Carly Raimondo
Owner/ LMFT
When I think about the process of therapy, I think of it as a beautiful dance between myself and the client. Chemistry, rhythm, and safety all are important factors. When everything falls into place, it becomes a beautiful, and some times painful , experience of growth. It is my greatest honor to join clients on their journey. I enjoy working with individuals, couples and families.
I am foundationally trained in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT). DBT allows me to help clients dig in and discover themselves through mindfulness and self awareness. I also enjoy incorporating EMDR with clients who suffer with PTSD, Trauma, anxiety and depression. I work from a systemic lens, and look at how clients were raised, their relationships with others, as well as their boundaries. I ask myself, how do these things effect who a client is and impact on their mental health? My goal is to help you dig in and create healthy boundaries, limits and grace within yourself.

Art Therapist, LMFTA
I believe that every client is their own expert, and that a therapist’s job is to help a client remove barriers towards their growth and success. Each of us as parents, children, or individuals, have inner goals and inner goodness that can get lost along the way. Sometimes professional help is needed to bring about small changes and insights that result in big outcomes. I emphatically and enthusiastically support clients of all diverse backgrounds, and believe in affirming care for individuals of all sexual orientations, gender identities, and expressions.

We all possess the capacity to grow inour most congruent selves. I believe nobody does “bad” things on purpose; it is just the only way we know how to be. My goal is to help clients find another way of being. It is not about good or bad but about what is adaptive and what is maladaptive. Therapy is a place where we can develop those different ways of being. Nobody is beyond changing; we just need someone to help us.
