Alex Carroll LCSW

I focus on uncovering and addressing the underlying emotional conflicts that drive compulsive behaviors. Rather than just managing symptoms, ISTDP works to break the cycle of avoidance and self-destructive patterns by fostering deeper emotional awareness and self-compassion to unlock lasting change.

My approach helps uncover and process the unconscious emotional conflicts that drive anxiety symptoms, such as excessive worry, panic, or physical tension. Through focused and compassionate work that meet your unique needs, I help clients recognize and release suppressed emotions, leading to lasting relief and greater emotional resilience

I help individuals struggling with depression identify and process the unresolved emotional pain that often underlies persistent feelings of sadness, numbness, or fatigue. By working through these suppressed emotions in a structured and supportive way, clients can break free from patterns of self-criticism and emotional shutdown, leading to a greater sense of vitality and connection.

My practice is grounded in psychodynamic principles, which explore the unconscious emotional conflicts that shape thoughts, behaviors, and relationships. By bringing these patterns into awareness, clients develop a deeper understanding of themselves, gain relief from persistent struggles, and build healthier, more fulfilling ways of engaging with the world.

I use an experiential approach to engage clients in a process of deep emotional exploration and transformation. Rather than just talking about emotions, this therapy focuses on experiencing and working through them in real time. This active, in-the-moment process helps break through stuck patterns, leading to greater emotional freedom and personal growth.

My work is rooted in helping clients navigate their emotional world with greater clarity and depth. Through an emotionally focused approach, I guide individuals toward recognizing and transforming the core emotional patterns that shape their relationships and self-perception. By fostering emotional awareness and deeper connection, clients experience meaningful, lasting change.
