Carl walker, MSW

Hey there my name is Carl (They/Them).

I’m here to walk alongside you as you get to know yourself better, manage the daily stresses of life, as well as to help you to tap into the wisdom already in you. One of the most important parts of therapy is our therapeutic relationship. It is so important to me that you feel safe and heard in your therapy. I am excited to get to know you and work to understand the world through your eyes. I believe that therapy should be a collaboration between you and your therapist! This means that YOU get to be the expert on your own life and what works for you. From there, I will support you with my professional skills and knowledge to work with you to find the solutions best fitted for your needs. I hope that through our collaboration, you will be able to heal, grow, and uncover skills that help you to reach your goals.

I use a person focused and eclectic approach to therapy by combining skills across multiple therapy types including Internal Family Systems (IFS), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing and more. This means that your therapy is individually tailored just for you! My approach to therapy also draws from ideas including Intersectional Feminism, Anti-Racism, Disability Justice, Queer Theory, and Decolonization. I have specific experience and passion for working with individuals facing a spectrum of challenges and life changes some of which include Queer and 2sLGBTQIA+ experiences, navigating Autism and/or ADHD, PTSD / CPTSD and Religious Trauma. I also have experience working with depression and anxiety among other diagnoses.

If I’m not working I may find myself spending time in nature collecting moss, fungi and other natural treasures. I also enjoy a variety of fiber art hobbies as well as spending time with my friends, my spouse, our two cats and our tortoise. 

I believe it is a privilege to work with people as they heal, grow, and get to know themselves better. If you think we might be a good fit for therapy I’d love to hear from you to get you started!
