A Biblical Approach

With faith as the foundation, I believe in using a biblical approach when helping others become a better version of themselves. Whether you are dealing with depression, anxiety, trauma, relationship issues, or other problems we face as humans, the Bible offers guidance and transformative solutions. I believe in the Bible and its truth laid out in scripture. Its usefulness for living a full and purposeful life is clear, evident, and necessary. (2 Timothy 3:16-17; Hebrews 4:12)

I have over 10 years of experience working in the mental health field with adolescents and adults. No matter what someone is facing it all starts with having a strong foundation. Let me help you get started in becoming your best YOU for your good, the good of others, and ultimately God’s glory!

  • Psychotherapy is a process for treating varying levels of emotional distress (anxiety, sadness, grief, etc.) and disruptive/ineffective behavioral patterns through verbal and nonverbal communication between a client and a trained psychotherapist. Psychotherapy may include many different methods of treatment; however, most importantly, it requires active effort on your part as the client. This involves working with your therapist to identify the problems, develop goals, and take action. Psychotherapy cannot give you the answers to the problems you are facing, but it can help you find your own answers. Clients normally experience a range of reactions following sessions throughout the therapeutic process. Since therapy often involves discussing unpleasant aspects of your life, you may experience uncomfortable feelings like sadness, guilt, anger, and frustration during or after sessions. On the other hand, you may also feel a sense of relief, support, empowerment, or accomplishment after a session. As long as you engage in the process, psychotherapy can lead to better relationships, solutions to specific problems, and significant reductions in feelings of distress.

  • No. At Carter’s Counseling, we do not prescribe medication. Typically, clients see a psychiatrist or physician in network with their health insurance, or we can refer you to someone if you feel medication is needed.
