Carley Pearce, LMSW

I’m here to support you in creating the life you envision for yourself. Your self-determination is paramount, and I believe in recognizing your unique strengths as we navigate this journey together.

I work alongside individuals facing challenges like anxiety, depression, trauma, substance use, grief, body image issues, and relationship difficulties. I understand that each person’s story and experiences are distinct, and I approach our collaboration with cultural humility, curiosity, and compassion. You are the expert in your own life, and my role is to partner with you to better understand your experiences and identify your strengths. Together, we’ll focus on the goals that resonate most with you.

In our work, we’ll create a supportive space where you feel heard, valued, and empowered. Life can present overwhelming challenges, but by building on your strengths and developing effective coping strategies, we can foster meaningful change.

My approach is strengths-based and collaborative, incorporating various modalities such as Solution-Focused Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Mindfulness, Internal Family Systems (IFS), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). Together, we will explore areas like interpersonal relationships, boundary setting, emotional regulation, and personal growth, all while keeping your goals and values at the forefront.

I also have a deep passion for supporting athletes. Drawing from my own background as a former athlete, I understand the unique pressures and experiences that come with sports. With a certification in Sports Social Work, I can help athletes navigate performance anxiety, injuries, transitions, and retirement. Together, we’ll explore your identity both within and beyond your sport, recognizing that while being an athlete is significant, it’s just one part of who you are. Our work will focus on building resilience, enhancing emotional well-being, and cultivating an authentic identity on and off the field, court, or track.

Creating a warm, supportive, and nonjudgmental environment is essential to me. Trust and connection will be at the heart of our work together. I look forward to partnering with you on your journey toward healing and growth.

Thank you for considering me as part of your path.
