Approach
Carly believes in being adaptable; tailoring her approach to the unique needs, strengths, and goals of each client. She draws from evidence-informed modalities including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT), mindfulness-based practices, strengths-based approaches, and Solution-Focused Therapy. Additionally, Carly recently became certified in clinical hypnotherapy and can now integrate hypnotherapy into her existing services when appropriate.
