Getting to know Stephen Carson

My clinical background includes inpatient treatment, crisis counseling, trauma counseling, and person-centered therapy. My general approach is working with the whole person—physically, mentally, and spiritually. My goal is to have a gentle, attachment-based, and trauma-sensitive style. My experience includes working with adults, families, and teenagers.

What should a new client know about working with you?

My goal is to provide a safe and respectful space where we can build a therapeutic relationship. As the client expresses readiness, my goal is to help them realize and verbalize their desired path to health.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

My overall goal is for clients to feel safe. Generally, my approach is to be as transparent, open, and as gentle as possible so that my clients have complete agency over their journey. I would prefer clients to be as honest with themselves and me so that we can quickly identify the best path forward - even if this means finding another therapist that may be a better fit.
