My name is Carolyn Rounds and I have been in the private
practice of psychotherapy for 25 years. I have witnessed
remarkable changes in people, which have sometimes
transformed their lives. I have guided them through these
changes, but the real work has always been their own.
Successful therapy, in my judgment, requires courage in both
client and therapist. The client needs the courage to
explore the thoughts, feelings and behaviors from the past
and present that may be obstacles to achieving success in
loving relationships, parenting, friendship, career,
creative expression, peace of mind. The therapist needs the
courage to guide the client through difficult realizations
by remaining honest and authentic, while at the same time
providing the safety and support that makes change possible.
Life always entails transitions, loss of loved ones, of
health, of youth, of wealth, of friendships, of strength, of
work, of expectations. Feelings of powerlessness often
result from such life-altering transitions. During times
like this, we can find in therapy our only enduring power:
the ability to choose how we will handle these transitions,
how we will cope.
The ability to cope depends in large part on what we have
learned in our original families, how we see ourselves
because of it, what wounds we carry from the past, what
strengths we can lean on and further develop.
All of this and more in the work of therapy. It is a process
I believe in and have committed myself to. I look forward to
working with you. Areas of Specialization:
