Kelly Carter

Hi! My name is Kelly Carter and I am a licensed social worker serving MD, DC, VA, and NC. If you are looking for a therapist who will help you build a more compassionate relationship with yourself by encouraging laughter, tears, and authenticity in the therapy space, then you’ve come to the right place! I am certified in EMDR and utilize that modality, along with other trauma informed interventions to help clients process through trauma and improve their relationships with themselves and others. If you're looking for long-term change rather than a temporary band-aid, then I am here to help.

My person-centered clinical approach focuses on creating a warm, authentic therapeutic space that helps clients feel comfortable bringing every version of themselves to therapy. I tailor my therapeutic approach to the unique needs of each client while gently challenging them to do the work and make progress towards their personal goals.

Therapy isn’t meant to be comfortable because change isn’t comfortable; I’m here to help you find peace and progress in that discomfort. If you're looking for long-term change rather than a temporary band-aid, then you've come to the right place.
