Great to meet you!

I am an experienced therapist, licensed in Maryland, Ohio, Missouri, and Kansas. I will be your partner and tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. I have a master’s degree from the Mandel School of Applied Social Sciences at Case Western Reserve University. I have been described as supportive, direct, caring, and compassionate, with a good sense of humor. I like to focus on identifying your strengths and helping you maximize them.

My approach to therapy

I practice a type of therapy that aims to help clients accept what is out of their control and commit instead to actions that enrich their lives. Our goal is to help you create a rich and meaningful life. I have specialized experience in several areas including depression, anxiety, stress, grief and loss, relationship, and career/workplace issues. I also find success in working with those struggling with insomnia, chronic pain, diabetes, and other chronic medical conditions. Find me at: https://www.peggydecarlistherapy.com/

What you can expect from me

You can expect to take a plan from every session. That plan will align with what really matters to you and include skills to help you get out of the past and future and engage with the here and now. I know that whatever the intervention, the real change comes from you and strengths that you may not be currently aware of. I will also ask you to rate our session in terms of reaching your goals.
