Carrie Kray, LCSW, MAOM, CSAT Candidate
Carrie is a licensed clinical social worker with over 33 years in the behavioral health field. She has training in “bottom-up” modalities such as EMDR through the EMDR Institute, Accelerated Resolution Therapy (A.R.T.), Post Induction Therapy (PIT), Trauma Informed Stabilization Treatment (TIST)/IFS Informed Therapy, Somatic Informed Tools, Neuro-Affective Relational Model (NARM) informed approaches, as well as Experiential, and Psychodrama techniques.
She also has training and experience in “top-down” modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Rational Emotive Behavioral Therapy (REBT), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) Tools, and Psychodynamic Therapy. Additionally, she can incorporate Christian Counseling for those that request this.
Believing in a holistic approach, she is mindful of mind, body, and spirit and their interconnectedness. Her compassion comes from a place of having known challenging places herself. She works to create a safe, supportive environment for individuals to explore their inner worlds without judgement or expectations, be heard and seen, and move forward at a pace comfortable for them. She specializes in trauma resolution whether that be a major event or a series of events layered over time. She also is a CSAT candidate with training to address sex addictions, love addiction/love avoidance and betrayal trauma.
In her free time, she enjoys reading, writing, kayaking, hiking, being a bit of a “gym rat”, all things wellness, spending time with family and friends, board games, and being a life-long learner.
“My story may be different, but I’ve been in challenging places too. I consider it an honor to give back some of what was given to me.”
