Person-centered counseling rooted in trust and genuine connection

Carrie Gassett, MA, LMHC-A

Counseling for Individual Adults Aged 18+

My Approach

My approach is process-oriented and embodied. This means I am interested in getting you out of your head and into your lived experience in the here and now. I may ask you how emotions feel in your body and what images or stories are playing through your mind as you relate your experiences.

Many clients tend to intellectualize their feelings or spend a lot of time in the cognitive space, searching for solutions. Exploring your experience in the present moment and staying with emotions helps us identify your process - the way you make meaning in the world. It is my belief that becoming more aware of your unique process leads to empowerment, growth, change.

I draw from existential, somatic, and attachment-based methodologies such as Gestalt, Focusing, Emotionally-Focused Individual Therapy, and Mindfulness theories.
