LCSW, 14 years of experience
Frequently rebooked
My name is Carla Bryant and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. I have over 12 years of experience working with children, adolescents, families, and adults. I have experience providing individual therapy for those in school, adults who have experienced homelessness, justice-involved clients and individuals who have experienced physical and sexual abuse. I have worked with clients who have experienced loss, self-esteem issues, sexual exploitation, PTSD, parenting concerns, depression, anxiety, life transitions, and many other impairments that prevent them from being the best versions of themselves. I believe that healing can begin at any stage in life and that it is a process, best explored with someone you are comfortable with. I understand therapy may be difficult for some to engage in but your journey towards change and healing will be rewarding. As a therapist, I will always provide a safe space for you to explore your needs and voice your concerns. My goal is to guide and assist you in finding your peace and purpose in life. Though this is not an easy task and at times it may be difficult to discuss situations involving family, work, relationships, and life, please know that I will work together with you during this process. Change is possible and never forget you are worth it! Let’s begin your journey.
Your first session with me will be a way for us to get to know one another. I will be discussing in detail your intake form, to ensure all information is accurate, and to add information that may be missing. This also gives us the opportunity to see if we are the best fit for one another, as it is important that you find a therapist who can assist you in reaching your goals. I look forward to meeting you.

Carla has really helped me get to a better place mentally and is very open minded. Helps me talk about personal stuff that I would never think of telling anyone else, and her feedback is authentic. You don’t find that very much in people any more.

I’ve had the pleasure of working with Carla for the past 1.5 years, and she has been a pivotal part of my healing and growth. Through her compassionate, thoughtful, and consistent approach to therapy, she has helped me structure my thoughts, process difficult emotions, and gain clarity in areas of my life where I once felt stuck. Carla creates a safe space that invites honesty and self-reflection, and her guidance has empowered me to make meaningful changes and show up more fully in my life.

What brought me to Carla is I had a referral from Kaiser. Her smile stood out at first. She seemed like someone that I could talk to what kept me talking to her is her intelligence the way she gets me to articulate how I feel I couldn’t even get out of bed before I started conversations with her And she remembers everything that I’m going through and reminds me of different ways to embrace what is happening and how to articulate what I’m going through and assess the situation
