About Carl
As a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor with over 10 years in private practice, my focus has been on delivering evidence-based care through a host of different therapies that have been very successful. They include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Client-Centered Therapy, Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT), along with some beneficial Mindfulness Based techniques. I've been having some very good results recently with Stoic Philosophy and its therapeutic benefits. I've been a long time practitioner of Stoic Philosophy. I also have quite a bit of professional and personal experience in working with those who struggle with alcohol use and addiction, with the knowledge that addiction can also mean many things aside from drugs and alcohol. If something has taken a hold of your life where it's affecting your work life, family life, school life, I would understand and be able to provide some guidance. I prioritize empowering clients by providing empathetic, compassionate, goal-oriented counseling tailored to their unique needs. Collaborating with diverse populations, my mission is to enhance emotional resilience and promote sustainable well-being through practical, client-centered approaches. I used to do a little research project during intake assessments, where I'd ask hundreds of my clients, "So how long have you been thinking of seeing a therapist before you finally made the appointment?" The responses, most of the time, were that they had been thinking about seeing a therapist for years. Many said decades. And some said even longer than that! They just never took that final step of making that first appointment. It comes down to making that first appointment that holds many potential clients from coming in to see me or another therapist. Many times, the most difficult part of therapy is just this. Making that first appointment. If you're reading my bio right now, you have made great progress toward your goal. And I'd say most, if not all of the clients I referred to above said to me, "I wish I'd done it sooner." You may still be in this process of decision, but it is my honest belief that within the first 6 to 10 minutes of your beginning session, you will be glad you made the decision. Therapy is an amazing journey of discovery. And if I end up being your guide, well it will be my honor to join you on the journey! Read more Show less
