Kristen Carty
(She/Her/Hers)
Certified Addiction Counselor (CAC), Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW)
I welcome clients of all backgrounds and have a passion for helping people experience themselves fully in their everyday live.
I have been practicing clinical social work for over 15 years and have worked in numerous settings including hospitals, crisis management, substance abuse, EAP, Intensive In home, agencies and private practice. I love working with people from all different backgrounds especially those in life transitions. I approach treatment as a team effort and acknowledge that each client is an expert on themselves. I have a background in body psychotherapy and believe strongly in the mind/body connection. Clients of all backgrounds and identities are welcome in my practice
