Carrissa Duncan

Hi there, I'm Carrissa!

If you're here, you likely struggle with attachment. Therapists can assist with this challenge in various ways. I believe the best way for me to be a trauma-informed clinician is to take care not to pathologize clients for the circumstances they are forced to survive in, but rather explore if old tools are working for new challenges.

My focus

While I have extensive experience with a diverse range of clientele, I find that I am most helpful treating women and femmes who struggle with attachment and self-esteem issues when dating or in romantic relationships. Past traumatic experiences can cause barriers to connection with self and others in the present; I help clients navigate this.

My approach

As a therapist, I have learned that the best gift I can give to my clients is to provide a secure attachment in the therapeutic alliance so that clients can begin to cultivate secure attachments in their own personal lives. I intend to create this therapeutic space for each one of my unique clients from our first session together.
