Kwame Carter, LPC — Therapist in Virginia

Hi there, I'm Kwame!

I work in collaboration with my clients to create an open and safe environment with confidential treatment, utilizing a person-centered model. I look forward to assisting you with taking the next steps in therapy.

My focus

I have experience working with clients dealing with trauma, interpersonal challenges, infidelity, domestic violence, anxiety, depression, and grief.

My approach

I provide CBT as a primary technique in sessions, focusing on how thoughts impact behavior and exploring the effects of cognitive distortions.

My communication style

I have a warm and enthusiastic tone that can make therapy sessions enjoyable. It will make anyone feel encouraged and find solace.

My goals for you

I take a collaborative approach to goal setting. I allow you to identify goals and assist with developing objectives to ensure you reach your identified goal.

Our first session

During the first session, the goal is to build rapport. We discuss my background, my experience, and the concept of confidentiality. Next, we develop goals you want to explore. Lastly, I provide a safe place for you to share your story and explore what brings you into therapy.
