New to Grow
Hi! My name is Carol Fritzsche. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and have been a mental health therapist for the past 11 years. I have 20 years experience working with children and families in the education field and in social services. My style of therapy enlists a few different approaches such as Humanistic, Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, Psychodynamic, Solution-Focused, Cognitive Processing therapy and others. I use a variety of evidence-based clinical interventions that meet your individual needs. I also am certified in Prolonged Exposure Therapy to treat PTSD and other trauma-related symptoms. My experience has been treating individuals struggling with anxiety, depression, social anxiety, trauma, poor concentration and focus, parenting issues, relationship issues, codependency, domestic violence, phobias, mood issues and disorders, learning disabilities, problems related to chronic illness, grief and loss, and struggles with aging. I think it takes a lot of courage to ask for help. I want to be a part of your journey in self-discovery and being the better version of you. In addition, you owe it to yourself to feel better. The path towards feeling better is wide enough for us to walk together. This is the therapeutic relationship. It is a key component in understanding the thoughts, feelings and behaviors that are holding you back. Our relationship is collaborative and you are the best guide for me as we navigate you together.
Therapy is a collaborative relationship between client and therapist. You can expect a warm, nurturing, safe space to work through your past and current challenges. First sessions are a great time to lay down th groundwork for our working relationship and for us to start the process of getting to know you. We explore your interests, strengths, barriers, and goals for treatment. This is a safe space for you to feel heard and to start your growth journey.
I have experienced my fair share of challenges in my life. What I learned about these challenges is that they have been key in my growth and desire to want to give back a safe, emotional space to individuals who are experiencing their own set of challenges. Although the challenges were troublesome and problematic at one point in my life, I have immense empathy and caring for individuals who need emotional support and someone to help them gain insight and use strategies and coping skills to manage a healthier mindset. My authenticity has been an attribute welcomed by my previous clients who have said that they feel heard, understood, challenged and motivated to make necessary changes.
Other specialties
I identify as
Eclectic
I use an eclectic approach to therapy, which means I tailor treatment to each client's unique needs rather than relying on a single therapeutic model. I draw from evidence-based approaches such as person-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, solution-focused therapy, mindfulness, and trauma informed therapy.
