Alden Carroll Counseling
Support that goes beyond coping
Clinical Social Work/TherapistMSW, LCSWShe/herVerified by Psychology Today
Whether you’re navigating life on your own or alongside a partner, you may look capable from the outside while quietly carrying anxiety, disconnection, or the weight of past experiences. You’re self-aware and driven, but tired of pushing through.
I offer therapy for individuals, couples, and families dealing with anxiety, stress, relationship issues, and trauma. With 26 years of experience, I use integrative somatic and nervous-system approaches tailored to each person and relationship.
This work goes beyond coping. It’s about genuine freedom, deeper connection, and the life you know is possible. You deserve that. I’m here to help.
Whole-person care
Trauma-informed, somatic and grounded in neuroscience
I provide trauma-informed care rooted in somatic and nervous-system regulation, drawing from neuroscience to create lasting change.
My integrative approach includes EMDR, mindfulness, EFT, guided imagery, meditation, attachment work, Family Systems, and parts work.
With couples, I draw from Imago, Emotionally Focused Therapy, and PACT to renew connection.

A welcoming space
Met exactly as you are
