Carolyn Schowengerdt

I am a licensed clinical psychologist with 39 years of experience. I currently see clients via zoom and age 18 and up. In my work with anxiety and depression I have taken clients from reclusive to a life they enjoy. I use EMDR with trauma , and address the somatization. I have helped many parents to have a better relationship with their children by improving parenting skills and to understand how children's brains function differently. I have helped seniors make difficult changes in life with ease.

I am very compassionate and non-judgemental. I take time to get to know each client, their problems, their values, their culture and what they want to acheive in therapy. The better I understand their orientation to life the better I can help them achieve their goals in therapy.

Clients get to tell their story about what they want from therapy. Clients usually express feeling uplifted and more positive about being able to make changes in life. They are hopeful about the goals they expect to acheive in therapy. I talk to clients about what to expect in therapy. I use therapeutic homework to help them build skills. I encourage laughter and celebrate with them the progess that they are making.
