Alton Carswell

My communication style

I create a client-centered and affirming environment. I like to create a safe space for individuals to practice discussing difficult topics so that they can find their voice and utilize it in their situations and relationships.

My journey to mental healthcare

I was attracted to the therapy career because I wanted to help others in my community. When I was searching and attempting to solve some difficult problems in my life, working with a therapist supported my self-development and progress.

My goals for you

For action-oriented clients, I like to develop SMART goals with clients that allow for completion but also a reasonable self-regard for the barriers and negative thoughts that may prevent clients from achieving these goals initially.

Our first session

The intake is a client's time to connect and build rapport with their therapist. They can use this time to inform me about their situation and goals. They can tell me about previous psychology experience, or if this is the first time you are meeting, we can discuss what you are seeking from therapy and how the therapy process can assist.
