Trauma is something that happened to you, but it doesn't have to become your identity. It can have a profound and lasting impact on every aspect of your life. From difficulties setting boundaries in relationships, at work or school, to everyday stress, trauma can change the way we see ourselves and the world around us. By understanding the role that trauma has played in your life, we can start to address the ways it's affecting you today and begin to build a foundation for healing. "Healing Doesn't Mean The Damage Never Existed. It Means That The Damage No Longer Controls Our Lives."- David Kessler. I'm a trauma-focused therapist that works with adults ages 18-45. I look at the role that trauma and other negative events from your past play into how you're living life today. I also specialize in anxiety related to trauma & grief as well and use a combination of EMDR, CBT & other supportive therapies in session. Finding the right therapist isn't easy. You look to find someone who's authentic, kind, & relatable while hoping that their personality meshes with yours so that you can work together in a way that feels natural. That, along with providing a safe environment are my goals when working together. If you think we might be a good fit, feel free to reach out

Times of transition can leave us feeling disoriented, uprooted, and tug at old emotional wounds. Finding our way through the rocky terrain of loss often compels us to reshape priorities, redefine ourselves, and re-imagine our future. If you are grieving the death of someone in your life, facing an uncertain diagnosis, an empty nest, the loss of a relationship, changing employment, adjusting to a geographical move, or experiencing other significant changes in your life, it would be my honor to support you in exploring the layers of your loss, finding your footing again, and restoring your hope for a meaningful future. I offer a safe, accepting, and nurturing setting for exploring the complexity of emotions, changes and challenges that may accompany times of transition, loss and uncertainty in our lives. I approach grief not as a problem to be solved, but rather as a natural, human response to loss. Your grief needs and deserves a witness. Our work together may incorporate mindfulness and self compassionate practices, as well as the use of writing as a means of expression, release and healing. I welcome the opportunity to create space for you to acknowledge and explore the painful aspects of loss and change, while also inviting room for possibilities of healing, regrounding and reconnection.

I am not currently accepting new clients and do not anticipate openings until May 2024. Adults I work with are interested in setting boundaries, overcoming negative thought patterns, processing a loss, enhancing personal relationships and learning how to live intentionally rather than just checking boxes. Knowing that we need help can be hard, asking for help can be even harder. Whether we meet in person or virtually, you will feel comfortable to be able to unpack and process the things that are hard and may even be holding you back from living the life you want to live. When you decide on a therapist you want to work with, I recommend scheduling a consultation to ensure it is a great fit for what you are looking for. I offer up to a 30-minute (free) consultation to help determine if I can help you meet your therapy goals. Please go to my website for additional information www.CarlaHuff.com

The client-therapist rapport is a potent common factor in therapy success. You want to feel comfortable opening up and sharing your truths. Have you found yourself struggling with a change in your life that has left you feeling uncomfortable with your current emotional state. I offer a place to clear your head, organize your thoughts, and express your feelings without judgement. Give yourself permission to pause, process and then progress. I take pride in helping clients who may be struggling to find balance, purpose and a sense of normalcy again. I enjoy working with clients who are struggling with relationship issues, self -esteem, sexual orientation, acculturating, "adulting", or who find themselves in transition. For many of us asking for help can be daunting; especially if we are the ones that everyone else comes to for help. I want you to know that it's okay for you to need help too. It doesn't make you less of a leader, friend, mother, father, wife, son or daughter; It makes you human. I invite you to make yourself a priority and take care of you.

My treatment philosophy is to meet people where they are and work collaboratively to help define a more positive and joyful path forward. I look to my clients as experts on their situation, thought processes and experiences. It is through this shared work that I best utilize my clinical skills to help individuals identify unhelpful thinking patterns, self defeating behaviors, as well as any barriers to reaching identified goals. Once we identify what is standing in the way, I help my clients implement relevant strategies and coping skills to assist in independent emotional regulation. My expertise is in the treatment of mood disorders, trauma (including complex and developmental trauma), perinatal mood disorders, and issues pertaining to obesity - including pre and post operative support for bariatric surgery. I also identify myself as an LGBTQIA+ ally and have wide ranging experience serving this community including those in transition. I make special effort to tailor the counseling experience to the individual, rather than applying any kind of "one size fits all" treatment modality. Though my practice is certainly informed by evidenced based research and techniques, it is important to customize the approach that will best facilitate active engagement and positive outcomes.
