Carrie Gajowski, LMFT — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Carrie!

I am so glad you are here. I want you to know that you can have the life that you want and deserve. I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who works with adults in complicated relationships. I work with people who are involved in relationships that aren’t working for them, and they may not know why or what is happening.

My focus

I tend to work with men and women who find themselves in abusive relationships. I also work with people who deal with trauma, anxiety, and depression.

My approach

I view healing as an integration between mind, body, and spirit. I have been trained in EMDR and work with clients to help them heal their traumas. I draw from CBT and Mindfulness, along with Solution-based Therapy.

My communication style

I am friendly and enjoy working with my clients. I help you feel at ease throughout our time together. I will also point out patterns and cycles that I see happening so these can be addressed. Knowledge is power. If you can see what is happening, you can begin to make the changes that you might need to make.

My journey to mental healthcare

From an early age, I knew I wanted to help other people. I enjoy working with people and seeing them get more comfortable with themselves and with what they need in their lives.

My goals for you

We collaboratively decide what you want to focus on. We will work together on setting goals and determining the best ways to reach them.

Our first session

During our first session together, I will ask you more about yourself and your history. I will try to make it interesting and engaging. We will set goals at that time for our work together.
