Jessica A. Carlson, LMHC - Private Counseling Practice

Welcome to the private counseling practice of Jessica A. Carlson, LMHC. With a compassionate and client-centered approach, I am dedicated to helping people navigate life's challenges, heal from trauma, and foster personal growth. My practice provides a safe, supportive environment where clients can explore their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and heal in the process. And, I have a therapy dog, Teddy! He's here to comfort and bring smiles.

Approach: My therapeutic approach is integrative, combining elements of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness, and Person-Centered Therapy. I also incorporate Art Therapy as desired in sessions or as an extra coping strategy. This allows me to tailor my techniques to meet the unique needs of each client. I believe in empowering clients while providing guidance and support along the way.

I provide interactive sessions (I won't just stare at you waiting for you to talk) to foster healing, understanding, and coping. It's normal to feel nervous about something new. I do my best to help you feel comfortable while we talk about what's happening in your life. We will work on creating great coping skills for you.

My therapy dog Teddy (12 lb mini poodle) is around for most sessions. If you have an allergy or phobia of dogs, let me know and he can rest or play in another location.
