Lynn Carolin, LCSW — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Lynn!

I specialize in providing support to older adults and Veterans.

My focus

Common areas I work on with clients include anxiety, depression, stress management, life transitions, and caregiver support.

My approach

In my practice, I use strengths-based, relational, client-centered, and psychodynamic approaches tailored to your specific needs and goals. I am Level One trained in Internal Family Systems and hold advanced certificates in polyvagal-informed treatment, palliative care, and psychedelic psychotherapy and research.

My communication style

My clients often describe me as warm, compassionate, curious, truthful, creative, and practical, with a good sense of humor.

My journey to mental healthcare

I look forward to the possibility of working with you.

My goals for you

I provide a safe, nonjudgmental space where we can collaboratively explore and clarify your current circumstances and goals. Together, we navigate the challenges you're experiencing and empower you to develop effective goals and coping strategies unique to you.

Our first session

Creating a safe, respectful relationship with my clients is foundational to my work. Our first session is an opportunity for us to get to know one another, what you want to accomplish in therapy, and how I might be able to support you in reaching your goals.
