About Me
I'm Carly, an EMDR Therapist and EMDRIA-Approved Consultant with over a decade of experience helping clients heal from trauma, anxiety, and relationship challenges. As the owner of The Counseling Nook in West Virginia and founder of EMDR with Carly, my passion is guiding people to process painful experiences, find relief from overwhelming symptoms, and step into a more empowered, authentic life. My approach is warm, collaborative, and trauma-informed. I use EMDR therapy as my primary modality because it allows clients to move beyond insight alone and actually reprocess what has kept them stuck. Whether someone is navigating the impact of childhood experiences, grief, or stressors in adulthood, Alongside my therapy practice, I also provide EMDR consultation for therapists, helping to strengthen the reach of EMDR and ensure clients everywhere can access quality care.
Education & Experience
I have my Master's in Social Work and a minor in Art. I love using art when I can in my therapy practice.
