About Carrie Koushyk, LPCC
Arvada & Virtual Sessions
Have you been feeling stuck on difficult past experiences? Do you find yourself caught up in relationship dynamics that don't feel supportive? Have you noticed feelings of anxiety, hopelessness, or disconnection from yourself? Whether you're wanting to find better ways to cope with anxiety or depression, process trauma, break out of people-pleasing or codependent patterns, improve relationship dynamics, or understand yourself better, I aim to support you through these experiences and empower you to show up fully and authentically in the present.
I utilize an integrated approach that includes person-centered, narrative, internal family systems (IFS), and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) modalities. I'm also trained in EMDR and frequently integrate it into my work with clients. I value creativity and often bring in various creative and experiential interventions as an additional support. I have a Bachelor's Degree in Psychology from the University of Northern Colorado and a Master's Degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Regis University. I also have experience working with individuals struggling with disordered eating patterns through my work at Eating Recovery Center. I approach working with clients from a non-judgmental lens, taking into account that pain and trauma can manifest in a variety of ways, and look forward to supporting you on the path towards healing.
As I support you on your journey, I aim to provide warmth, hope, and compassion as well as give you the opportunity to be your authentic self. I believe that some of the most powerful change happens when we're truly heard and seen as we are and we're able to work through past experiences or patterns that no longer serve us to find a renewed sense of hope and meaning in our day to day lives. We will work together to identify your specific needs, address any challenges you're experiencing, and discover new paths you can embark on in the future.
"It takes courage to confront our actions, peel back the layers of trauma in our lives, and expose the raw truth of our past. But this is where healing begins."--Oprah Winfrey
