Carolyn Crews Forden

Cheers to you for taking your first step toward the changes you seek. There is powerful scientific evidence that therapy works. You can learn better ways to relate to friends and family, approach conflict, identify and prioritize steps toward your life goals, or change patterns that keep you stuck. Using warmth and positive regard, I will work with you to establish an environment conducive to trust and willingness to lean into change. My approach will balance listening with gentle and transparent challenging of unproductive patterns of thinking and acting.

As a caring professional with your best interests at heart, I will reflect back both strengths and barriers that I see in order to bolster your process of change and deepen your self-reflection. I can work with you through struggles with depression, anxiety, grief, couple and marital issues, family relationships, along with other challenges or diagnoses.

In our work together, I will incorporate evidence-based therapeutic approaches such as CBT, to recalibrate inaccurate thoughts that underlie negative emotions and behaviors, and EFT, which brings to light the needs, fears and care behind ineffective behaviors and feelings of anger. I look forward to hearing you and taking a supportive role in your life.
