Carla Ricci, LMFT, EMDR Trained

I believe that everyone encounters situations in life that call for guidance. Sometimes it's a life change that requires temporary support - or it can be more involved, such as recurring patterns or distressing events that require more long term exploration. I believe you are the expert in your own life and have the answers you need within. My goal is to offer a safe, sacred, non-judgmental and supportive space for you to find them. My approach is direct and down to earth. I want the people I work with to get what they need so they can manage their lives more effectively and joyously.

Currently accepting new clients. Offering telehealth on a limited basis. Insurances accepted: I am not in network with any insurance however many insurance plans offer out of network benefits. I can help you navigate the insurance system to find out if you have these benefits. Out of pocket fees: Cash and credit cards accepted Sliding scale available based on need.

Therapists can only guide their clients as far as they have personally gone in their own work which is why I strongly believe that anyone in this type of work should be doing, or should have done their own work. I know what it's like to sit in the other chair and how hard it can be at times. I also know how rewarding my life is now because of that hard work. I appreciate that how having had the right person there supporting me through that hard work was invaluable. Although I draw on the knowledge from my training, books and theories, it's my own struggles and growth that really creates connection to others. Anyone can read a book. When I sit with someone, I can't ask them to feel something or do something I haven't been willing to feel or do myself. By doing my own work I am also better at keeping my side of the street clean so I can maintain clarity and objectivity for the people I work with.
