Meet the Counselor
Carrie V. Pate, PhD, LCSW
Life can be difficult, and reality can feel unfriendly and unchangeable. Even in hopeless circumstances, there is something we can do. I enjoy bringing a mindful and reality-based approach to therapy, diving into the sources of our conflicts and worries to heal the source of life's pain. I want to help empower you to find the path and solutions that work best for you as you journey to your best self.
Once we realize and accept the reality we have, we can learn to work within it to solve problems, improve our situation, and heal wounds. Whether the problems are in our present or in our past, they can impact us now, and I believe you deserve to move forward into your life. Changing our thinking or ways of living is difficult. I am honored to help create a safe, grounded, connected space for you to explore, energize, and seek balance in yourself and your life.
