I’m Carly, a licensed therapist for parents and young children (up to 7 years old). I work closely with parents to teach them how to help their young children reach emotional well-being. Young children cannot change on their own, so my focus is on helping you - the parent- make positive changes to help your child feel safe, secure, and well, in every sense of the word. It is an honor to work with young children and their parents. I’m so excited to get to know you!
It would be amazing to know how to respond when your child tantrums, hits, is anxious or has trouble coming out of their shell.
Here's a little more about me.
My focus is on kids who are 0-5, but I treat kids up to 7 years old.
I am originally from southeastern Michigan and have lived in New York, California, Morocco, and Colombia as an adult. I speak Spanish and enjoy learning about cultures different from my own. In 2017, I began a graduate degree in clinical social work at USC, following a lifelong desire for a career that allows me to serve others.
In graduate school, I discovered my passion for working with young children and their parents after learning that a child’s first years of life set their trajectory for the future. My goal is to help parents deeply connect and attune to their child, enabling the child to grow, change and develop.
I typically use a dyadic approach when treating young children, meaning that I work with both the parent and the child simultaneously, guiding the parent through challenging moments with their child. Using this approach, I’ve successfully treated children under 7 years old who have tantrums, have lived through traumatic experiences, are defiant, and have other emotional difficulties.
I use a variety of modalities when helping parents and young children, depending on their needs. I am certified in Parent Child Interaction Therapy through Children’s Institute, Inc. I am rostered in Child Parent Psychotherapy. I am trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) through the Academy of CBT. I am currently training in infant massage through the International Association of Infant Massage.
