Carly Keogh
Hey there! My name is Carly and I am a LMHC in New York. I have been in the field for 10 years and have worked in many different environments with many different populations. With my experience I am able to meet every client where they are and cater treatment to their specific needs.
First session
Being this far, is a huge step already! The first session is always the hardest as it often is used to gather a lot of information in a little amount of time. I understand that this can feel intense so I often like to create a plan with a client so they feel the most comfortable. Sometimes it is a casual conversation, sometimes it is jumping through the hard questions and getting to know each other, and other times it is working through a current stressor that is taking up too much to focus on anything else. Therapy is your time, so I want every client to feel in charge of their sessions.
Strengths
My specific style is honest, empowering, and creative. I am always open to try new evidence based approaches to help someone meet their specific needs in a way they may not have tried prior. I am a firm believer that everyone has potential to achieve their goals when they have the right support and guidance. Therapy is an opportunity to learn about yourself and work towards goals and I truly love helping those do so.
Ideal clients
I have been personally impacted by substance use so that became my main focus early on in my training. Since going virtual, I connect with people who are in struggling with recovery/in recovery. I also am a parent and am able to relate well with young parents/mothers. I have experience working with people with ADHD, anxiety, and mood disorders as well.
