Karis Carter, CT
When you’re used to being the one who holds everything together, it can be hard to know when you need support, too. I work with teenage girls and women navigating anxiety, stress, relationships, boundaries, and the pressure to be everything for everyone. I especially enjoy working with oldest daughters, people-pleasers, and those who have learned to be “the responsible one.”
I provide a warm, supportive space to work through relationship challenges, emotional regulation, self-esteem, people-pleasing, and life transitions. My approach is collaborative, strengths-based, and holistic, considering your emotional, relational, spiritual, and personal lived experience.
For clients who are looking to incorporate faith into counseling, I offer a Christian faith-based perspective that honors the importance of your beliefs, values, and spiritual life. A holistic approach recognizes how deeply these parts of who you are can shape the way you understand yourself and navigate life. My goal is to create a space where you feel seen, understood, and supported as you grow in self-awareness and work toward healthier relationships with yourself and others.
If you’ve spent a long time being the strong one, putting others first, or carrying more than feels manageable, you don’t have to keep figuring it out alone. Reaching out can be the first step toward understanding yourself more deeply, creating healthier boundaries, and learning that you don’t have to carry everything by yourself. I welcome you to reach out to see if we might be a good fit.
Karis is currently a Clinical Mental Health Counseling student at
