You are the expert on your life,
you determine your goals for therapy.
The fact that you have survived so far and that you are here on this website is proof that you have enormous life force within you. Sure, you have lived with your pain and are tired of hurting, but you are also brave enough to know you need some support. I promise unconditional respect and attuned dialogue within a safe virtual platform.
When talk therapy isn't enough.
To create a life worth living, healing must happen first. If you work with me, we will build on the strengths that helped you survive. You can release stuck trauma from your nervous system, let go of ineffective habits, and increase your capacity for living authentically. At every stage of your progress, I offer safety and respect within the therapeutic relationship.
I am licensed as a mental health counselor in both Missouri and Massachusetts. Additionally, I am certified as an Expressive Arts Therapist, a Somatic Experiencing™ Practitioner, and a Crisis Stabilization & Support Counselor.
Carol Hodson, LPC, LMHC, SEP
Adult client: age 33
Since working with Carol, I have noticed significant shifts in the way I think about the past - myself and others. SE™ therapy has gifted me a deeper capacity for self-expression and the ability to choose outside of old patterns.
Adult Client: age 36
Carol has always made my life feel like I can do it. What is IT? I’m not sure and I’m still figuring it out, but Carol continuously gives me the space and freedom within a safe environment where I can explore.
Crisis Team Colleague
It was such a privilege to do crisis work in [Carol’s] powerful presence. Her authenticity & vulnerability allows her to connect with others on such a deep level and it was my honor to witness that.
