Joann Carter

My communication style

Clear, open communication in a non-judgmental environment is a key success factor towards meeting a client's goals. I practice active listening and will give you opportunities to reflect on your experiences with you as an empathetic partner. If we’re working through something challenging, you can expect me to be calm and patient.

My journey to mental healthcare

I was always fascinated with our capacity for growth and ability to overcome deeply difficult times. I have spent the vast majority of my time as a therapist working with victims of violence and abuse. Seeing the growth and steps toward feeling better has been such a rewarding journey, and I am honored to continue partnering with others.

My goals for you

Developing goals together is important. Goals will be individualized to your journey and related to the struggles you are navigating. We will adapt our plan at any time—the journey is yours. Your goals will lead you to feeling better and healthier, and this will lead to changes in your relationships, mood, and overall well-being.

Our first session

Our first session will be about both of us getting to know one another better and understanding what your expectations are as we begin working with one another. Therapy is a process, and we go at your pace. We will take it one step at a time, and I am here to guide you through the process.
