Javae Carroll

I work with teens and adults who are struggling with feelings of sadness, worry, dread, helplessness or unease. You may be feeling overwhelmed, stuck in old patterns, or simply realizing that something in your life needs to change. Together we can make sense of the bigger picture of your life and the experiences, relationships, and environments that have shaped you.

I’m a curious therapist, and I want to understand you as a whole person. Together, we’ll identify patterns, figure out what might help you feel better, and develop a deeper understanding of yourself. My goal is to help you create changes that feel meaningful and lasting.

I believe therapy should have room for both problem-solving and deeper conversations, depending on what you need. Sometimes we may focus on what’s happening right now, while other times we’ll slow down and explore what’s underneath it. My style is warm, thoughtful, and direct.

I value honesty and openness in therapy and want you to feel comfortable bringing all parts of yourself into the room. I believe you are the expert on yourself. I’ll bring curiosity, perspective, and sometimes a challenge, but I won’t assume I know your life better than you do.

Your first session is a chance for us to get to know each other and talk about what brings you to therapy. I’ll ask about what’s going on in your life, important experiences and relationships, and what you’re hoping will be different.

We’ll start figuring out what you want from therapy, knowing that may change as we learn more. You can ask questions, be honest, and take your time. There’s no expectation that you share more than you’re ready for, and we don’t have to figure everything out in the first session.
