Carter Bain

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and EMDR-certified therapist, dedicated to providing a warm, empowering space for healing. A graduate of Virginia Commonwealth University, I specialize in helping individuals reprocess trauma, build skills to manage emotional dysregulation, and develop a more positive mindset. My approach is client-centered and trauma-informed, guiding you toward resilience and lasting change. Whether you're facing PTSD, anxiety, or life transitions, I am here to support your journey to well-being.

My approach to therapy is affirming, empowering, and client-centered, creating a safe and nonjudgmental space for healing. Using EMDR and the Adaptive Information Processing (AIP) model, I help clients reprocess trauma, reduce distress, and build resilience. I take a supportive and collaborative approach, working with you to set meaningful goals, measure progress, and develop skills for emotional regulation and positive thinking. My focus is on fostering self-awareness, growth, and empowerment, so you can move forward with confidence and clarity.

Clients can expect to leave sessions feeling empowered, supported, and equipped with practical tools to navigate life outside of therapy. My goal is to help you reprocess trauma, build emotional regulation skills, and develop a more positive mindset using EMDR and other evidence-based approaches. I create a safe, nonjudgmental space where we set meaningful goals and track progress together. Beyond sessions, I provide resources like guided meditations, grounding techniques, and mindfulness exercises to help you feel stable and in control. The focus is always on building resilience and confidence, so you can thrive both in and outside of therapy.
