About Me

Hello, Iโ€™m Carter, a somatic therapist committed to helping teens and adults navigate lifeโ€™s

challenges by fostering self-awareness, healing, and emotional resilience. I specialize in

supporting individuals dealing with ADD/ADHD, anxiety, panic, grief, loss, and significant life

transitions. My practice combines body awareness, creative arts therapy, and sensorimotor

psychotherapy, providing a holistic, trauma-informed approach to healing.

I create a safe, sensory-sensitive environment that encourages clients to slow down, tune into

their bodies, and identify how emotions are held and expressed physically. Through this

process, we uncover pathways to self-understanding and growth. I work closely with clients to

help them recognize and process their emotions, giving voice to different parts of themselves,

and fostering a sense of self-worth through practices like inner child work, self-parenting, and

parts work.

What I value most about the individuals I work with is their courage and willingness to engage in

this transformative process. My therapeutic approach is designed to help clients cultivate

self-acceptance and embrace all parts of themselves. By naming and understanding these

different internal experiences, clients can develop a more compassionate relationship with

themselves, reinforcing their sense of identity and self-worth.

Drawing on my background in vocal production, I also integrate creative, body-based tools that

support nervous system regulation and emotional exploration. These methods help clients find

authentic expression and clarity in how they communicate their needs and emotions. Whether

itโ€™s through breathwork, movement, or sound, each tool serves as a resource to support

emotional healing and personal growth.

In addition, I incorporate spiritual and nature-based practices, providing an earth-centered

perspective that deepens the connection between mind, body, and the natural world. These

practices are particularly effective in grounding clients and enhancing their connection to self

and others.

I am dedicated to empowering clients to not only manage their challenges but to embrace their

unique strengths, develop resilience, and thrive in their personal lives. My mission is to support

individuals on a journey toward self-acceptance, self-expression, and holistic well-being.

Sessions are available in person and virtually. If you are ready to explore new pathways toward

healing and empowerment, I invite you to reach out.
