My name is Carolyn Cole (she/her), and I am a lifelong social worker in Texas, (born & raised in Louisiana).My social worker life has had twists and turns- I am grateful for the broad and diverse learning. I have worked in/with hospice, hospital settings, substance use disorder, teen pregnancy/parenting, and school districts, I received my LCSW (clinical social worker license) before the pandemic, a traumatic and anxious time for many of us. And, the impact still lingers with us.

I am trained in many modalities and work with my clients to identify and empower their strengths, their health. and and any roadblocks in life

My academic research includes integrated services for positive educational outcomes, and the lived experience of LGBTQIA+ individuals, including those with religious and church trauma. I have significant experience working with trauma, grief, and loss. I also teach clinical focused social work masters level (MSW) students at the university level.

I offer a strengths-based approach to our work; what is possible and positive.

My work includes adults of all ages, adolescents, and a warm, empathetic demeanor. I look forward to navigating your success with you!

Best of all: I can see you virtually "On Your Time"; weekends and nights available.

I believe that every person has the capacity for growth, healing, and meaningful change. My goal is to provide a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental environment where clients feel comfortable exploring life’s challenges, processing difficult emotions, and gaining a deeper understanding of themselves. I know that starting therapy can feel vulnerable, so I work to create a space where you feel heard, respected, and supported from the very beginning. I’m especially passionate about helping individuals navigate concerns related to trauma, anxiety, stress, relationships, and family issues while building insight, resilience, and healthier ways of coping.
