Getting to know Kathryn Carter

I am a trauma and addictions counselor who helps teenagers and adults recover from obstacles in their life and regain confidence, connection, and stability at home, school, work, and with family. Life happens to everyone, and then the question becomes, where do I go from here? How do I move on? Or situations and events have been avoided, telling yourself you are okay, now realizing it is not okay and you need help, guidance, and someone to talk to. Let's talk; I am here to listen, guide, and show you that you already have the answers. You have the power to make changes within yourself. My ideal client is someone who is at a crossroads and ready to explore and look for change. I enjoy working with clients to help them recognize their strengths. I am a compassionate clinician who believes in self-determination and autonomy. I provide mental health and chemical dependency assessments, treatment planning, and individual and group counseling via telehealth and in person. I take a client-centered approach, guiding clients to show self-compassion and empowering them for change. I assist clients in identifying their life stressors, reflecting on self-awareness, and enhancing healthy coping skills. I am trained in various modalities-MI, CBT, sand tray, and EMDR-to work through the challenging areas of substance abuse, depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, and more. I am a creative, results-oriented, and passionate therapist with over 25 years of experience in social work and mental health services. I specialize in working with teens, adults, and families who have multiple or complex diagnoses, addiction, and trauma. I also focus on recovery and harm reduction. I have extensive training in sand tray, chemical dependency, trauma, and social work and am a Certified Trauma Professional, Licensed Chemical Dependency Counselor, Sand Tray Certified, and EMDR trained. I hold a Master's in Social Work from Walden University.

What should a new client know about working with you?

I specialize in working with teens and adults struggling with trauma, mood disorders, or substance use such as alcohol or drugs. Clients come to me looking for a therapist who deeply understand their unique pain points. I believe therapy should be a place where you feel empowered, safe, and seen. Sessions incorporate skill building and harm reduction.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

Trauma and PTSD leaves us feeling broken, damaged, and disconnected from our true selves. It also often leads us to self-medicate with alcohol, drugs, or other substances. You're someone who takes care of others, but still finding yourself falling short, feeling exhausted and unsure what to do. You work hard and thrive in many areas of your life, yet peace escapes you, you feel empty and sometimes hopeless. But you are ready to make a change. You're ready to feel empowered and hopeful. You're ready to work hard and take your life back. My extensive training in trauma, EMDR and substance abuse will help you heal!
