Caroline Schwenke-Guzman, Licensed Professional Counselor

As a mother, daughter, and friend who has experienced personal trauma and loss, I have a genuine understanding of how we are impacted by painful life circumstances, and how building new life skills can empower us once again. I'm Carrie, and I'm a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) and Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW). I graduated from Lamar University in August 2024 with a master's degree in counseling and development, and I earned a bachelor's degree from the University of Houston–Downtown in 2012, with a major in psychology and a minor in sociology. I have worked in the field for about 14 years. I am a boy mom and cat lover. I have four sons (two of my own and two bonus), and a husband who keeps me on my toes. I work with clients of all ages and various concerns, including anxiety, depression, trauma, relationships, parenting, and more.

Different experiences throughout my life have led me to want to help others. Above all, being the daughter of a beloved father who struggled with addiction, dealing with trauma, and the intense grief from his passing have been major driving forces in my motivation. I have an integrative approach to counseling, and I hope to grow with you at Thriveworks by offering a safe space to work toward your goals while guiding and empowering you. My goal is to offer a safe, warm, nonjudgmental space for you to share, grow, and feel encouraged. I hope you will take the next step by scheduling an appointment today. You've got this, and I can't wait to connect!
