Carrie Peoples, LICSW

I am a therapist who values relational therapy and the ongoing process of assessment and exploration of the many intersections of identities. I want clients to feel understood and seen when working with me.

My practice is a virtual practice that allows clients greater access to therapy through more flexible scheduling and eliminating time in transportation. My approach to therapy is founded in the value of the therapeutic relationship. It is important that my clients feel heard and validated with a sense of security as they explore experiences of both suffering and success. I believe that each individual I have the honor to work with is an expert in their lives and my role is to help facilitate a joint process of exploring solutions, skills, and building existing strengths necessary to live more peacefully and authentically.
I function from a strength based approach and work hard to remove as much of the power differential that occurs in a helping relationship. I have 12 years of experience in a variety of settings working with individuals and families. I consider my theoretical approach to be eclectic in that I utilize a variety of approaches to meet a client's needs.
I am also a certified holistic health coach and have worked with individuals around developing dietary and lifestyle practices that are sustainable and support the life they wish to live. I integrate my knowledge of health and wellness into my therapeutic work as I value the importance of an integrated biological, psychological, social, and spiritual self.
