Professional Profile

As a trauma-informed therapist, Carol Larson, AMFT, is dedicated to helping children, adolescents, adults, and families find healing and balance. Drawing on her clinical experience in school-based counseling and community mental health, she focuses heavily on supporting clients who are navigating ADHD, neurodivergence, anxiety, depression, and trauma.

Carol anchors her practice in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). Through this framework, she helps clients develop practical executive functioning skills, expand their emotional regulation, and build psychological flexibility. Because traditional talk therapy is not always the right fit, Carol frequently incorporates expressive modalities like play therapy, sand tray, and therapeutic art. Her primary goal is to create a safe, affirming space where clients can process difficult experiences and feel truly grounded in their bodies.

Personal Statement 

My clinical work is deeply informed by the same hands-on creativity and curiosity that drive my everyday life. Outside the therapy room, you will often find me painting abstract acrylics, practicing Neurographica, working on a complex jigsaw puzzle, or watching documentaries. I believe in honoring each person's individual story, and I am passionate about meeting my clients exactly where they are on their journey.
