Carla Scarr

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 36 years of experience in private practice, having also served as a clinical director, clinical supervisor, and MFT training coordinator. I work with children, adolescents, adults, and individuals navigating depression, trauma, grief, divorce, domestic violence, postpartum mood challenges, and significant life transitions. I offer a bilingual, Spanish-speaking practice and am licensed in both California and Oregon, providing both in-person and telehealth sessions. My practice has always grown through word of mouth, which reflects the relationships and lasting outcomes at the heart of my work.

My approach is collaborative, practical, and informed by decades of experience across a wide range of clinical settings. I do not believe in one-size-fits-all therapy. I work with you to understand what is getting in the way and tailor the process to what you actually need. I offer sliding scale fees to make quality care accessible, and I am committed to creating a space where you feel genuinely heard, respected, and supported throughout our work together.

Our first session is a chance to get to know each other and begin exploring what has brought you to therapy. I will listen carefully, ask questions, and make sure you feel at ease sharing at your own pace. I am not interested in fitting you into a formula. My goal is for you to leave feeling heard and with a clear sense of how we might work together. I look forward to seeing if we are a good fit.
