Carlye Rowe

I am a compassionate, trauma-informed therapist dedicated to creating a safe, supportive space where clients can feel understood, empowered, and comfortable being themselves. I graduated from Grand Canyon University with a degree in Christian Counseling and have specialized training in EMDR and Brainspotting, with a strong clinical focus on trauma and trauma recovery.

My experience working with children and families spans nearly two decades. I have 19 years of experience as a nanny, which has given me a unique understanding of child development, family dynamics, parenting challenges, and the everyday experiences that shape children as they grow. In addition, I have spent the past six years working clinically with children and adolescents, supporting them through anxiety, depression, trauma, ADHD, behavioral concerns, emotional regulation difficulties, life transitions, and relationship challenges.

My approach to therapy is individualized and relationship-focused. I believe therapy should meet clients where they are while providing them with practical tools to better understand their emotions, process difficult experiences, develop healthier coping skills, and create meaningful change. When working with children and teens, I also value collaboration with parents and caregivers when appropriate, recognizing the important role that family support can play in a young person’s progress.

Whether you are seeking support for yourself, your child, or your teenager, my goal is to provide a welcoming and nonjudgmental environment where you can feel heard, supported, and encouraged as you work toward healing and growth.

How I Work With Clients

My therapeutic style is warm, supportive, and client-centered. I place a strong emphasis on active listening and validation, creating a space where clients can feel heard, understood, and comfortable discussing difficult experiences without judgment. I believe that building a trusting therapeutic relationship is an important foundation for meaningful change.

I also incorporate psychoeducation into my work to help clients better understand how trauma, stress, relationships, and past experiences can impact their thoughts, emotions, behaviors, and nervous system. Helping clients understand the “why” behind what they are experiencing can reduce shame and increase their ability to recognize patterns and develop healthier ways of coping.

As a trauma-trained therapist with training in EMDR and Brainspotting, I have a particular focus on helping clients process trauma and difficult life experiences at a pace that feels safe and manageable. My approach is individualized to each client, combining emotional support, education, coping strategies, and trauma-focused interventions to help clients build greater self-awareness, emotional regulation, and confidence in navigating their lives.

What to Expect in Your First Session

The first session is focused on getting to know you and understanding what brings you to therapy. I will ask a variety of questions about your history, current concerns, relationships, support system, previous experiences with therapy, and any symptoms or challenges you may be experiencing. These questions help me gain a better understanding of you as a whole person and determine how I can best support you.

I strive to create a comfortable, welcoming, and nonjudgmental environment where you can share at your own pace. You do not have to tell your entire story or discuss traumatic experiences in detail during the first session. My goal is to begin building trust while identifying the concerns that are most important to you.

Together, we will begin discussing what you would like to gain from therapy and develop individualized goals based on your needs. By the end of the initial sessions, my hope is that you have a clearer understanding of what our work together may look like and feel comfortable moving forward with the therapeutic process.
