Carrie Skrzat

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in PA and DE, specializing in trauma informed care and changing unhealthy patterns to build the life you want to live. I believe we would work well together if what you have been doing is no longer working, or not working well enough; if your response to intense emotions, or your way of dealing with them, is getting in the way of other important areas of your life; if you are looking for something to provide lasting change instead of only temporary relief. I value the courage it takes to be honest about your struggles and I am committed to meeting that honesty with professional support.

I provide a person centered environment where you are the expert on your own life. I specialize in trauma informed care, focusing on the resilience and strengths you already possess. Using a psychodynamic approach, we explore and understand how history has played a role in your current patterns. We will use motivational interviewing and mindfulness to identify your personal goals and motivations for change. We will also incorporate evidence-based skills and education to help give you the practical skills you need to make lasting changes in your day to day.

In your first session, you can expect a warm and non-judgmental environment where we focus on building a safe, collaborative space. We will spend time exploring your history and current challenges at a pace that feels comfortable for you, ensuring you feel heard and respected from the start. We will begin to identify your unique strengths and motivations and establish meaningful goals tailored to your unique identity.
