Carrie Covell, LCSW

My clients describe me as:

warm, direct, transparent, and thorough. I’m validating and nonjudgmental, and I challenge my clients when helpful.

Something to know about my approach is:

that I balance acceptance and change strategies. My sessions are structured yet flexible. While we'll develop a strong relationship and even enjoy some laughs, you'll almost always leave session with a small homework assignment.

Together, we will:

take a close look at your behaviors, experiences, and relationships to determine what's working for you and what's not. We'll use this information to set goals and collaboratively work toward any changes you want to make.

I specialize in working with people who:

have difficulty regulating their emotions, controlling their impulses, maintaining their relationships, and being compassionate towards themselves. I also help people cope with depression, anxiety, conflict, loss/grief, and transitions.

I became a therapist because:

People in my life began to ask me how I maintained my mental health, and I realized I could make it my job to tell them!

Something that stands out about where I offer therapy is:

My waiting area looks onto a beautiful courtyard, and one or both of my senior rescue dogs often join me in session (with client approval, of course).

More about me and my practice:

I practice with a strengths-based, nonjudgmental, anti-racist, sex-positive, and gender/identity/lifestyle-affirming stance.
