Carol Seigler
(she/her)
I’m a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist who helps clients reconnect with themselves through a body-based, mindfulness-centered approach to healing. Many of the people I work with carry the effects of trauma, anxiety, attachment wounds, or painful life experiences that still feel present in their bodies and minds. I work from a mindfulness-based practice of “being with what is,” while helping clients use their bodies as allies in the healing process. Through a collaborative, compassionate, and trauma-informed approach, I support clients in moving out of survival mode and into greater safety, clarity, and emotional freedom. I strive to create a warm, nonjudgmental space where healing and growth feel possible.
Get to know me
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
In our first session, I take time to really listen. We’ll explore what’s bringing you to therapy, what you hope for, and what support might look like for you. I’ll ask thoughtful questions, offer reflections, and move at your pace, helping you feel safe, grounded, and understood while we begin mapping a path forward.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
My work blends mindfulness, somatic therapy, and trauma-informed approaches, including Somatic Experiencing, CBT, and transpersonal psychology. I bring warmth, presence, and depth to the therapy process, along with advanced training in nervous-system-based work. Clients often describe me as grounded, compassionate, and gently direct, and many find that our work helps them create deep, lasting change rather than temporary relief.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
You may have experienced trauma, whether emotional, physical, sexual, or relational, or you may struggle with anxiety, depression, dissociation, attachment wounds, or feeling disconnected from yourself. You might be high-functioning but exhausted, overwhelmed, or stuck in survival mode. I work best with clients who are ready for deeper, integrative healing, not just symptom management, and who want to build greater safety, self-understanding, and emotional resilience.

My treatment methods
Somatic
I use somatic therapy to help clients understand and regulate how stress and trauma are held in the nervous system. Rather than only talking about symptoms, we gently work with physical sensations, emotions, and nervous system responses to build safety, increase resilience, and reduce anxiety, trauma responses, and chronic stress patterns.
Attachment-based
I use an attachment-based approach to help clients understand how early relationships shape current patterns in emotions, relationships, and self-worth. In therapy, we explore relational dynamics, develop emotional safety, and build healthier ways of connecting with both self and others.
Mind-body approach
I integrate a mind-body approach that recognizes how thoughts, emotions, and physical states are deeply interconnected. Therapy may include mindfulness, nervous system regulation, and body awareness techniques to help reduce anxiety, improve emotional regulation, and restore a sense of balance and well-being.
Person-centered (Rogerian)
I provide a warm, nonjudgmental, and supportive therapeutic environment where clients feel safe, heard, and respected. Using a person-centered approach, I collaborate with clients to help them access their own inner strengths, clarify goals, and move toward meaningful change at their own pace.
Polyvagal Therapy
I use a polyvagal-informed approach to help clients understand and regulate their nervous system responses to stress, trauma, and overwhelm. We focus on increasing feelings of safety, reducing reactivity, and building practical tools to shift out of survival states and into greater emotional stability and connection.

I feel in our session she was able to really understand me and able to make conclusions that really helped to make me feel seen and understood. I know future sessions she will be able to help and provide tools for my specific situation at this time.
