Carly Nielsen

“My aim in working with individuals is to create an inclusive and supportive therapeutic environment using empathy, compassion, and authenticity. I offer a flexible, clientcentered approach to therapy. This means that I view the therapeutic relationship as a collaborative process where client and therapist work together to develop goals and objectives for therapy and explore the best ways to go about it.”

Carly began working in the field as a foster care caseworker for the Division of Child and Family Services before going back to school to get her master’s degree in social work. She completed her internship as a domestic violence therapist working with victims of intimate partner violence.

Drawing from various therapeutic modalities, such as eye movement desensitization (EMDR), trauma focused cognitive behavioral therapy (TF-CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), attachment focused work, existential and psychodynamic theory, Carly helps clients develop insight, build coping skills, and make positive changes in their lives.
