ADHD Therapists in Syracuse, NY

Hi and welcome! I have had the true honor in witnessing through my clients, the strength and growth that people are capable of. I pride myself in creating a safe space for self exploration, healing, empowerment and problem-solving. I believe each session is an opportunity to freely be yourself through exploring your past, present and working to cultivate helpful strategies to take with you from the present day and on. I have taken intentional and diligent steps to be skilled in several treatment approaches to address: trauma, anxiety, depression, phobias, family issues and identity development concerns.

There is potential for things to be okay. Whatever you're experiencing that brought you to this step may feel so huge and it may feel like things will never be okay, but they can be. Therapy is a process. It's all about throwing things out there and seeing what makes the most sense to you in a safe, open environment.

I have been working with clients for over 15 years. I feel most comfortable addressing individual struggles from a strength based perspective. Anxiety, depression and trauma related issues are addressed by utilizing a blend of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, as well as from a Family Systems perspective. This, I believe, allows the client to achieve the most success and a clearer understanding of their own struggles and how to overcome them.

It can be overwhelming trying to find "the right fit". During our first meeting I learn about what you would like to get out of counseling and how to work together to achieve your goals. I strive to build a comfortable place to establish a relationship by respecting each person's timeline for opening up and sharing details of their life. I provide a safe environment to foster healing and growth through supporting and empowering you on your personal journey. I have experience in mind and body connection, trauma, anxiety, depression, grief, behavioral challenges in children and teenagers, relationship challenges, and substance abuse.

Does your use of SOCIAL MEDIA feel like an ADDICTION? Do your moods vacillate wildly depending on your Twitter mentions or how many times somebody has swiped right on your profile? We fear the judgment of others, but we crave their approval and praise. These feelings can be overwhelming and make you feel like you are out of control. What if I told you that you didn’t need to suffer like this?

I am currently accepting telehealth patients through the Headway portal. My website is listed below. https://headway.co/providers/kali-carpenter I think the most important message that I want to send to clients is I am here to understand your world view. I am trained as a Dialectical Behavior Therapist (DBT) which is designed to help you achieve balance between acceptance and change. I promise to be compassionate, direct, empathetic, non-judgemental, validating, and a little bit irreverent at times. My office is a safe space for you to process, make meaning, grow, and learn.

“What lies behind us and what lies before us are but tiny matters compared to what lies within us.” -Ralph Waldo Emerson. My approach to treatment is fairly simple: Facilitate real and lasting change with the combined approach of education, understanding, and a nonjudgmental stance. Before finding my way to social work twenty years ago, my profession was in the field of natural science. I came to understand that there is more overlap between natural science and therapy than I could have anticipated. As scientists, we are taught to appreciate the beauty and necessity of diversity in all things. The same is true for therapy.
