Carin Kirikos

I am a holistic psychotherapist, as well as a fellow journeyer on the path. I hold the following licenses and certifications:

-Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW-C)

-Graduate Certificate Contemporary Analytical Psychology and Neo-Jungian Studies

-Certified Nature-Informed Therapist

-Certified Safe and Sound Protocol Provider

While there is no formal certification in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, I continuously hone and develop my ACT skills via peer consultation and formal training.

I specialize in major life transitions, and use ACT, Parts Work, Transpersonal/Neo-Jungian, Nature-Informed, and Body-Centered (Body Up!, SSP, Mindfulness, EFT Tapping, etc.) modalities. I am passionate about helping my clients connect to the inherent meaning, joy, and empowerment in their lives. My aim is to offer concrete skills, strategies, and behaviors to help people meet their goals. While I am a holistic psychotherapist, my primary framework is Acceptance and Commitment Therapy as an overarching framework. I balance compassionate listening with collaborative problem solving, using research based therapeutic techniques that promote positive change.
