About Carrie Convers, LMHC, QS, NCC
THERAPY FOR TRANSGENDER, GENDER DIVERSE AND LGBTQIA+ COMMUNITY
IN-PERSON IN BOCA RATON, FL AND ONLINE ACROSS FLORIDA
Hi, I'm Carrie Convers.
I'M A LICENSED MENTAL HEALTH COUNSELOR AND EMDR THERAPIST WHO WORKS WITH THE LGBTQIA+ COMMUNITY.
I help those who have ongoing challenges with gender dysphoria, trauma, depression and anxiety. My passion is helping transgender/gender diverse folks and their loved ones through life transitions and healing trauma. My goal is to help you stop feeling overwhelmed and hopeless and start guiding you to where things feel manageable again.
My Journey To Becoming A Therapist
Like everyone else, I'm human. I've been through both wonderful and difficult experiences that have shaped who I am and how I help.
As a teen and young adult, I struggled a lot with anxiety and depression. I know what it’s like to have difficult experiences and still be affected by them well into adulthood. I want to help others develop the tools and support they need to heal and feel empowered to move forward.
My life experiences are what led me to become the therapist I am today.
Helping People Is What I Look Forward To Every Day
Being a therapist is fulfilling. I love helping people become healthier and more empowered and watching them transform their lives. The most rewarding thing about being a therapist is seeing a person walk away lighter, more free, and excited about their life. I am committed to guiding you to where things feel manageable again.
I Have Compassion For People And Bring Supportive And Encouraging Energy To Sessions
I have a natural ability to:
Help people feel comfortable
Uncover what's under the surface
Collaborate with people to set goals and help them reach them
Help clients heal their past and manage the present
People who know me often say that I am a good listener who can help people feel heard and understood, which helps people feel seen and start to heal.
Our Sessions Are Focused On You
Sessions will provide you with the space to be yourself. In feeling safe and comfortable, you'll be able to gain clarity and deeply explore your thoughts, feelings, and goals.
It's important to me to provide a non-judgemental space where you can be yourself and ensure that the process is collaborative. There isn't a "one size fits all" approach to counseling and therapy. Our sessions will fit your specific needs and concerns.
As A Therapist, I Embrace The Following Philosophies
I believe that you are worthy of love and care
I believe that therapy should address the person as a whole - their mind, body, and spirit
I believe that sometimes small steps in the right direction end up being the biggest steps in the end
I believe that loving and accepting ourselves for who we are, scars and all, is one of the most courageous things we can do
I believe that even if we feel like we've lost hope, it's possible to show up, commit to ourselves, and do what it takes to start feeling better
