Carrie Gensler, MA, LPC, CCTP, NBCCH, CPCS (She/Her)
Practice Co-Owner and Therapist
Sometimes we need a place where we can feel safe with ourselves and our emotions. Maybe you feel lost or just not like yourself anymore. Maybe you are struggling with a particular issue or maybe you just want someone to listen and make you feel heard. No matter where you are in your journey, I would like to help. I believe that therapy doesn't always have to be about fixing yourself, but maybe finding more understanding about yourself. As a therapist, my goal is to create a safe environment for you to explore your feelings. Therapy is a collaborative experience and I believe in working together to guide my clients to a place of understanding, happiness, and safety.
I have years of experience in the mental health field, primarily working with trauma, CPTSD, the LGBTQIA+ community, and anxiety. My experience ranges from inpatient care to private practice, which gives me a unique perspective and understanding of working with mental health. I have a passion for working with the LGBTQIA+ community, always using affirming care. I currently work with individuals over 18.
I adapt my approach to the needs of each client, understanding that this is a journey we go on together. I often work from a CBT-oriented approach although, when working with trauma, my approach is psychodynamic, and person-centered. I pull from attachment theory, parts work, inner child work, emotion-focused therapy, and mindfulness to help my clients better understand themselves and find relief. I also am trained in brain spotting and a certified hypnotherapist, which are effective treatments for trauma, CPTSD, depression, and anxiety. I aim to help you build personalized tools to help manage symptoms and live a more fulfilling life.
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor. I obtained my Master's in clinical mental health counseling from Argosy University and I started my career in a behavioral health hospital, running groups for young adults, the LGBTQIA+ community, and women with trauma. I am a certified clinical trauma professional, national board-certified hypnotherapist, and certified professional counseling supervisor.
