Carrie Gottschalk

Carrie Gottschalk, LIMHP, helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and challenges tied to parenting and family life. She lists adoption and foster care and attachment concerns among her focus areas. Her approach is warm and interactive, and she aims to help people find practical ways forward when life feels stuck.

Carrie brings ten years of clinical experience and uses a blend of therapy methods to match each person's needs. Sessions focus on building on strengths, creating problem-solving steps, and addressing past wounds that affect present relationships. She works with approaches like attachment-based methods, cognitive behavioral techniques, and mindfulness-informed skills to reduce distress and increase coping.

Her style centers on the relationship between client and therapist. Conversations are respectful and compassionate, and Carrie tailors plans to what actually fits a person's life. She emphasizes clear goals and concrete tools rather than long, abstract discussions.

Carrie also uses therapies that target trauma and intense emotional reactions, including EMDR and Dialectical Behavior Therapy strategies, when those tools suit a client’s needs. These methods are used alongside client-centered work that keeps the person's preferences front and center.

People who choose to work with Carrie are offered a practical, strengths-focused process. She helps name problems, try small changes, and track what helps. If someone is ready to make a change, she supports that next step with steady guidance and real-world techniques.
