My clients are some of my favorite people, and it’s my absolute privilege to play a part in their healing. I see the therapeutic relationship as a distinctly remarkable opportunity for growth. It’s not only a conduit for change, but a model for how we relate to others. I am authentically myself in session because the connection we’ll share will matter as much as the techniques we’ll use to help you meet your goals, and it’s important you feel safe with me—not only to explore the intricacies of your psychology, but to repair the wounds of your past and move forward in strength. Trust takes time, of course, and our relationship will deepen the longer we work together. It all starts with a consultation. If you think you’d like working with me, please reach out. I know how hard it is to find the right therapist—if you think it’s me, I want to hear from you! https://carriecovell.com/therapy-services daily 0.75 2026-10-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1618497259178-6XJGK9GR6YAVBQL5L519/20140301_Trade-151_012-2.jpg Therapy Services for Attachment Trauma, Anxiety, and Relationship Problems | Carrie Covell, LCSW https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1607694583486-2PQT0LQ193RL7MCB6DX4/20140228_Trade+151_0046.jpg Therapy Services for Attachment Trauma, Anxiety, and Relationship Problems | Carrie Covell, LCSW https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1607694644871-IC85FNH781UNZSZEGHDR/Aro+Ha_0428.jpg Therapy Services for Attachment Trauma, Anxiety, and Relationship Problems | Carrie Covell, LCSW https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69b4c7177be5f92abcf21bf4/282a5f50-a4ee-40d6-8e75-f10dc301e840/bird-flying-over-ocean.jpg Therapy Services for Attachment Trauma, Anxiety, and Relationship Problems | Carrie Covell, LCSW - Therapy with precision & depth for lasting change I specialize in synthesizing advanced, evidence-based interventions with depth-oriented, trauma-focused, and attachment-informed care.

Research consistently shows it to be among the strongest and most reliable predictors of positive outcomes, and I see this reflected every day in my practice. We all need connection, understanding, and yes, sometimes help. Beyond education, training, and experience, it is my humanity I bring most fully to session. I want to meet you where it hurts, where things feel stuck, or where life stopped making sense. I’ve been there, too—and I know you can heal. https://carriecovell.com/who-i-work-with daily 0.75 2026-08-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69b4c7177be5f92abcf21bf4/47531f51-3f1e-45bb-b97a-3ae8188d58d3/woman-sitting-alone-by-ocean.jpg Who I Work With | Therapy for Women & LGBTQ+ Adults in California & New York | Carrie Covell, LCSW - I work with insightful women and members of the LGBTQ+ community who, despite their best efforts, feel stuck when it comes to their relationships and self-esteem. Often admired for their competence and charisma, it may not be apparent they’ve experienced early trauma, emotional neglect, abandonment, or loss. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69b4c7177be5f92abcf21bf4/9615ea00-5e2b-46c8-95fc-102a4d6bceb1/lgbtq-diverse-community.jpg Who I Work With | Therapy for Women & LGBTQ+ Adults in California & New York | Carrie Covell, LCSW - They struggle privately with overthinking, self-criticism, and intense feelings like guilt, shame, sadness, and anger. Dynamics with romantic partners, family members, colleagues, or friends can be painful and confusing, resulting in conflict, anxiety, or distance. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69b4c7177be5f92abcf21bf4/3bd95c6c-6962-40c8-88d7-bbc94e2bb24f/man-meditating-near-ocean.jpg Who I Work With | Therapy for Women & LGBTQ+ Adults in California & New York | Carrie Covell, LCSW - Coping mechanisms like perfectionism, control, avoidance, and people-pleasing provide a false sense of safety while actually sabotaging intimacy and inner-peace. Intelligent and introspective, my clients crave deeper connection—with others and themselves—they just need a little help to get there. https://carriecovell.com/consultation-request-received daily 0.75 2026-10-13 https://carriecovell.com/attachment-relational-trauma-therapy daily 0.75 2026-10-25 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69b4c7177be5f92abcf21bf4/1780932030.571772-JQLKEAXTRLPAMOZUWRZV/imgg-gg3p-BC-DQ-S-cef24ac4.png Attachment & Relational Trauma https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69b4c7177be5f92abcf21bf4/eeef412d-9d24-4325-8731-15ad4c87aea2/hands-touching.jpg Attachment & Relational Trauma - Relational As we are hurt in relationship, so too do we heal. My approach to treating attachment and relational trauma is grounded in attachment and relationship. This means that my greatest priority is building safety and trust with my clients so they feel seen, heard, understood, and held in their experience in the ways they may not have in the past. The power of secure therapeutic connection alone can be transformative. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69b4c7177be5f92abcf21bf4/eae0ce08-2f38-4e40-b312-987891ba3b54/to-do-list.jpg Attachment & Relational Trauma - Behavioral Along the way, and depending on their needs, I address with my clients any immediate problems in their lives, using behavioral techniques and strategies to decrease mood or anxiety symptoms, and teaching skills to help with distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/69b4c7177be5f92abcf21bf4/d3fb3b02-08b1-4a68-b493-41f6b1b95703/hands-on-heart.jpg Attachment & Relational Trauma - Experiential When trauma enters the room, we work with it. Sometimes for a moment, sometimes for a session, and sometimes for weeks at a time. Experiential techniques are integrated here to facilitate emotional and somatic processing. We decide together how far to reach, and there’s no rushing the process. In fact, slowing down is often the key to progress.
