults navigating life transitions, self-criticism, and anxiety, using a compassionate, non-judgmental approach that helps you reconnect with your sense of worth and inner calm. If you’re looking for a space to be met with kindness, curiosity, and care, I’d be honored to walk alongside you. My approach My approach is grounded in compassion and authenticity. I believe therapy should feel like a conversation where you can be yourself without pressure, judgment, or having to “perform.” I take a person-centered, non-directive approach, meeting you where you are and moving at a pace that feels safe. Together, we’ll explore what’s weighing on you, get curious about patterns keeping you stuck, and gently work toward healing and clarity. I often incorporate tools from compassion-focused therapy to help quiet the inner critic and build a more caring relationship with yourself. If you're struggling with anxiety, life transitions, or feeling not good enough, our work will center on understanding your experience and helping you feel grounded, empowered, and connected to your values. We’ll adjust sessions based on what you need—whether space to process, learn new tools, or simply be heard. My focus You're someone who’s always been there for everyone else, but when it comes to your own needs, you tend to push them aside. Maybe you find yourself stuck in overthinking, feeling never quite good enough, or wondering if others can really see you. You might be navigating a big life shift or managing the quiet (or not-so-quiet) anxiety that shows up day after day. I hold a Master’s in Social Work from Stony Brook University, equipping me with the skills and knowledge to support you with empathy and expertise.
