Carol Bazis

Hello! My name is Carol Bazis, and I am a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW-C). My goal for you is to embark on a journey together that will help you gain self-awareness, heal and feel comfortable in your own skin. In the past 15 years, I have worked primarily with adolescents, young adults and parents. I have expertise in working with people with executive function challenges, people who struggle with organization, poor focus, and impulse control including those diagnosed with ADHD. Anxiety, depression, grief and loss.

My approach is rooted in a person-centered philosophy: you are the expert in your life, and I join you as a supportive partner in exploration and change. I offer a safe, nonjudgmental space built on unconditional acceptance, empathy and authenticity. From that foundation, we collaboratively clarify your goals, recognize your strengths, and tailor the process to your cultural background and unique story.

To support your growth, I draw from well-established, evidence-based methods—including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness-based practices, and strengths-based approaches—choosing the techniques that best align with you. We’ll regularly review your progress, remain flexible, and adjust course together as your needs evolve

In our first session, we will focus on getting to know each other and what matters to you. I’ll invite you to share what brought you here, what you hope for, and we’ll talk about how we might work together. I will explain how I work (drawing from CBT, mindfulness, strengths-based approaches) and we will decide together if this feels like a good fit. You don’t need to have a fully-formed goal in mind yet — just come as you are. My job is to create a safe, culturally-responsive partnership so you feel heard and respected from the start.
