Empowering

Warm

Hi, I’m Carolyn, owner of Blooming Bright Counseling and a therapist passionate about supporting neurodivergent children, teens, and adults as they navigate anxiety, trauma, emotional overwhelm, life transitions, and relationship challenges.

That means I understand — both clinically and personally — how nervous system regulation, executive functioning challenges, and chronic stress can shape daily life.

My approach is warm, collaborative, and strengths-based, blending evidence-based therapies with nervous system-informed care to help clients feel safe, understood, and empowered. I strive to create a supportive space where clients can build coping skills, process difficult experiences, and reconnect with their authentic selves at their own pace. I became a therapist because I deeply believe people deserve safe, compassionate spaces where they can be fully themselves — messy, hopeful, hurting, and growing — without fear of judgment. Watching clients rediscover their inner light, reclaim their strengths, and gradually step into their power is the most meaningful and humbling part of my work.

First session

We’ll talk about what brings you to therapy, your goals, and what support looks like for you. It’s a chance for us to get to know each other and see if we’re a good fit.

Strengths

In addition to my professional training, I bring lived experience to this work. I am neurodivergent myself, living with ADHD and PTSD. That means I understand — both clinically and personally — how nervous system regulation, executive functioning challenges, and chronic stress can shape daily life.

Ideal clients

I offer a warm, collaborative, and non‑judgmental space where you can explore your story, understand your patterns, and grow in ways that feel authentic and empowering. My approach is grounded in trauma-informed, neurodivergent-affirming care. I specialize in working with children, teens, and adults navigating ADHD, Autism, trauma, emotional regulation challenges, and life transitions. My work is rooted in compassion, curiosity, and the belief that healing happens when we feel safe, supported, and understood. Clients often describe me as warm, grounded, and easy to talk to. I show up authentically — with empathy, humor when appropriate, and a deep respect for your lived experience.

Treatment methods

EMDR

I incorporate EMDR to help clients process traumatic experiences, reduce distress, and build more adaptive beliefs in a safe and paced way that can be effectively adapted for virtual sessions.

Trauma-Focused CBT

I also use Trauma-Focused CBT (TF-CBT) to help clients understand the connection between thoughts, feelings, behaviors, and trauma responses while building coping skills, emotional resilience, and a greater sense of safety and empowerment.

Somatic

I also incorporate Somatic Experiencing techniques in teletherapy to help clients gently increase awareness of body sensations, regulate the nervous system, and process stress or trauma in a gradual, supportive, and body-based way.

Mindfulness-Based Therapy

I utilize guided imagery and mindfulness exercises to help clients connect their brains, body, and breath as tools in emotional regulation.

I had nightmares about having to retell my story repeatedly before finding someone that fit. However, the details in her bio helped me make an informed choice with Carolyn. Not only was she generally knowledgeable, but also ALL of the specific ways I mentioned to find answers, tools, and support for decades on my own because there really wasn't any access to the kind of support I needed. The best part was how she validated it ALL!! I can't wait to dive deep with her help!
