Carla Byrne

My communication style

I strive to create an environment in which you feel you can be truly open about your thoughts and feelings, judgment-free. I foster this by being compassionate, empathetic, and warm. My clients tell me I am straightforward but gentle. The best way to progress through this work together is for you to feel at ease with me.

My journey to mental healthcare

I always knew that I would grow up to be a counselor. My friends and family would tell me that I was very empathetic. I always took that as a compliment, and I have always strived to be a helper. I truly care about people and want to be a part of humanity. I believe that life is sometimes incredibly difficult, and we do not have to go it alone.

My goals for you

To reach your goals, I will walk alongside you as we do this work. I believe that as the client, you are in charge of yourself, and that means you are in charge of your goals. I will be a guide and will help you to determine and manage those areas in your life that might be getting in the way of accomplishing your goals.

Our first session

During our first session, I will work to create a comfortable rapport with you, as I know it can be scary to begin counseling and talk about personal things with someone you've just met! We will go through information about confidentiality and my therapeutic approach. I will listen and work to help you feel heard and understood.
