Cognitive Behavioral (CBT) Therapists in Carmel, IN

Hi! My name is Carrie. I have been working in the mental health field for over 10 years. As a licensed mental health counselor my experience ranges from addiction to other mental health issues. I am a mom of two kids and was born and raised in Indiana. I have worked with all ages of individuals to help them improve their lives and mental well-being. I specialize in serving individuals in the LGBTQIA+ community and individuals working to overcome addiction.

It's uncomfortable to reach out for help, to reveal our pain and personal matters to anyone, let alone a stranger. This is why my priority is creating a safe, judgment free space to build a genuine connection with my clients. In addition to developing strategies to relieve immediate distress, I apply my 15 years in mental health, from home-based to hospital crisis work, to help you identify the reasons behind your struggles and resolve the underlying causes. This provides the framework for positive growth and a deeper understanding of oneself, for lasting results.

I am a licensed clinical social worker with over 13 years experience working within the school social work capacity. I also have previous experience working within a clinical setting as well as having served as a volunteer for a nonprofit organization providing support to grieving children who experienced the loss of a loved one. I am experienced in working with school-aged children who may be affected by ADHD, anxiety, depression, trauma, life changes, grief and loss, mood, and divorce issues. I am also a wife and mother, therefore I feel that I have a greater understanding of challenges and stresses which may impact families.

When we experience a lot of things like anxiety, depression, or a traumatic event, these things do tend to weigh us down and keep us from living the life we truly want. Although we want to see ourselves at our best, we may be ignoring the issues that are keeping us from that reality altogether. Therapy helps us work through those subconscious road blocks that are affecting us even in the most subtle ways. By using different modalities such as Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy or Trauma-Focused therapy, I collaborate with clients and couples by working through the blind spots of our mind together.

Move past the challenges in your life, and experience greater calm, confidence and joy. Whether you are seeking counseling to cope with feeling anxious or depressed, or want help with grief, trauma, parenting, or relationship issues, I provide a safe and welcoming place for you. My approach is grounded in family systems, and I am a Certified Brainspotting Therapist. My work combines strategies from cognitive behavioral therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, and mindfulness to create lasting change.

My approach to therapy starts with creating a safe environment where clients feel comfortable. I incorporate empathy, warmth, collaboration, and genuineness to build trust and establish a strong therapeutic relationship. I use a flexible, integrative approach to meet the unique needs of each client where they are by combining various aspects of CBT, DBT, and MI.

I work with teens, adults, couples, and families experiencing a variety of issues including anxiety, depression, relationship conflict, grief, and life transitions. Using a trauma-informed, person-centered, and attachment-based framework, I provide unconditional acceptance as clients explore the significance of their own story. My counseling approach integrates Narrative Therapy, Polyvagal Theory, CBT, parts work, mindfulness techniques, and other experiential tools to foster growth and self-compassion. I am also trained in Brainspotting, which helps clients process emotions and heal from trauma.

I believe one of the bravest things you can do is begin to understand your own story. Your story is much more than surface level and you get to choose what defines you. There comes a time in life where we find ourselves longing for change, whether that be with life transitions, mental health such as anxiety or depression, relationships, self-esteem, past experiences or trauma, or what to do next. With that, my question as your therapist would be “how can I help?” I have a passion for mental health and look forward to providing care to a wide range of ages and stressors.

I see clients from all walks of life dealing with many different struggles and issues. I find most people are often just trying to manage the stresses of everyday life, overcome negative habits, or find closure and peace with past trauma. Often they just want to find new and better ways to cope or be able to change how they think and feel.

Many of the people that I see are at differing stages, transitions, struggles and journeys within their lives. Each of you have a unique set of needs and personal journey that prompted you to take this step. I have over 21 years of experience and enjoy working with teens and adults and provide individual and family therapy. My goal is to tailor the therapy session based on your identified goals and needs. I provide a safe, supportive, confidential and trusting environment that allows you to express, explore or gain desired insight into yourself, others or relationships or what your personal identified therapy journey may entail.

I have a passion for working with children, teenagers, and entire family systems. Improving communication skills, navigating life transitions, and developing adequate coping mechanisms are just a few of the many topics I enjoy focusing on within the therapeutic setting. I have a family-centered approach, meaning I aim to include families in sessions with their children and/or teenagers as much as possible. I'm a firm believer that you can only see so much change in a child or teenager's life if they aren't allowing their family to work through those changes with them.
