Carrie Christiansen

My communication style

My communication style is warm, clear, and collaborative. I aim to create a space where you feel heard and respected, while also being honest and direct when it supports your growth. I balance empathy with practical feedback, and I adjust my style to meet your comfort level and needs throughout treatment.

My journey to mental healthcare

I was drawn to becoming a provider through a deep interest in understanding human behavior and a desire to support people through difficult moments in their lives. Over time, I saw how powerful it can be for someone to feel truly heard and supported, which solidified my commitment to this work.

My goals for you

I help clients reach their goals by working together to define clear, meaningful objectives and breaking them into manageable steps. We regularly track progress, adjust strategies as needed, and focus on building practical skills and insight. I support clients in staying accountable while also fostering self-compassion.

Our first session

In our first session, we’ll focus on getting to know you, your current concerns, and what brought you to therapy. I’ll ask questions about your history, goals, and what you hope to gain from treatment, while also giving you space to share at your own pace. We’ll begin identifying priorities and next steps, so you leave with a sense of direction.
