Carolyn Carrier

Psychotherapy and counselling have been my life's work for over a decade. I hold a Master's degree in Counselling Psychology from Western University, along with a background in Sociology and Adult Education, and I'm a Certified EMDR Therapist (EMDRIA) with advanced training through the International Society for Traumatic Stress Studies.

​

My practice centres on EMDR therapy, though I draw from CBT and mindfulness-based approaches depending on what each client needs. I work most often with adults navigating anxiety, PTSD, dissociation, and the effects of abuse or traumatic experience, including specialized experience supporting male survivors of abuse. I also bring a family mediation background to my work with individuals and couples going through separation and collaborative parenting, helping clients process the emotional weight of that transition while keeping their children's wellbeing at the centre.

​

I believe healing is something our minds and bodies are naturally built to do, therapy's role is to help when that process gets stuck. I meet clients where they are, at a pace that feels safe, and adapt the work to whether someone needs skills-based support or deeper trauma processing.

​

I'm also the author of Dear Self: A Journey Through Trauma & Healing, a guided journal for trauma recovery available through the practice.
