Hi, I'm Douglas Carmody, a licensed therapist with a passion for helping individuals navigate life's challenges. With experience working with diverse clients, I've had the privilege of supporting people through various struggles, including depression, addiction, anxiety, and trauma. My approach is centered around empathy, understanding, and collaboration, and I'm committed to creating a safe and non-judgmental space for you to explore your thoughts, feelings, and goals. Let's work together to find a path forward that works for you.
My approach combines talk therapy with evidence-based techniques to help you achieve your goals. We'll work together using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to challenge negative thoughts, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to cultivate mindfulness and values-based action, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to develop emotional regulation skills. For those who have experienced trauma, I also incorporate Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy to help process and heal from past experiences. Through our work together, you'll gain a deeper understanding of yourself and develop practical skills to improve your mental health and well-being.
In our therapy sessions, you can expect a safe, respectful, and non-judgmental environment in which to explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences. I'll work with you to identify and work towards your goals, using a solution-focused and goal-oriented approach that prioritizes your needs and autonomy. I'll maintain professional boundaries and respect your cultural background and right to self-determination, tailoring our work together to support your unique values and aspirations. Together, we'll work to find practical solutions and strategies that enhance your well-being.
