Shandra Carlsen, MSW, LCSW, CFLC

Welcome! I am so glad you are here. Finding the right therapist is a significant step when starting therapy. For 10 years, I worked with children, families, and couples within child protection, foster care, and adoption. For the past five years, I have focused my private clinical practice on helping individuals and couples navigate relationship trauma, attachment wounding, personal histories of abuse, and chronic shame. I am passionate about helping clients break free from behavioral and relational patterns that no longer serve them and witnessing the transformation that occurs as they improve their lives. My Approach I offer faith-based therapeutic interventions, providing you with powerful and relevant tools to apply throughout your life. I am EMDR certified, trained in the Developmental Needs Meeting Strategy (DNMS), and a certified Master Faith-based Life Coach. These methods allow us to discover and resolve distressing emotional and physical experiences through a compassionate Christian lens. Additionally, I utilize cognitive-behavioral and person-centered approaches to bring clarity and meaningful change to your life. By increasing awareness of your thought patterns, you can empower yourself to create better outcomes. I invite you to call for your complimentary 15 minute consultation today!
